None that I can see.<br /><br />Police in North America are fraked up beyond anything, and have no idea how to act with <i>anybody</i> anymore, people with disabilities included (which is why Black Lives Matter has become such a big organization.)<br /><br />As I've said elsewhere (and unfortunately, I can't provide the link, as I'm working with a PlayStation III that has an obsolete browser), we need what Japan has in terms of how police are to be trained, with strict educational requirements (a few years of college, plus training in human development and other things related to dealing with human beings) before a person can become a cop (this incident reminds me of the Dane Spurell incident of a few years ago in St. Johns, with the unfortunate Mr. Spurell being mistaken for being 'drunk' when he was actually autistic). We need this now for the TPS in particular before we get something like a Down's syndrome person being chokeholded to death for not leaving a movie theater (which actually happened in the United States a short while ago.) And these cops <i>should</i> be suspendced without pay for a while, and be forced to take training in dealing with disabled people (I'd say that said cops should be thrown off of the force for good, but that might be seen as being a bit excessive.)Lionel Braithwaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251435131708623589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-49907678425390336612017-06-11T20:14:01.182-04:002017-06-11T20:14:01.182-04:00This has also been a pressing topic in the HR comm...This has also been a pressing topic in the HR community RE: workplace harassment.

They are chosen to make an impact or elicit a response. <br />The officers chose the words, and the location <br />An official reprimand, plus a 3 day unpaid suspension, seems like an appropriate consequence.having them spend it attending trainings for disabled persons on civil rights and self advocacy as participants who come in street clothes and observe, with a chance to talk to trainers at break and after to try to engage them....<br /><br />restorative justice has several elements..all are needed to truly effect change...<br /><br />it might not change these 3 cops..but you never know...<br />clairesmumUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382503094929375543noreply@blogger.com
