Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown announced that he will not seek charges stemming from the police shooting of a man with autism in Columbia back in March.

So upsetting that this keeps happening to autistic adults!

  It was suicide by cop, but I need to stress that itself is police brutality.
  
  He said he didn’t want to live anymore, and refused to drop a knife while approaching the officers. All 3 fired at him.
