A 13-Year-Old With Autism Got Arrested After His Backpack Sparked Fear. Only His Stuffed Bunny Was Inside.
Disability rights advocates said kids like Ty should not be getting arrested under Tennessee’s school threats law. And they tried to push for a broader exception for kids with other kinds of disabilities. It didn’t work.
Abusing, intimidating and even murdering disabled people is right up there on the list of cops' favourite activities, along with murdering Black people, beating their wives, and shooting dogs.

Full agree with you
but also he did say the school would blow up
Arrest? Probably too much.
Responding to him saying the school will blow up? Maybe something that should be done.
Na, screw that. The police are a danger to marginalised people and should not be called out for (anything, but especially not) something that could be cleared up in a matter of minutes by the school, or at most, social services. By calling them, the person who does actively puts marginalised people's life at risk.
Don't forget
civil forfeiturelegalized theft.
For the home of the brave there sure are a lot of scaredy cats.
That phrase has been untrue for decades, and the fact that Trump could possibly win the popular vote proves it.
If I was black, with an autistic son, in a place like Tennessee, I would be moving my family to a deep blue city in a deep blue state ASAP rtfn.
I lived in Tennessee for less than a year with plans to stay permanently. Was discriminated against for having a name that didn't sound "white". People would apologize and become friendly once they saw me in person.
Got the fuck out of there asap.
Not everyone can be so lucky/privileged as to be able to move.

This, and especially when a member of the family is disabled.
