McAlpin, who is deaf and has cerebral palsy, was immediately grabbed and repeatedly punched and shocked with a Taser by the two officers — one of whom can be heard in body cam footage complaining that he broke his hand throwing punches.
McAlpin was then charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault and one felony count of resisting arrest — he spent 24 days in jail because he could not afford the $7,500 bond.
This incident comes just months after the Department of Justice released its report finding that Phoenix police discriminate against minorities and routinely use excessive force — including unjustified deadly force.

The US’s biggest problems is the police problem. The whole fucking thing needs to be started over from the ground up. Right now, they intentionally hire thugs and protect those thugs.
Step one is dismantling the Police Unions, which give all other unions a bad name
So they assaulted the guy without any provocation, beat the crap out of him, lied about it…
So these police officers will be immediately fired and placed on a permanent no-hire list and then taken to court where a jury of their peers will send them to jail, right?
Right?
Great, they did the minimally sane thing. Now how is that investigation going?
