As a special education teacher who advocates to provide my students a real say in the decision making process, I find this infuriating. As someone who values civil liberties, I find this bill infuriating. As someone who expects (as we all should) that police officers treat with respect and patience to all people, not just those with a specific designation on their driver's license, I find this insufficient and neglecting to address the larger problem: A police culture that would put people with disabilities in danger in the first place. Thank you to those legislators who spoke out on this issue.
