Cops claiming they had to act quickly. BS.

Atlanta police did the same thing to a naked man with disabilities a few years ago.

And people wonder why parents like me worry about their disabled children.

legal rights. My son cannot marry, vote, conduct personal business, etc.

But yeah, we should all worry about our children with all the unbelievable crap going on.

Frightening that we have such a long road ahead and it seems we are always at the beginning. I fear for us all and especially those who are at risk of becoming victims of these monsters who can’t seem to do their jobs.
