People in our culture are unconcerned about current events that may or may not impact or happen to them because they do not think it would. Consider a situation where a teenager with autism is having an and the police are called to assist, but the teenager is killed by police because the officers used excessive force. This issue of people with mental illnesses being attacked or killed by police is troubling and tragic because, while police are expected to support and protect us, they use force on people who might go too far and end up seriously injured or killed. Since the news media seldom reports it, the fact that the majority of police brutality victims are injured or killed goes unnoticed. In fact, since you never know what will happen, this issue can affect or happen to you or anyone you know with a mental disability. Who can we trust if someone suffering from a mental disorder needed support and was instead abused or murdered by someone they expected to help them? You’re aware of police violence because you’ve seen videos and read accounts of officers abusing citizens, but you’re unaware of a disease that they face. You should be concerned about this because it is a civil rights violation. You should be concerned about this and take action to stop it because it could happen to you or anyone you know who is suffering from a mental illness.
