Two Phoenix police officers, Ben Harris and Kyle Sue, have been placed on paid administrative leave following their involvement in the arrest of Tyron McAlpin, a deaf Black man with cerebral palsy. The incident drew national attention due to video footage showing the officers punching and using a taser on McAlpin, who was misidentified as a suspect in a crime. Despite the officers' testimony at a preliminary hearing, they did not disclose that they were under internal investigation. This action comes amid broader scrutiny of Phoenix police practices after a U.S. Justice Department report indicated discrimination against disabled and Black individuals. Following a review by Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell, all charges against McAlpin were dismissed. This case has sparked public outcry and is being monitored by a police accountability office and civilian review board.
