Disabled ppl are more likely to be incarcerated, bc of our society's many levels of oppression. Ending incarceration is necessary if we want to protect health & safety of all of our communities. #DeafInPrison #DisabledInPrison #DisabilitySolidarity #DecriminalizeDisability

CW: video shows officers utilizing a “new” lasso tool. Police brutality implied and shows people falling. A cattle tool for crises. Responses explain why this is very, very wrong. #DecriminalizeDisability #BlackLivesMatter #BlackDisabledLivesMatter

Police have NO PLACE in mental health crisis response. Police have NO PLACE in a just society. Walter Wallace Jr. should be alive today. #AbolishThePolice #NoCopsInCrisis ID: A photo of a cell phone with an image of Walter Wallace Jr. and his mother smiling at the camera

Did you know that up to half of people killed by police are disabled? The demand to #DefundPolice is a disability justice demand. Disability must be decriminalized for disabled communities, especially Black disabled communities,to survive.#DecriminalizeDisability @TransLawCenter

100% agree when a man is shot 4 times as a result of a Behavioral Health Call that is a FAILURE of Baltimore Police. Thank you councilman @Zeke_Cohen #DecriminalizeDisability

Mental illness should not mean a death sentence. Baltimore has a long way to go in determining how we effectively resolve crises. For anyone that is suffering, please know that you are loved and your life matters. baltimore.cbslocal.com/2020/…

We have alternatives to police here in Baltimore . A behavioral health crisis team could have been dispatched INSTEAD of police who shot Ricky 5 times ! Seems we have to retrain dispatch/ 911 operators to make sure the appropriate team responds #DecriminalizeDisability
“Our system will continue to fail the people it is trying to serve” without immediate change, said Adrienne Breidenstine, vice president of policy and communications for Behavioral Health System Baltimore. bit.ly/3iOZPoS
I could’ve descalted that situation without 5 bullets. Cops are NOT behavioral health experts& they got a call for a man with schizophrenia. Mistake #1 was sending 5 👮 & a medic. Respectfully check out whitebirdclinic.org/services… Let’s talk change . #DecriminalizeDisability

Read my full follow-up statement on last week's police-involved shooting:

The woman who clearly was in the middle of a mental health crisis that BPD DID NOT de-escalate properly MAY not face jail time for hitting the 👮 Ppl are upset by this. Reminder that since the incident in May she was held w/o bail during a pandemic. #DecriminalizeDisability
Replying to @50ShadesofKellz
Secondly, this is being framed like the time she spent in jail HELD WITHOUT BAIL ain’t happen, like the state DIDNT REQUEST someone with clear mental illness to be held without bail....
