All charges against Tyron Scott McAlpin, a deaf Black man with cerebral palsy, have been dismissed following a violent encounter with Phoenix police officers on August 19. The Maricopa County Attorney's office decided not to pursue felony charges after reviewing extensive evidence, including body camera footage that showed officers punching and tasing McAlpin. The incident began when police responded to a call regarding a white man causing a disturbance, but upon arriving, they targeted McAlpin based on an allegation from the man who made the call. McAlpin's attorney argued that the officers failed to de-escalate the situation and did not realize he was deaf until it was too late. The police union defended the officers, claiming McAlpin was combative, while community leaders have raised concerns about police accountability. The case has drawn significant attention, prompting calls for transparency and reforms within the Phoenix Police Department.
