genericdubstep:daughterofthestars08:bellaxiao:Self-defense? He’s 6 years old ffs…I can’tMore infuriating info:The boy is autisticThe boy and his father were in a truckThe father stopped the vehicle and raised his arms to show he was unarmedONE OF THE ARRESTED OFFICERS WAS ACTIVELY STALKING THE FATHER’S FIANCEThey are trying to claim self defense AND claim they didn’t know there was a child in the truckThey fired “no less than 18 rounds” into the truckThe father was hit but still alive. The boy ended up being shot in the head multiple times.There is bodycam footage of the incident and every official/lawyer that has seen and spoken on it has called it horrific.50% of all police violence victims are autistic or mentally ill. If an autistic person starts screaming or can’t look a cop in the eyes, they use that as an excuse to shoot. I hope Black Lives Matter starts talking about that, too.Police violence hurts the mentally ill a lot and of course that also means black autistic / mentally ill kids are getting hurt and killed. Ableism is deadly. -- source link
