This sentence and the previous paragraph reminds me of the Garland-Thomson (2002) reading and how she points to the multitude of intersectional issues that can combine with an individual's disability and affect the way that they are perceived as well as how they are treated. As the article says, Justine's presence in the BLM movement indeed is important because Thomson (2002) would infer that disabled folks, but especially disabled women, disabled queer folks, and disabled people of color are always subject to discriminations that entail eugenic programs, hate crimes, lynching, domestic violence, genocide, racial profiling, the list goes on. The article informs us that disability is often left out of police brutality and Thomson would explain that this issue and so many others like it are "legitimated by systems of representation, by collective cultural stories that shape the material world, underwrite exclusionary attitudes, inform human relations, and mold our senses of who we are" (9).
