Senseless Police Brutality Comin' to a Streetcorner Near Ya

Didja hear about the senseless act of police brutality right in front of San Francisco Dept. of Public Health? The cops shot a man in wheelchair! Granted, he was stabbing tires and one fellow officer but there he's not dangerous by any means.

How could this have happened? Incredible!

Here's the vid shot by a passerby with his camera phone:



I guess I now know that police can prey on the weak and helpless. Most of the homeless are mentally ill; others aren't. . My god, they said they should have Tasered the guy in the wheelchair. I mean, the guy is already disabled. You wanna create more problems for the man? In other words,  the cops wanna justify this incident by saying they should've tranquilized the disabled victim. 
But they should be trained to treat the disabled like decent human beings They should have sensitivity training on how to treat disabled folks.
Everytime I see a vid of police of dissing the disabled folks, I feel sick. It's like we don't have the same rights as our fellow citizens. And to have it seen right in our own backyard, that's unnerving. I guess it could happened everywhere, but you don't want it to happen in our own San Francisco. But as the vid shown above proves, it could happen anywhere! Sad but true.

Advocacy is the answer.
4 R the  peers n' those who are unable to speak up, I say, let's join together and let's not let any authority stand in our way
let's educate those who need understanding patience& knowledge With knowledge comes power to do right by us.

Godspeed!
