@AP I may be wrong, but it seems like allowing the conditions to be so bad as to lead a disabled person to choose euthanasia is what actually devalues the lives of disabled people. Improve their standard of life and fewer people would see this as an option to stop their suffering.

To be clear: this content warning should not be taken lightly. The images are truly awful. Just know that it’s more than obvious that the victims cause of death does not match the police report. You really don’t need to see it.

Massive fucking TW: death, violence, police murder, white supremacist gang mentions; AND if you click on this tweet, even more fucking massive TW: photos of deceased victim (graphic, also being circulated w/ family’s permission). . . . .

Mayor Frey has fostered a culture of blame passing during his years in office. So, it frustrating, but certainly not surprising, that they’re trying to deflect criticism for such an embarrassing fuckup as forgetting to provide water to a concert thrown on hot concrete in July.
