Thank you for this story, . REALLY looking forward to covering issue of lack of employment among ppl with disabilities & widespread disability discrimination (which is top substantive basis of EEOC complaints)— including on the air— *FAR* more often. Marketplace ADA

The comments in this thread are perfect!

Mentally disabled people are a majority of the democrat party.

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesThe high crime areas need parental reform more than police reform. When 70% of black children grow up w/o fathers in their lives that’s a serious cultural problem. It’s disgusting that it’s ok for police to hurt and kill without any penalties.
