Tyron McAlpin , a Black man who is deaf and has cerebral palsy, was punched at least 10 times and tased repeatedly.

Video shows that, immediately upon pulling up, officer Benjamin Harris jumped out of his vehicle and began punching him.

The ACLU Arizona Policy Director Darrell Hill said the video showed "another devastating example of Phoenix Police Department's racial bias and use of excessive force against people who do not pose a threat to them".
