I don't talk about it often enough, probably, but a few times a year I'll bring this up.
Ppl RIGHTLY talk about the disproportionate abuse that cops target at black men, but Deaf ppl get **even more** abuse bc cops hate it when you don't obey, even if you have no way to hear their commands.
A deaf teen was violently detained by ICE for not “following orders”.
He couldn’t hear their orders.
They denied him an interpreter.
Denied him accommodations.
This is who they are.
They target the disabled because eugenics and fascism go hand in hand.
