All charges against Tyron McAlpin, a deaf Black man with cerebral palsy, were dropped after a violent arrest by Phoenix police was captured on video, showing officers punching and Taser-ing him. McAlpin was initially charged with resisting arrest and aggravated assault following an incident on August 19, where police mistakenly identified him as a suspect in a theft. After reviewing the case and consulting with community members, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell decided to dismiss all charges, stating that they were unjust. The arrest has drawn attention to ongoing concerns about excessive force and discrimination within the Phoenix Police Department. McAlpin's attorney expressed relief and called for accountability from the city. This incident follows a federal investigation into the police department's practices regarding minority communities.
