Black and disabled Americans are calling for awareness of their unique risks in police interactions.

. Moore, who has cerebral palsy, said he has been stopped by police many times over the years, from an incident when, as a young man in New York, police believed he had"escaped from a group home or an institution" to a more recent experience of being pulled over in his neighborhood in the San Francisco Bay area"because I'm a Black disabled man on a nice bike."

Moore's ideas match up with what some in law enforcement said they also see as a solution. Brian Higgins, former chief of the Bergen County, New Jersey, Police Department, said agencies are increasingly tasked with"nontraditional police work" that leaves them overstretched. Instead, teams comprise a medically trained person and a behavioral health worker who can assess the situation depending on the needs of the person and give medical attention at the scene or, if necessary, refer him or her to a detox and sobering center.

That evening, Tulsa police Officer Betty Shelby was on her way to a domestic violence call when she stopped to investigate why Crutcher's car was standing in the middle of the road. Shelby later testified that Crutcher, who was outside the vehicle, didn't respond to her commands., Crutcher is seen walking toward the car, hands up, as several officers follow with weapons drawn.

really now disabled need to be even more special then other disabled races. Never ended are they pulling over blacks in wheelchairs or something what frisking them kneeling on their necks roughing them up.

Wish the warmth could be spread to them

You don’t miss an angle do you?

I take it no White people are saying a thing somehow. Why do you just seperate any people of race in all of your articles, except for your own gains. Trump. 2020 󾓦

Its about time for some serious police reform on a national level.

News media are the worst racists!!!

You just keep the devide coming. Dem supporters what changed. Trump knew what they were doing, he's going after the elite. Who are the elite.

Last I check there are disabled whites too and other races stop this stupidity

We have thugs riding around in wheelchairs now, cops cannot catch a break!!

I have only seen police treat disabled Americans with respect and compassion.

Please stop. Stop this divisive bullshit based around skin tone. There's no way to unify this nation if the MSM and politicians, constantly dig at the cracks of our society.

Americans police must have seen black as disabled..Same treats..

Are you Looking for Creative Professional Business card or stationery design? contract-

Oh FFS.

Since you’re already disabled,, might wanna stay out of trouble. LMAO

Disabled? So are police now killing unarmed people in wheelchairs in record numbers? You guys are pathetic FakeNews

This is beyond dumb.

Aahh poor criminals.

Happy 4th of July to one of the most BIASED AND FAKE ASS NEWS CHANNELS

It’s NOT just black lives. Everyone sometimes gets a bad reaction from the cops. It’s everyone who needs to not get so hostile towards cops. There are plenty of good ones out there.

Here's a perfect example of how elites think of blks and disabled ppl. Blks are in an entirely different group than them. Maybe black disabled ppl are the biracials. Ppl, you gotta stop listening to them. They hate you anyways.

The police are at risk with these thugs and when things get outta of hand and the police is not around any more to defend people and ave they asses from criminals then y'all will still blame them and say they not doing they job Wtf is y'all want Democrats should be fucken ashamed

Sorry we ran out of tissues 🤧

Ahahahah🤣

NBC--Give it a REST!

pretty bad when you can't trust your cops with disabled people....

10 shot last night in chicago. 3 shot this morning, 1 female 33 DOA. Black/black so WHO cares. some BlackLivesMatter narrativa Election2020 honkhonk

You didn't mention trans, therefore you hate trans and must be defunded

Pedaling the division on Fourth of July.

About address black on black crime, which IS a far far greater problem than police shooting blacks.. But you can't leverage that for political gain, So those black lives don't matter I guess.

Hmmm. Hmmmm, hmmmmm, hmm

This is the real problem, not people owning slaves in the past. Remember there was slavery in Roman Empire, so Europeans are slave descendants as much as Africans Americans are.

All news media organizations are controlled by one political party or another.

What about Hispanics Asians whites ect?

Perhaps they should act in such a way as to avoid such interactions.

I have seen it all praise the lord

Why do you need a 'police interaction'? Why can't you just follow the law? My Aunt is 86 and never was arrested once in her life. Why? Because she follows the law. Why is that so hard for certain people?

Lol

Cops should have more sympathy to the citizen of it's country. To think that cops are being the one violating the citizen is just so otherwise as the law depicts them for what they'll have to do. They have no awareness of what they'll do I think they're just a robot 🚶‍♂️ form

THEY ARE BEING LIED TO BY MSM BackTheBlue

NBC THIS MUST KILL YOU WE LOVE TRUMP

Yes.

Yeah, yeah, boo hoo for you.

Boston To Remove Statue Depicting Abraham Lincoln With Freed Black Man At His FeetBoston officials have voted to remove a copy of Thomas Ball's sculpture 'Emancipation Memorial,' which has stood since 1879 and depicts a formerly enslaved man kneeling before Abraham Lincoln. ' Now no more nightmares about this statue? All good? If we are being honest about Lincoln. He was a segregationist and with that context in mind it is a severely fucked up statue That statue was always pretty ridiculous. Like Lincoln himself raised up a Black man. 'Oh thank you, THANK you massa, for letting me stand back up after beating me down for 300 years.'
