"I work with LEOs"
"I know most LEOs would do better."
"I'm friends with LEO."
First off, those are red flags for all marginalized folks who have had human rights violated by cops.
Secondly, there's very little proof that most cops would do better, when given many opportunities to do so.
STFU with #copaganda crap.
Police apologists support marking autistics - forced to label ourselves on our ID cards. They try to say it is to help us be treated better by cops. That's a load of poop.
@PhoenixSerenity the only time I can imagine a cop knowing you’re autistic being in any way beneficial is if your behavior is outside allistic standards in such a way that the police believe they can use it as reasonable justification for shooting you, in which case you are already bleeding out on the ground by the time they see your id
so
I’m extremely unsure what this is supposed to accomplish, even in the most charitable possible interpretation
on the other hand at least it is astonishingly easy to understand what it is supposed to accomplish given an even mildly realistic reference frame: enabling discrimination
after all, if it’s there for the cops, it’s there for everyone else too
