Last year I was attacked by three policemen at a demonstration who thought I was filming them. I told them I was listening to colours, but they thought I was mocking them and tried to pull the camera off my head. For some reason, this strikes me as particularly awful. Not that police don't want to be filmed, that's predictably repugnant for its own clear reasons. Its that they had no problem ripping a prosthesis off someone before even bothering to try to understand it because it looked different. What's next, wrestling old folk to the ground and ripping out their hearing aids because they might be recording devices? Will there be an unwritten "normalcy code" that disabled people will have to follow to avoid assault? |

You're lying to yourself if you honestly believe that doesn't exist today.
