Response: Concerns re Disability/Deaf Rights Communities' Responses to Policing Systems' Violence

6/19/2019

0 Comments

 
I provided an explanation of my concerns with white disability/deaf rights communities responding to police violence pushing for more training, more fingerspelling police officers, more registries of deaf/disabled people, more deaf/disabled driver cards, more police-led "trainings" for deaf/disabled people, and more.

If you are seeking solutions to police violence, you will have to look much deeper. These proposals perpetuate dangerous ideas about people who are policed and about policing systems.

"We know that those who came before us dreamed of things that no one thought could exist. We honor them by continuing to dream—by finding new ways to advance the rights that they gave their lives for."
