🔍 Episode Overview:
Two Phoenix police officers are under investigation after the violent arrest of Tyron McAlpin, a 34-year-old deaf Black man with cerebral palsy. Bodycam footage shows officers shouting commands at Tyron McAlpin, who was lying face-down, and repeatedly punching and tasing him. Tyron McAlpin had initially faced charges of theft, aggravated assault, and resisting arrest after police claimed he took a "fighting stance." However, his attorney argued that McAlpin’s disability, including his inability to hear commands and his limited motor control due to cerebral palsy, was misinterpreted as aggression. All charges against Tyron McAlpin were eventually dropped after a review by Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell. The Phoenix Law Enforcement Association defended the officers, stating they were under immediate attack, while critics, including Tyron McAlpin's attorney and disability rights advocates, called for accountability and highlighted ongoing concerns with Phoenix police practices, especially regarding individuals with disabilities. The incident has raised significant public outcry and is part of a larger conversation about police conduct in Phoenix.
