In discussions of police brutality, disabled folks are shoved into the corner and unmentioned. Excessive force, mistreatment and malice are everyday occurrences in the lives of those who are differently abled. These are not isolated incidents – empirically people with disabilities are much more likely to face arrest, discrimination, and police brutality. Qualified immunity makes disabled folks open to over policing and brutality – Officers get away without facing the disastrous consequences of their actions. Qualified immunity prevents victims from accessing compensation for discrimination cases. Plan Thus the plan text: The United States federal government ought to mandate that all circuit courts prohibit the use of the qualified immunity defense for damages brought under the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities Act against police officers. Allowing plaintiffs to pursue legal remedy through disability legislation has empirically caused increased accommodations and facilities for disabled folks. Police departments can change and improve interaction with mentally ill – Memphis proves. ROB/Framing The role of the ballot is to promote strategies for the liberation of disabled people. Exclusion of disabled individuals is the root cause of violence. The relationship between the police and disabled folks has reached a breaking point – an intense examination of the structures that separate them is required for positive change Underview
