Other YSK That many people with a disability consider their aides (wheelchair, etc.) an extension of themselves. You should ask before touching or moving them.

Read this article and was surprised to hear how many people struggle with this. Even if you are trying to help, you should ask first.

I know. It still is shocking to me. This is in broad daylight, with witnesses and cameras on them..

How many awful things did they do when people were not there to see it?!

They truly have lost their humanity. And we are paying them!!!

Portland police? police don’t go up in unmarked vans and nap people while also in military apparel, these are just thugs, the fact that we call these law enforcement personnel is a disgrace to the law

I think ME stood for Maine and not Oregon, the curators of horrible police violence.

It was a response to a user name.

Portland Police have been fucking horrible long before Trumps goon squad made it worse.

All they have to do is say they fear for their lives then it's all good. License to take property a license to beat and torture. A license to kidnap kill and post-mortem slander. all they have to do is say they feared for their lives. That's it. Or resisting arrest. All you have to do is say 'why are you arresting me' and they can beat your skull in for resisting.

Trump has secret police disappearing people, and the police have always acted this way, none of this should shock you.
