The arrest of Tyron McAlpin, a deaf Black man with cerebral palsy, by Phoenix police officers Benjamin Harris and Kyle Sue on August 19 has sparked significant controversy and investigations. Video footage shows officers tackling, punching, and tasing McAlpin, who was unable to hear their commands, during his arrest for resisting arrest and aggravated assault. The incident occurred after police responded to a report of a man being assaulted, with the alleged victim identifying McAlpin as the suspect. The arrest has drawn public outrage and is under scrutiny by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, amid claims of excessive force and civil rights violations. This follows a Justice Department report criticizing the Phoenix Police Department for systemic civil rights abuses, including excessive force against minorities. The case highlights ongoing concerns about police conduct and accountability in Phoenix, prompting calls for federal oversight and reform.
