Man who yells at handicapped parking user gets instant karma from cop.

A man with an invisible disability legally parked in a handicapped spot and was verbally assaulted by a stranger. The stranger was later arrested for a DUI by a nearby cop. Discrimination against people with disabilities, both visible and invisible, is still prevalent and can take many forms, including ableism. It is important to believe disabled people when they say they need help, avoid ableist language, and prioritize accessibility in all spaces. People with disabilities should evaluate the risks and benefits of disclosing their disabilities and seek resources from organizations like Disability:IN and Invisible Disabilities Association.
