What are your thoughts regarding the recent treatment
of a Florida man with quadriplegia who was dumped out of his wheelchair
by a cop? What about the incident last fall when a St. Paul police
officer assaulted Goug Bahl, who is deaf?
Do you think law enforcement personnel sufficiently understand disability issues?
What do you believe could be done to help them understand disability issues to
prevent further incidents? What policies and procedures could be developed to
protect individuals with disabilities, law enforcement personnel, and the general
public during traffic stops, suspect searches, arrests, and detentions?
Please send your responses
to Access Press, access@accesspress.org,
and we’ll print
them. Thanks. ![]()
