Wonderful news that D's father is improving! May it continue to be so.
No need to apologize, and thank you for clarifying your point for me.
Unfortunately, many police officers, who have been trained in how to recognize a disability and show respect and understanding, still assault disabled people in custody.
The examples you gave about your friend with CP and your friend in a wheelchair are probably fairly recent in history. The cases of police brutality against people with disabilities, which we've discussed here on CN, are only a few years old. My dad's experience was a nearly 50 years ago. Half of a century.
This is a systemic, long standing problem, which has no simple solution. But, we must start somewhere. We might begin by affirming that we are all equal by the law of our nation. We are all entitled to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Prayers for peace around the world and equality for all.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences, funnylegs4. We learn from each other, which is how it is supposed to be. All of us are one.
Love & Light,
Rose
