The article discusses the author's views about police violence against people with mental disabilities and a duty under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) to reasonably accommodate mentally disabled people during the arrest process, and it mentions the ADA's nondiscrimination protections and different judicial interpretations of Title II of the ADA. A wrongful arrest theory and exigent circumstances are addressed, along with a direct threat exception.
