re: Grand Jury Doesn't Indict Cops who kill man with down syndrome

didn't a similar incident happen not too long ago with a down syndrome man? or maybe this is the same one I'm recalling from when the story hit.

eta: yes, this was the incident i was recalling from almost two years ago (I guess the movie title should've given that away). i remember being apoplectic then.

i don't know that i'm for some rash of indictments for every police f up, but something seems very OOC and something needs to be done. i don't even know that i'm for the GoPro solution, as i'm not really for a culture where everyone is surveilled all the time. And i have a feeling it would be abused and have unintended consequences somehow. but f me. something.

also, mistreatment/insensitivity of/toward people with disabilities is one of those hot-button topics for me--along with child and elderly issues-- that go beyond logic and basic sympathy. something clicks in my brain, and I want abusers to die slow and painful deaths. I know I'm not alone here, but it is extreme and a little scary. seeing this story again has f'ed up my day.
