This is the same stupidity you admitted to having when you served in law enforcement?
No, but it's the same stupidity you carry as a retired cop.
You fall short in your comments about the tasering,
since the possibility of serious injury and/or death exists whenever the weapon is deployed. it is a deadly weapon.
They could have murdered this man.
People with the disabilities get abused all the time I'm not surprised this is the first one being shown in a long time, everyone knows beating up someone with disabilities is wrong but it still happens
There are no words for this level of brain deadness. WTAF???
This is a clear case of deaf and dumb. The victim is deaf. The cops are beyond dumb.
😂😂😂😂 absolutely agree what ignorant dumb tyrants they are😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s almost criminal to be this stupid
Hahaha
😂
Come on , we all know they will declare they were just trying to assist in recharging his hearing aids and did no wrong doing.
125K is really low for a violation of the American Disabilities Act.
It's ridiculously low for all the violations of 18 USC, s/s 242 (Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law) you see in the video.
How about the 10 years of getting imprisoned for depriving the people their rights and a person who is clearly shouting out “I’m DEAF” how dunce cap worthy are you???? Open your ears and SHUT YOUR MOUTH OFFICER!!
No settlement yet, still in court
lawsuit
She said two years later in 2021, they filed a federal lawsuit accusing the City of San Marcos and the three officers of violating Kelley’s civil rights and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
“We allege in the lawsuit that the police used excessive force,” Webber said. “He wasn’t arrested or charged with anything.”
Webber said a judge is currently deciding if the lawsuit will go to a jury trial. She expects a decision by July or August.
and lawyer gets half, should of been at least 750000
@@randyfromthepeg4994
It should have been 5 years of indentured servitude to the deaf man - doing his every bidding, or face the rod.
How stupid do you have to be to continue talking to someone after they tell you that they are deaf?
When I worked at Arby's if I had a deaf customer I grabbed a paper to write what I was saying unless they made it clear they can read my lips. If because of their disability I couldn't understand them I'd apologize and explain that to them asking them to write what they want. It's not hard to accommodate people
Cop stupid. Cop stupid is pretty stupid.
Texas stupid.
@tomraineofmagigor3499 You are one of the few (who recognizes that)! Thank you.
Kinda like pressing the buttons on the remote harder, when the battery is dead...
Some people are just born stupid. Unfortunately, that's not a condition that can be cured... 🤦♀
....after he tells them he is deaf, they keep saying commands to him as if he was magically going to hear...idiots
They should be too ashamed to show their faces in public after that. They are too stupid to be outside without adequate supervision. They certainly should not be dealing with the public anywhere. I don't think he received nearly enough compensation.
His deaf ears should respect their authority (sarcasm).
"You are deaf, OK but stop for a minute cause we need to talk."
Is he an idiot, too, considering he already claimed to not understand their verbal responses, but continued you ask them "why"?
@@cameronmoore136 ...because he needed them to ask themselves why they messed up so bad...that is the least confusing part about this whole interaction...
The problem is qualified immunity. This will not stop until the police know they will lose there homes, cars, pensions and face mandatory long prison sentences
The issue of "qualified immunity" combined with the ability to lie to us and get away with it presents a very serious problem.
@@terryavery9918 The pigs lie just as easily under oath in court as they do to the public.
Qualified immunity only applies to civil suits. On the criminal side, the problem is corruption in the police and judicial system preventing effective prosecution.
It used to be possible to get around this by following the route of civil suits, just like in the case of the KKK (which was ruined with civil suits when corruption prevented effective prosecution). The Supreme Court then invented qualified immunity to make this impossible.
Title 18 U.S.C. Section 242
Title 18 U.S.C. Section 241
No, the problem is Prosecutors who conspire to protect known violent criminals. If prosecutors did their job, and charge those uniformed criminals, get convictions, then this will go away. And mind you, the law on the books concerning Crimes committed under the Color of Law have very severe punishments.
Oh and... a conviction results automaticaly in the loss of Qualified Immunity.
In the end QI is just a red herring to keep the masses occupied, while the actual problem could be solved by electing DAs, Judges, Sheriffs and Mayors who'll do their job properly. Local Elections matter.
Soo depressing. Hard to watch criminals with badges getting away with violet felonies.
But what about pink felonies? Are those cool?
Yeah this one is infuriating
@@-The_M. spell check Nazi. Very helpful.
yeah, I find this one particularly agonizing to watch
@@utredutredson1686they are straight up predators, nobody is safe anywhere.
The cops treated this man like an animal.
Deaf or not, he was under no LEGAL obligation to be compliant. He had the legal right to walk away.
Same as here in England.
Same as here in England.
if your ever in coventry and pc finny or jacklynn bird turn up .film them untull they leave or they will make an arrest happen.deckland jones has gone.
But that hurts their feelings, and that's their first priority for protecting.
@@andydudley1775Use English properly.
This one was Olympic level stupidity. He tells them he's deaf and they still just can't help themselves from giving verbal commands. 😳
If he's deaf and has claimed to not be able to understand their verbal remarks, why does he keep asking them why?
@@cameronmoore136 are u really that dense bruh he read they mouth
@@deondrex18k That's precisely my point, lmao. Reread what I said. If he can read their mouth, then he CAN understand what they're saying.
Yet he's also claiming he's deaf and unable to interpret what they're saying. He's contradicting himself.
The only crime committed was by the police.
Uni-thugs taser a ...
Seems much more accurate
As usual
This cop should have been fired asap, his ego to make someone obey asap prevented him from doing a proper investigation
Big ego and steroid use is not a good combination for interacting with people
Prison period
This was assault; the cops should be behind bars.
@@utredutredson1686 don't forget they are trained to do this. It's not just ego and steroids.
@@GreyWalker-isme very true
These cops committed a crime. Why are cops never arrested and charged when they commit crimes?
They DO get arrested. They DO get charged.
@@UpcomingJedinot in Centerton Arkansas I record their crimes and they refuse to charge them
@@UpcomingJedi usually, not unless it's made national news. Convictions? Even less so. Even if a DA is pushed to prosecute a cop, it's usually done half assed if that.
@@UpcomingJedi Once in a blue moon?
It's called qualified immunity.
He commited the worst crime in the eyes of police officers.
.......
He apparently ignored the cops, and therefore hurt their self-estem.
They pull out their tasers because they are cowards. plain and simple
I totally agree with you
I think it's even worse than that.
They saw an excuse to play with their toys, that's all.
Not cowardice - this is fun and games for them.
@@stickiedmin6508❤
Or lazy.
Or psychopaths
I could clearly understand him saying that he was deaf. It was the cops that had selective hearing.
Yep, if you don't immediately obey like a dog the why doesn't matter.
AND they continue to give verbal commands when he is not looking at their faces. Dude is recovering from being tased, kicked
I could also clearly see him signing he's deaf.
It wasn't so much that they had a hearing problem. It's that they're incredibly stupid.
This video shows how incredibly poorly trained the police are in the US!! And above all their obsession with ID cards
in the UK it take minimum two years training before becoming a full trained officer I've been told you also need a university degree before training. De-escalation isn't part of the San Marcos training manual
@@ljungis1 the lack of training and common sense is a disease that many police forces around the world are suffering right now.
This is not about training, this is about holding unlimited power and being immune to justice.
Their training is certainly questionable, but you can't train away stupidity.
Repeatedly giving verbal commands to someone after they tell you they are deaf is a sign of stupidity.
My oldest brother is deaf and this was always my parents biggest worry.
I worked at our state's deaf school. This fear is one that almost all the parents of our students fear. See this way too often.
The fact that one of the scariest things than can happen to your child or family member is to have an encounter with law enforcement is just so goddamn sad.
😢 My nephew too. Scares the crap out of me.
Mine too as I'm deaf (bilaterally) as my wife, mother, and many who know me do worry about me as I'm very active in many outdoor/recreational activities such as fishing, boating, hunting, as well as other things.
I have few friends in the law enforcement ranging from local PD, Sheriff, State and even on the "other side" of LEOs like Game Wardens, Marine Patrol and one good friend in USCG.
It's a sad reality that I have to "prepare" myself before venturing out of my place is to "be sharp" or "on toes" cuz you never know - ie get pulled over for whatever "excuse" that cops can conjure up.
What I have (still do) found is to know the "dynamics" of how things are operated based on location and go "extra step" like knowing the "rules." (AND the law too!!)
Too many times. I have "outwitted" those who fail to "listen/educated" by showing them the rules, proof, technology and most of all the "Holy Constitution."
At the same time, respected their position as LEOs (similar to LEOs "de-escalating situation" but in opposite which I have many times and that shocks them in a way and then all is good/easier.)
I'm a law abiding citizen and honest yet respectful but knowledgeable as well as VERY observant of my surroundings. 🤠🫡
Not all LEOs are "bad apples" (as it seems to be growing nowadays) but education does go a LONG ways for those who are "bad" yet still too much power or overstepping authority is NEVER a good thing anyway. 😒😬
@@Pelagic_Hunter1204 "Not all LEO's are bad apples"?? Would the good apples stop, detain and arrest bad apples if necessary, even using lethal force if need b,e to those bad apples that are breaking the law and unlawfully arresting citizens or worse? answer = 99.999% of the time, no they wouldn't = Conclusion, then they are not good apples themselves at all, but rotted by association and complicity..
I remember this one from a few years ago. This was cruel. “Why didn’t you listen!!” Because…he’s deaf…
These cops lord have mercy 😢
like telling a blind man to walk towards the light.
So qualified immunity? Those cops didn’t know he was deaf so…
🤦🏼
Except for that part where HE TOLD THEM HE WAS DEAF!
@@mr.dennis5503 Yet they continued to bark orders at him, how stupid can you be?
These psychopaths with guns and badges are the public's worst nightmare. The woos DA's who fail to prosecute are just as much a problem.
As a deaf man, I can relate to this poor guy's confusion and anger. Good on him for de-escalating. My trust in so called "authority figures" pretty much tanked as a result of the lockdown dictates.
The one guy that asked him what’s his name in asl should be fired for not stopping everything first.
"I'm deaf" and these absolute idiot tyrant bullies keep barking vocal orders to him and punish him for being deaf. Who was deaf here?
cause they are mindless thugs.
Cuz ya know, just shout louder 🙄
handcuffing a man who talks with his hands.
that will help with communication...
NOT.
that is really smart of them.
We obviously are not employing our brightest in law enforcement.
It is generally considered the equivalent of gagging a person, which is completely illegal.
in their defense, he was yelling. 🤔
@@ThomasNuxHE IS DEAF. HE CAN'T HEAR HIS OWN VOICE. HE IS BEING ATTACKED. Use your brain.
To add another level of sick stupidity, they were insisting on trying to handcuff a deaf person, even after they realized he was deaf... AND NEEDED HIS HANDS TO COMMUNICATE!!
What is the difference between law enforcement and felons? Qualified immunity.
The guy screams he's deaf 4 times, cops acknowledge it, and then continue to give verbal orders. 🤦♂️
Same energy as school when a foreign student says they don't speak English, so the teacher shouts as if that'll help. So dumb.
Their mouths disconnect from their brains or they can't leave the academy.
DUMMY COPS
It’s a show for the bodycams
@noctisocculta4820 I'm sorry don't go to a school if you can't at least speak a broken form of the language. I'm saying this regardless of languages involved
He says he's deaf and they still talk to him and order him to put his hands behind his back?!?! How the F are police recruits taught? Dumb people with a badge and a gun... that's insane!
I don't think giving verbal orders to a man you know is deaf is a training issue. It goes against common sense, and is an intelligence issue. The US Supreme Court has ruled that police departments and police academies are allowed to reject candidates based on IQ tests. Idiots are welcomed, while most normal people are rejected for being too smart.
Once I was climbing 30 feet up the side of a building, and the cop came up and yelled "COME DOWN OR I WILL LET THE DOG GO!" So I laughed and said "You've got a climbing dog? I'd kind of like to see that!" and then he pointed a gun at me (an unarmed teenager)
Yep.
They are trained to protect themselves at all costs....not you !!
WTF??? Tased, beaten and humiliated before any investigation for not being aware of his surroundings?? He’s deaf. He couldn’t hear, was afraid, was not resisting. Back to the living in a police state argument. Recruit and train more intelligent officers who can read a situation before needlessly rolling out excessive physical force
It’s angering and horrifying. Why electroshock a man who is in no way a threat??
When there's no consequences for breaking the law . .
The law enforcement training program should be sued for improper training
This is why We the People have NO LEGAL obligation to pay cops.
We the people are the ones paying them, but who is paying them to lie to us? I know I am not paying any law enforcement to lie to me!
@@terryavery9918 that's why We the People must STOP paying them. Cops also need to lose Qualified Immunity since it's been abused since it's creation in 1967. Cops need to get a second job to pay for being a cop.
@@terryavery9918 they have their own charities that give money to lobbying groups, usually ran by b the police unions
@@terryavery9918the police unions are pilfering the city and municipalities budget money to cover up for criminals disguised as cops!
No doubt this person is wondering what is this about
The guy writes his words down only to find out the OFFICERS CAN’T READ !!!
this is despicable. These cops assaulted an innocent man!
he is very clearly repeatedly saying I'm deaf, and he is also clearly asking the officers to write it down with his hands while he is on the floor, he must have been terrified
I'll bet the cops laughed about this for weeks
100 percent ,while having beers at the local pub and than driving home
There does seem to be a general delight in hurting people.
That's why they became cops in the first place.
Power hungry abusive assholes
@@randyfromthepeg4994 That's for real. Here in the Western,NY suburb where I live, the Chief was drinking at a party, drove and crashed. Then he tried to drive home. He was allowed to resign, but no charges. Imagine if a "regular guy" did that.
This is ridiculous, he was walking down the street they didn't even know if a crime was committed, so they were actually committing a crime
WTF??? Tased, beaten and humiliated before any investigation for not being aware of his surroundings?? He’s deaf. He couldn’t hear, was afraid, was not resisting. Back to the living in a police state argument. Recruit and train more intelligent officers who can read a situation before needlessly rolling out excessive physical force
FTP
EARNING THE HATE EVERY DAY
This is ridiculous. The man clearly indicates he is a deaf person and the stupid cops keep yelling at him. Why didn't they get out the pen and paper right away and have a conversation to sort out the incident as soon as they determined that the man was deaf? These guys are just stupid. This is why the average citizen wants no interaction with LEOs in our country.
I'm hearing impaired and similar happened to me. I was going over a low wall to the grocery store as a short cut. All the sudden a hand grabbed me and spun me around. He screamed at me why didnt you stop. The other one had his gun pointed at me. I said I didn't hear you and pulled my hair back so he could see my hearing aids. Scared the hell out of me. Seems I matched a robbery suspect. I was 17.
This police department is an embarrassment. Settlement was WAY too low.
The words "I am deaf" were very, very clear.. They just wanted to torture that man..
That officer that gave him the pad never once told his fellow officers to stop yelling at the man because he can't hear you.
The sad part is that he asked the guy in sign language ‘what your name’.
2 cops used their stun guns, one had caused a fatal car wreck previously, and was later terminated for multiple rules violations.
all should be fired, never employeed in law enforcement again, be charged and jailed at the very least for this DISGUSTING CRIME against this man.
Every one of these officers are probably chief of police at various departments across the country by now.
Zero accountability, as they can simply move on to another department.
And they still tried to handcuff the deaf man! What a bunch of idiots!
They can worry about alternative employment after a 10 year prison sentence.
@@josebrown5961sorry, but it was a deaf man.
Maybe you're right.....these Idiots would try to cuff a dead man
@@josebrown5961Uuhmm... Sorry, it was a deaf man.
Up next: Cop tases a blind woman for not looking him in the eyes while he’s talking to her.
Cops Tased a blind man whose walking stick was mistaken for a sword by some Karen. That was the UK though, but I'm sure similar has happened in the US.
Happens to autistic ppl too
Cop arrested a blind man walking down the sidewalk for his foldable stick being in his back pocked. It was long and very obviously a blind person's walking stick. She was driving by and "thought it was a gun". He showed her it wasn't but he wouldn't ID (no crime) so she just kidnapped him and put him in a cage for resisting. (a secondary charge when there was no first charge at all)
@@debitopia yeah, I think the video of that one is on Audit the Audit or Lackluster. Funnily enough that dude was on his way home from jury duty, too! Crazy stuff.
@@debitopia and he was on jury duty
bro people get more for just being detained, this dude was shot in the back with a tazer while having a disability, thats wild....
What mental gymnastics will be use to defend this one .
After repeatedly stating he's deaf, the cop finally gives him the notepad and says "Give me your name"... and you're still expecting him to hear you...
The one cop clearly knew some sign. The other two are morons. Just yell louder, he is deaf.
If he tells you he is deaf they think if they speak loudly and slowly he will understand.
@@SW-mc2zxnot always
This guys deaf wife refused to talk with police when they showed up at her location.
The call to police was from a Karen, and after the tasing Cops still had not identified a possible crime.
Tasers need to be banned. Officers prove time and again they are not capable of using them responsibly.
Banned? really? You would prefer the police's only response to someone with, for example, a baseball bat to be a pistol?
There needs to be a lot more training requirements to become a policeman in the first place, including "how to tell if you're dealing with someone who is deaf, you morons"
Then they could use guns instead?
@@StubbyandShifu I said that already, but apparently my comment got deleted.
I disagree a taser.Gives an officer a tool to use in a situation where it might be necessary to disable someone without having to pull a gun on them. However if an officer tases someone without good cause they should be treated as if they pulled a gun on someone without cause
This video made me sooo upset.!!! 😤 Any "normal" person can perceive the fact that he is hearing impaired.!!! Egregious use of force on this man.!! 💯
Currently dealing with this department now and why they feel it’s ok not to help run away minor children. I hate this department they are awful and don’t care about anyone. They treat people so bad
I definitely hate to hear you are dealing with that
Never deal with Hays County if you can avoid it. Sorry to hear about that happening to you.
Sadly, I think it's beyond obvious that this video is the rule for our police state.
@@WeThePeopleUniversity It’s a nice area to live in and first they scream is a spoiled child, does the child take “D” she has mental disorder and exact words doesn’t everybody these days?
Don't let cops near minor children.
What are the standards and training for police. Common sense and good judgment is not in the curriculum 👎
The exact opposite. They select for authoritarian and sociopathic qualities.
They actually have a maximum IQ. They don't want thoughtful sharp people. They want sociopathic attack dogs to keep the sheep in line and if some of those pesky rights are violated or someone winds up on a ventilator over walking down the street, well, that's just the price to pay in police state America. The smarter ones get forced out or quit. A very few, like We The People U and Matt Thornton, Are actually trying to speak out and bring awareness. But they are the unicorns.
Training? You mean police get training?
Even using gestures, they're still giving him contradictory commands.
I'm surprised he was not charged with resisting with violence for using his hands to talk. 🙄
Cops are such good, caring, kind individuals. NOT!!!
I think they used to be. In the early 1960s we read about Sally (Dick & Jane's little sister). When she got lost, the police officer helped her find her way home; today the social workers would be call and everyone in the family mandatorily traumatized.
1991 called and it wants it's joke back.
@@blastradius7193 that’s one year after I was born.
The "spat" he had with his wife was an argument in asl. Someone saw that and mistook it for aggression and called the most useless ppl they could.
Karren should have minded her own business.
She was terrified for her life, probably thought they were doing gang signs. 🙄
Cops are just way out of control. You cuff his hands,how is he gonna communicate. This is so crazy.
You know, if these cops were personally responsible for paying when they screw up like this they might act with a bit more intelligence.
I’m glad he won the settlement, but I’m sure the officers still have their jobs. Probably have been promoted in the ranks by now. When I had seen this before, I didn’t realize they had talked to his wife already and knew that at least SHE was deaf, and I imagine she probably told the cops that he was too.
Holy cow, I was not aware they had already talked to the wife. Common sense SHOULD have told them, then, that if he didn't respond to verbal commands, he's likely also deaf. I can't even with these people! 😡
What's worse is these tyrants still have the audacity to call themselves the good guys.
Its a rareity the police use common sense, do the right thing or even tell the truth.😢😢
there is a long moment where it's obvious they realize he's deaf.
and they are still trying to verbally order him to do shit he can't hear.
Well, ALL deaf people can read lips, dontcha know! 🙄
@@Doxymeister Thats why they keep yelling "LOOK AT HIM" as if he's gonna hear them and start looking at the officer who's giving command's lips. LOL
They give orders all the time they never intend the perp to hear which is why they yell over each other. They are trained to bark orders but don’t understand why they are giving them, not in any real sense.
They're shitting themselves and trying to come up with the cover up and their defense. They start throwing out the excuses, "He saw us, right?" So pathetic.
These cops are ridiculous. Dude can’t hear clearly. And all he did…was walk. OMG.
They try to take away his only means of communication by almost handcuffing him and useDespicable.
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
Any Single one of us could become disabled at anytime. Disability rights are human rights.
I wonder whether any disability rights group ever steps in in theses cases. Sue the departments to compel training on how to recognize and handle disability cases.
@@wdtaut5650 As a person with a disability whom has been the victim of two serious crimes that able bodied people pretended not to see for the most part, it's disheartening to know that my fellow citizens who are not disabled don't see themselves as disability rights activists when it matters. When the only person who will "help" you is a crook, and you get robbed, you get blamed for letting that person in your life as though you have no standards, when in fact what you don't have is community.
@@elizabetholiviaclark i did not mean that the rest of us have no part in trying to correct these situations. There are established, organized groups who purport to fight for disabled people. Where are they in these cases?
@@wdtaut5650I get what you're saying. You're asking about real organizations that help with civil rights for the disabled. Like AAPD, TASH, DIA, there's a lot of them but it's up to the disabled person to contact them, I think.
@@wdtaut5650I understand. You mean groups besides ACLU. Like AAPD, TASH, DIA, ect. Organizations for disabled. They need to be called in to train these tyrants & I doubt any PDs do that unless it's specifically part of a lawsuit settlement.
How is it that I could understand the deaf man better than the cops...smh
You have a thing called a brain and intelligent- the police don’t recruit people with these skills
As the farther of a deaf daughter. This was hard to watch.
Using on kids is good to? 😲 really important question !!!
You can tell by his voice that he is deaf if you ever heard deaf people try to speak.He was telling them he was deaf but they didn’t care
Exactly. Plus, a lot of people don't understand, a fight between deaf persons is going to get loud, often. That's because they can't hear how loud they are talking. It's natural to get a little louder even for hearing people, when you're excited and angry, imagine not being able to modulate your volume because you can't hear yourself. So, loud (between deaf folks) is not equal to violent--looking at you, San Marcus PD! 🤬
@@Doxymeister Deaf people that speak speak very badly and you can barely understand unless you actually know them and they are able to read your lips
It's the HIGH LEVEL of ignorance for me. 🙄🙄🙄 The man is CONTINUALLY saying he's deaf and these idiots are STILL shouting and giving commands. THEN had the audacity to say, he's not being compliant. 🙄Aye!
Cause they are mindless bullies to the core. They just get off on hurting people.
Being "non-compliant" is a cops green light to justify their actions to that.
“Did not want to comply”… the catch-all excuse. Sad.
What brilliant police work.
I can image that the last thing a deaf person wants to lose is the use of their hands too, they can’t even say “help” at that point and they’re trying to cuff him.
That actually brings up a good point, since cuffing him would restrict his first amendment right to "speak" since the only way for him to communicate is by hands
@@TribalMentality exactly. That’s why he laid on his hands when they tried to grab them.
Maybe he could file an additional lawsuit for this additional violation of his rights.
Once the police know you are Deaf and made sure no weapons they are to cuff in front so you can still communicate
This is so hard to watch
Can you imagine them stuffing a sock in your mouth and then duct taping it shut upon detainment? That's the equivalent.
The thought of police officers coming after me is terrifying. I'm vulnerable since I'm wheelchair bound. The statement of that police officer about tasing people who are vulnerable and weak is a reason to be afraid of police.
My town got busted a big scandal over targeting disabled ppl to put on probation and keep fraudulently violating them for the $$$ and jail them if they cant pay. It went deep. Many were investigated.. judges, sherriff, lawyers, DAs, officers, but nothing really happened except they switched probation for profit companies and had to pay a lawsuit. Sherriff was fired but for something completely different (selling vapes to inmates and abusing his wife)
Same here. Did you see the one where they dragged the paraplegic around by his hair because he "wouldn't" walk for them? They said "you can't drive a car if your legs don't work." His vehicle was very obviously outfitted so he could drive with no use of his legs.
A motor vehicle can most definitely be engineered to be operated and driven on the street legally with hand controls only. I personally was close friends with an individual who had his legs amputated below the knees shortly after birth due to serious birth defects that were unable to be treated medically. He was able to obtain a vehicle outfitted with hand controls which he operated quite easily and safely on the city streets.
@debitopia Wow, the cops response sounded like that of a 5 yr old. Are they even in touch with actual people?
How did people call because they heard an argument if the man if deaf and can't speak? Why can't people mind their business. As for the cops the man is mumbing sounds signing with his hands and they can't figure out he's deaf?! 😡 It seems unimaginable that cops can be this dumb.
they investigated them selves and Found that he should have listened and being deff is no excuse
This was actually heartbreaking to watch. I’m not deaf, but I am disabled. I feel terrible for this man. He deserves more money and those officers need disciplinary action and more training - ADA and sensitivity, at the least.
If they killed someone who is elderly, a pregnant woman’s baby, or a heart patient, they should be charged with murder.
And I say this as an avid LEO supporter. Do they even know what would happen if they tased someone with a pacemaker??
The cops didn't give him permission to be deaf! Maybe next time he'll ask if it's ok to be deaf in their presence!
They probably still have no idea they did something wrong.
They view it the same way as accidentally cutting someone off in traffic - mildly annoying at worst. Just awful, right?
They don't care, they'll have something to laugh about for awhile
DISGUSTING 😡
I'm Hard of Hearing in Texas, and I recall originally seeing this video and thinking "How can you comply if you don't know you are being commanded to do something?" I'm not even Deaf but I can't properly discern what is being said unless the speaker is in my line of sight. So much wrong with how this was handled... it is absurd.
Continuing to yell at someone after being informed they are deaf….. police are achieving levels of stupid that should not be possible…
a lot of blind people can still see a bit and a lot of people who are deaf can still hear a bit. also they are on a call for a verbal argument would tend to imply that it's not 100% hearing loss just some simple math.
@billboein Thr ability to MAKE NOISE does not imply the ability to HEAR. Notice that the man's vocal cords still work but his words are hard to distinguish because HE HIMSELF can't hear what he is saying. It's like talking to someone with headphones on. They are shouting and don't even know it.
That poor guy. I get so angry on his behalf every time I see this video!
End QA , make officers get Law Enforcement Insurance , so when they mess up they get sued , happens too much no more law enforcement for you !
"Turn around!!!" "Stand up!!!"
🤦🏻 They think if they SHOUT he will hear them! Even the Medic said “deep breath” as she removed the taser. Absolutely STUPID 👎
The application of the law can not discriminate. Hearing impaired citizens must be subject to the same rights violations as anyone else.
Oooh, I detect sarcasm. 😁
Lesson from officer: “a def man needs needs to listen to me! Just like a blind man needs to watch and learn. I don’t make the rules. I just enforce them!”😮
I doubt cops watch this stuff or read the comments cuz they know and don’t want to hear what the people actually think
Tampa cops just did the same thing to me 2 months ago . Being deaf is a crime in Florida according to the judge
The officers got paid vacation and then was promoted.
and some awards
@@randyfromthepeg4994 officers of the year.
That’s awful. Absolutely horrific.
It is my hope that any judgement this man receives is deducted from the department's budget and not the taxpayer.
Well that's exactly how it DOES'NT work. The taxpayers paid like they always do. There are no repercussions for the police.
I remember working as a photographer for a daily paper decades back. A SC trooper t-boned a deaf driver at an intersection, running the light. He said his sirens were on, but no lights. The driver was ticketed for failure to yield.
A cop in my town made a left turn on red, hit a paraplegic man in a wheelchair who was in the crosswalk and had a walk signal, and he wrote him a ticket for jaywalking even though the whole thing was on dash cam, just so he would look worse during the inevitable lawsuit.
This video makes me embarrassed to live in Texas. San Marcos is only 45 min away from me
I agree I live in San Antonio
@@debrasnow4261SAPD is pretty bad. You don't have to go to San Marcos to get abused.
its all over the USA
The man uses his hands to communicate and you want to cuff him. Stupid policing, with no compassion.
- On the ground.
- Im deaf.
- ON THE GROUND!
- Im deaf.
- ON THE GROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This country policing has no common sense
It's designed that way. Departments hire those that will comply and look the other way, not critical thinkers.
How many times did these clowns tell the man to listen. You can’t make this stuff up.
So unprofessional it cannot be explained, without making excuses.😢
Thank u 4 sharing! I never seen this either! Its outrageous how this is ok!! He wasnt doing ANYTHING wrong! Even if he seen them pull up, that doesn't mean its 4 him! Ugh disgusting! That officer SHOULD BE FIRED...but at very minimum, RETRAINED, at his own expense..not taxpayers!!
