Deaf Man Shot, Killed By Louisiana Deputy

Louisiana sheriff's deputy kill Deaf electrical engineer, detain the only witness and delete the video controversy on social media.

LINCOLN PARISH, LA -- Louisiana's sheriffs and deputies claim a Deaf man was shot and killed after he opened fire on an officer--but they destroyed the video taken by a witness who says they are lying. A storm of controversy is brewing in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana, after a police officer killed a Deaf electrical engineer this past week in broad daylight outside Simsboro High School in Lincoln Parish.

The man, Joshua Cloud, was a graduate of the University of Alabama’s School of Engineering. By all accounts, he was a happy, healthy, respectful, generous and kind human being. But by the official police statements, he shot at a police officer and was gunned down as a result. The only problem with the official story is that it does not match up with an eye witness accounts of the shooting.

One witness is calling Cloud’s death an act of “murder.” Quintin Crowe is a school security guard at Simsboro High. He said he was taking a smoke break when he heard a police taser being deployed. Crowe said he grabbed his camera and began recording. He observed a white male wrestling and fighting with an officer.

The man began asking the officer, shouting in fear, “What did I do?” Crowe said the officer deployed a K9 police dog on the man and said the man “busted a move” and he believed began to run in the opposite direction. It was at that instant that the shots rang out and Crowe said he saw the man fall, laying lifeless on the ground. Here’s Crowe’s first-hand account of what he saw:

Even though Crowe never once mentioned seeing the man with a gun, the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Department issued the following statement, saying not only did Cloud have a gun, but he shot the deputy first!

Sheriff Stone’s statements stand in stark contrast to the eyewitness account, as well as the character witness testimony of dozens of Cloud’s friends—many of whom now believe the police are covering up a murder... Read More at The Free Thought Project.

Deaf Waiter Sees 'World Of New Possibilities'

Deaf News: Although Noah Wimberly has proven himself to be a skillful waiter, he plans to retire soon from the food service industry.

LAFAYETTE, LA -- Read on to learn more about his drive and the next adventure on the horizon. Those who work closest with Noah Wimberly at Social Southern Table & Bar say that he is highly competitive, able to communicate better than most and has more personality in his little finger than most people have in their entire bodies.

Customers of the Lafayette restaurant request Wimberly as their server more than any other. They say it is Wimberly’s attentive service that impresses them. It is his smile they remember long after the meal. They call him brave, an inspiration.

Although Wimberly was born Deaf, he sees nothing brave about working hard to earn money, attend college and achieve independence. He’s just living his life the best way he knows how.

Jody Ferguson, a partner of Social Southern Table & Bar and the former franchise owner for Acadiana’s Casa Ole locations, remembers well when his manager of the Opelousas Casa Ole location suggested Wimberly, now 28, try his hand at waiting tables.

He told Ferguson that Wimberly, who was about 19 at the time, had worked every other position beginning as a busboy and dishwasher and working his way up to a line cook and even temporary head chef. He first worked at the Lafayette location of Casa Ole, then helped to open the Opelousas location.

“I’ve got to be honest,” Ferguson said. “I was very hesitant. I was very nervous. I didn’t want to set him up for failure. I was nervous in how he would handle it and how others would respond to him.”

But Wimberly’s manager, Armando Perry, didn’t give up.

“I just believe there is nothing that Noah can’t do,” Perry said. “He’s one of those people that once he’s got something in his mind, he’s going to accomplish it. I was just certain that he would just get out there and do well. Oddly enough, I had no doubt that he would be a great server.” ...
