Darnella Frazier, who filmed cops kneel on George Floyd’s neck, revisited the emotional scene the next day. Thousands of protesters gathered around the intersection where Floyd pleaded for his life as he was pinned to the ground, dying just hours later in the hospital. The police say they were responding to a report of forgery in progress and claim that Floyd physically resisted arrest. Four of the officers involved have been fired, but Floyd’s family is calling for their arrests.

Teen Loses Cochlear Implant After Being Tased

Cochlear Implant helps people hear? A Tennessee teen loses cochlear implant after being tased who failed to hear the officer’s command.

LAFOLLETTE, Tennessee -- A Deaf teenager tased by a sheriff’s deputy because he couldn’t hear the officer’s command to stop. To make matter’s worse, when he fell, his expensive cochlear implant was lost. The teen was released when they realized there had been a mistake.

The young Campbell County man wears a cochlear implant. It’s a complex electronic device that can help to provide a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly Deaf or severely hard of hearing.

His device wasn’t working 11 days ago, following an unfortunate incident in which the young man couldn’t communicate with sheriff’s deputies who were responding to an emergency call in Lafollette.

19-year-old Brett Elkins is Deaf and he is a graduate of the Tennessee School for the Deaf.

His mother showed us where Brett’s cochlear implant was located; the surgical scar is behind his right ear, about the size of a quarter.

But you don’t see the device, that’s because it was lost when Elkins was tased and fell to the ground incapacitated on October 11.

Elkins had gone to a friend’s house to use their phone to have his mother pick him up. As he was leaving the house, he didn’t know that Campbell County deputies had been called there for a domestic dispute between Brett’s friends.

"Jamie Wilhoit, Elkins’ mother, saying, “He was walking, he felt a shock, his arms fell beside him, and he fell over. He assumed it was his cochlear, that it had malfunctioned, that was the first thing he thought. He was scared and crying. His cochlear implant had died, the batteries weren’t working, it wasn’t charged.”

Elkins’ implant was new, it came from TennCare. He said somehow it fell off after being tased.

He and his mother went back to look for it, but it hasn’t been found.

We received a copy of the sheriff’s report, and deputies didn’t know Brett was Deaf when he failed to respond to their commands.

It states he was released once determined he had nothing to do with the domestic disturbance. Deputies also called an ambulance to check him out, however, there is no reference to the implant.

"Connie Hull, Elkins’ grandmother, saying, “He got the cochlear three weeks ago. It was $8,000, they just don’t hand those out left and right.”

Brett showed us his back where several prongs from the taser gun left welts after suffering a five second shock, according to the incident report.

His mother telling us that Elkins would like an apology and for them to replace his cochlear implant.

"A ranking officer from the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office called Elkins’ mother and said, “Sheriff Goins has talked to with our insurance provider and they are willing to pay for Brett’s implant.”

Elkins and his mother were overwhelmed.

“Wow! Oh my God, oh, they cared, they cared.”

Jamie Wilhoit – Elkins’ mother.

It will take a few weeks before Elkins’ fitted with a new cochlear device.

Sheriff Robbie Goins telling us that domestic violence calls are the most danger his deputies face, and they have to make split second judgement calls with the information they have during the situation.

He also said his deputies acted reasonably under the circumstances when they first confronted Elkins. Sheriff Goins is pleased to learn that Elkins and his family are happy with the resolution.

Deaf Protesters Complains of Police Brutality

The police took Deaf protesters to the streets of India.

PUNE, India -- Deaf community in Maharashtra has had enough. Pradeep More General Secretary of State Level Association of the Deaf passionately voices the demands of the community.

The Pune Police on Monday resorted to lathi-charge to disperse a crowd of Deaf students who were staging a demonstration in Pune, resulting in 35 of the students getting injured in the incident. The cops also detained around 170 activists working for the Maharashtra Deaf Association but later released them.

Nearly 11,000 hearing-impaired youths from across Maharashtra had gathered outside the Social Welfare Commissionerate in Pune near the police commissioner’s office, pressing for their long-standing demands. Among other things, the students were demanding the right to quality education, prevention of fraudulent distribution of disability certificates to able-bodied individuals and provision of trained interpreters for deaf students, reports said.

The police action against the protesters, most of whom were students, was widely criticised by opposition political parties, with many slamming the BJP government for the state of affairs. Meanwhile, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered the Pune police commissioner to submit a detailed report on the matter by Tuesday morning, as per reports.

The Pune Police had said that it had decided not to proceed with the FIR process against the protesters and hence no FIR was filed. On the other hand, the cops have reportedly claimed that around 7 to 8 policemen had also suffered injuries during the protest... Read More: Times Now News.

Deaf In America - Black And Deaf

Deaf, Black and a Victim of Police Brutality in America.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- AJ+ channel on YouTube share the video of Pearl Pearson, is a Deaf, Black man who survived a brutal beating by Oklahoma Highway Patrol in 2014. Not only were the troopers cleared of wrongdoing, but Pearl was also charged with resisting arrest. This is his story with english subtitles.

Three years later, Magdiel Sanchez was shot to death in his front yard in the same city. Though neighbors told officers that Magdiel was Deaf and couldn't hear their commands, they still shot him five times. The officers were cleared of wrongdoing, and the district attorney instead filed charges against the victim's family.

Note: When "deaf" is capitalized as "Deaf ," it's referencing the Deaf community, an important and empowering distinction to those in the community.

Police Pepper Sprays Deaf Man

Watch raw footage of the Paterson police using mace and for other tactics as they arrested a man many in the crowd told them was Deaf.

PATERSON, NJ -- Police can be seen in a video using pepper spray on an apparently Deaf man, forcing his head down during the process.

Now the mayor and the county prosecutor are looking into whether the police took the proper steps during the arrest, after the video has gone viral.

Police were on Godwin Avenue making a traffic stop that resulted in a drug arrest, law enforcement sources told NorthJersey.com. The website cited law enforcement sources identifying the man arrested as Raaseon Adams, who was not involved in the drug arrest, but was in the area at the time.

The video was taken by a Facebook user who identified himself as Moet Spa, and who gave New Jersey 101.5 permission to post a copy with profanity edited out.

In the video, the street can be seen jammed with cars and a moving truck, with a man, Adams banging on the trunk of a car before approaching the officers. Adams, who appears in the video unable to speak clearly, approached the officers with one asking "can I help you?" People in the area can be heard telling the officers that Adams is Deaf. Several videos on Adams' Facebook page show him communicating strictly through sign language or by typing in the comment section.

A woman can be seen approaching Adams and telling him "you bugging" as she tries to move him away from the police and calm in down, in order to avoid having him arrested. One officer yells at him: "Yo, walk away," as Adams approaches." A minute later, the same officer appears to be laughing as Adams makes groaning noises and yells incoherently.

Eventually, Adams can be seen walking away and toward a police vehicle when three officers sweep into view and attempt to arrest him. It's not clear in the video what he did immediately prior to that moment.

Adams appears worked up and is shouting, and eventually goes down on the sidewalk with several officers around him. Despite pleas from the crowd not to mace him, and telling Adams to relax, an officer can be seen appearing to spray him at least once while Adams is on the ground and seems to be at least partially restrained.

Shortly after, with two officers appear to be trying to pick Adams off the ground, when he and the two officers move sharply back down; it appears Adams' head may bang the sidewalk with the cops' hands on the back of his head. As one officer tries to circle around, another still holding Adams hits him in the back of his head with his elbow or forearm while yelling something - possibly "give me your arm" or "give me your eyes."

At points during the struggle, Adams appears to be pointing to his leg while trying to say something. Several people in the crowd say he has a bad leg.

As the incident continues the crowd also becomes louder and appears to grow. At one point what looks like a glass object is thrown near the officers and can be heard shattering.

Eventually, Adams is handcuffed and led away by police.

One officer can be heard telling the person recording the incident that there's "no need for this," and that the man behind the camera "should have controlled this."

Mayor Andre Sayegh told NorthJersey that since learning of the incident and the video he has been in contact with "numerous community leaders" ensuring them that an independent investigation would be launched. He was expected to hold a meeting with community leaders on Monday and did not return a call or email seeking comment from New Jersey 101.5.

Chief Troy Oswald told the website that his officers exercised "great restraint," but said the incident would be investigated.

Public Safety Director Jerry Speziale told New Jersey 101.5 that the matter had been referred to the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office. Chief Assistant Prosecutor Mary Catherine Ryan confirmed that the incident had been sent to the prosecutor's office, but said any questions about the status of the officers should be directed to the police department.

NorthJersey.com said law enforcement sources confirmed Adams was charged with resisting arrest. The names of the officers involved have not been released, but the website said all are still on duty as the investigation continues.

Deaf Man Shot, Killed By Oklahoma City Police

Oklahoman Deaf man holding pipe fatally shot by corrupt police officer.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- KOCO: A Deaf man is dead and the Oklahoma City police officer who shot him is on leave following an incident on the southeast side.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

Authorities said Tuesday night’s officer-involved shooting near Southeast 57th Street and South Shields Boulevard started with a hit-and-run accident. It quickly escalated to a shooting right up the street.

-- Protest For Deaf Man Who Was Shot By Police

The suspect, 35-year-old Magdiel Sanchez, was shot and killed by a police officer outside his parents’ home after he approached officers while armed with a pipe. His neighbors said Sanchez was Deaf and nonverbal.

“He had this in his right hand and was holding it up,” Capt. Bo Mathews said.

Sanchez’s father left the scene of a crash and drove to the home, police said. When officers arrived, Sanchez confronted the officers.

“As Mr. Sanchez came off the porch, he started advancing to the second officer,” Mathews said. “As he started going toward these officers with a pipe in his hand, the officers discharged their weapons.”

One officer fired a stun gun while the other used his gun, hitting and killing Sanchez.

Cellphone video from a neighbor shows the moments directly after Sanchez was shot and officers rendered aid. Neighbor Julio Rayos said he screamed at officers that Sanchez was Deaf and believed he might have been confused.

“They killed an innocent man,” Rayos said. “He was never aggressive to nobody. He was a real nice guy. I don’t think he deserved to die like that.”

The officer who used the gun is now on paid administrative leave. The district attorney will determine if the shooting was justified.

Deaf Man Parked Illegally, Slapped Officer

San Diego Police respond to use of force with mace and taser on Deaf man over a parking ticket.

SAN DIEGO, California -- San Diego Police are responding to allegations that they used excessive force on a Deaf man after he got upset over a traffic ticket.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

It happened Monday afternoon on 5th Avenue in Hillcrest. The man, identified by SDPD as 48-year-old Jeffrey Robinson of Los Angeles, stopped in the resale shop, Flashbacks, to inquire about selling shoes.

His car was parked illegally in a 20-minute commercial loading zone on 5th Ave. near University Ave. The employees in the store say he was only parked there a few minutes when a parking enforcement officer showed up.

"He couldn't speak, so he was communicating via a legal pad we had, as he was writing something to ask us, he saw that he was going to get a ticket," said Tiara Arreloa.

Arreloa and a couple other witnesses say Robinson was using sign language to try to communicate with the parking officer when she pepper sprayed him.

"He wasn't touching her, his hands were just here. He was trying to talk to her," insisted Arreola.

SDPD Lt. Scott Wahl says the photos making the rounds on social media don't tell the whole story.

"There's a lot more going on then maybe the small angle that they see," said Wahl.

Wahl says according to the parking officer and three separate witnesses, Robinson ran towards the officer in an aggressive manner.

"He ended up slapping the parking enforcement officer's hand away as she put the ticket onto the windshield of his car. As she was backing away from him, he crumpled up the ticket and threw it at her, bounced it off of her chest," said Wahl.

He says Robinson pounded on the window of the officer's car and continued advancing toward her. He says she deployed pepper spray after he refused repeated orders to comply.

"Parking enforcement officers don't have to wait until they're punched in the face to protect themselves against somebody who is starting to demonstrate this type of behavior," said Wahl, who pointed out that parking attendants are not sworn officers.

"You gotta remember our parking enforcement officers are not police officers, they don't have bullet proof vests, they don't carry guns, they're not trained like a police officer is," said Wahl.

A day after her Deaf son Connell Crooms was hospitalized after being beaten and arrested by Jacksonville Sheriff's Office during a protest in Hemming Park, his mother spoke at a rally Saturday in front of the Duval County Courthouse in Jacksonville, Florida.

JACKSONVILLE, Florida -- About 200 rally outside Duval courthouse in support of protesters arrested Friday night. Chanting “Drop the Charges” and “Free the Hemming Park 5,” about 200 people demanded the immediate release Saturday of a Deaf man and elderly war veteran bloodied by Jacksonville police who arrested them along with three other demonstrators when violence erupted Friday night during a protest at Hemming Park.

Family, friends and fellow activists from the Jacksonville Progressive Coalition were among the crowd gathered on the steps of the Duval County Courthouse to demonstrate, and to call for an independent and transparent investigation into whether Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office personnel used excessive force.

Tears streaming down her cheeks and as she gasped for breath from a portable oxygen tank, Feliciaia Crooms appeared near collapse as she said police severely beat her Deaf son, Connell Crooms, then wouldn’t allow her to see him either at the hospital or later at the Duval County jail after arresting him.

“He is not a troublemaker by any means,” Crooms said of her son, whom she and others described as a good person as well as a passionate but peaceful activist.

“The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office should not be allowed to get away with this type of behavior … I do not wish for any harm to come to my son at the hands of JSO. It’s not right,” she said.

She and the other demonstrators also called on the Sheriff’s Office to arrest a counter-protester, identified as Gary Snow, whom they accused of being a provocateur. They said he not only provoked Friday’s violence, but also has attempted to disrupt previous protests they’ve held against President Donald Trump.

Sheriff’s Office officials couldn’t be reached for comment Saturday about the accusation they used excessive force and ignored the counter-protesters.

Snow later told the Times-Union he merely was exercising his right to freedom of speech. He characterized the protesters’ allegations against him as lies, and denied inciting the violence. Although not at Saturday’s rally in person, Snow acknowledged that he’s attended past coalition demonstrations as a counter-protester and said he’ll will continue to do so because that is his right under the U.S. Constitution.

Arrested Friday night along with Connell Aubrey Crooms, 26, of Jacksonville; were protest organizer David Marlow Schneider, 27, also of Jacksonville; Christina Elizabeth Kittle, 27, of Middleburg; William “Willie” Thomas Wilder, 74, of Jacksonville; Thomas Craig Beckham, 26, of Hilliard; and Robert Gordon Sheffield Jr., 67, of Jacksonville...

Police Shoot, Kill Deaf Man After Order To Stop

Mardan Police shoot Deaf man dead for ignoring spoken order to stop at checkpoint in Pakistan.

MARDAN, Pakistan -- Police shot dead a vendor it had mistaken for a suicide bomber in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s (K-P) Mardan district on Thursday.

The vendor riding a cycle did not respond to police calls to stop at judicial complex check post, Deputy Superintendent Police (DSP) Mumtaz Khan told journalists.

According to local people, the vendor was Deaf and had been selling clothes in the area for the last 15 years to run his household. He was shifted to Sheeran Khota where he will be buried.

Locals protested outside the Mardan Press Club and raised slogans against, what they called, police brutality, demanding that a case of murder be registered against the responsible personnel.

When the bomb disposal squad officials checked the bike’s carrier, they found nothing except bundles of clothes that the vendor was selling in the district, the DSP added.

The deceased, identified as Olas Khan was taken to Mardan medical complex where he succumbed to his injuries.

On February 3, a 27-year-old man was shot dead by police firing in Islamabad after he allegedly did not stop when a police official signaled him to.

Police and other law enforcement agencies have been on high alert since the recent wave of terrorism in the country that claimed more than 100 lives.

Deaf Drug Dealer & User Slain in Philippines

RAW VIDEO: Deaf Filipino man gunned down while setting in the corner on Manila street.

MANILA, Philippines -- The gruesome scenes of alleged drug dealer found shot dead in Manila on Friday are growing increasingly common as police wage a bloody war on narcotics.

A Deaf drug dealer was left for dead after being shot by a plain-clothes police officer, his bullet ridden body slumped face down in a dimly lit corner on the Manila street, soaked in his own pool of blood dripping onto the concrete pavement. Death toll rises as Philippines intensifies war on drugs.

Since June 30, when President Rodrigo Duterte took power and launched his war against drug traffickers and users, the police have reported over 3,000 drug-related killings, including 1,105 people killed in police operations up to Sept, 16.

Police revised that number down from 3,541, as reported earlier by the Philippine police chief Ronald Bato.

Deaf Man Beaten, Tasered and Choked by Police

California Deaf man beaten, tasered and choked by police for not understanding commands awarded $55,000 settlement.

LOS ANGELES -- PINAC News: After mistaking a Deaf man for a thief, beating him, tasering him and choking him because he was unable to understand their commands, the Hawthorne Police Department in southwest Los Angeles has settled a lawsuit for $55,000. The settlement was approved by the City Council on Tuesday in California.

The Deaf man identified as Jonathan Meister and co-plaintiff Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness Inc. will receive the settlement on the basis of civil rights violations under the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act.

Meister was at a friends house in February 2013 gathering items from his vehicle when a neighbor called police thinking he was a car thief, according to NBC Los Angeles.

Although there were four officers that responded to the call, Officers Jeffrey Salmon and Jeffrey Tysl were identified as the aggressors.

Once on scene, they yelled out to Meister and he in return motioned that he was Deaf.

The officers motioned for Meister to come towards them, which he did, but then they grabbed his wrists and placed his hands behind his back – a very uncomfortable position for Meister given the fact that he is Deaf and uses his hands to speak.

The lawsuit, which can be read here, describes how officers Salmon and Tysl got close to Meister and roughed him up. Amidst the miscommunication, Meister ran away from the officers who gave chase, only to catch him, fight with him more and taser him.

The officers pushed Meister up against the wall. Officer Salmon put Meister in a choke hold and subsequently kneed him twice in the abdomen.

Officer Tysl then punched Meister in the face repeatedly.

That was when Salmon shot Meister with a Taser X-26 which brought Meister careening to the ground. Officers kicked and elbowed Meister repeatedly while another officer shocked him a second time with the taser.

After a second choke hold and third Taser shock, Meister lost consciousness.

According to the suit, the officers, “shot taser darts into Mr. Meister, administered a number of painful electric shocks, struck him with fists and feet, and forcibly took him to the ground.”

“They ended up grabbing his arms and turning him around, and if you do that to a deaf person, it’s like gagging them. It would be like if I put my hand over your mouth if you try to tell me something,” says Meister’s lawyer John Burton.

Meister was arrested, taken to the hospital, and then into custody at the county jail, but officials dropped the charges at the jail due to the circumstances.

The suit claims Meister suffered, “extreme physical pain and suffering, humiliation, hardship, anxiety, and indignity, and severe mental and emotional anguish pain.”

Meister is a graduate of the University of Ohio and holds a Masters degree in Architecture. In a recollection of events, Meister’s wrote:

“I didn’t mean to resist — it’s ultimately my responsibility. But, with claustrophobia, logic gets pushed down a bit! I did not mean to resist, only to put space between myself and the officers so I could communicate.”

Per the settlement, the Hawthorne Police Department has pledged to change its communication and use of force policies regarding Deaf civilians. The new policy includes providing qualified interpreters to jailed deaf suspects, a booking video and transcript to describe the arrest process, and a video or TTY phone.

Just a few months ago in Charlotte, NC a Deaf man was shot and killed by a state highway patrol officer. The man lead officers on a brief high speed chase. When the chase came to an end, the Deaf man exited his vehicle charging at the officer on foot who in return fatally shot the man after repeated verbal commands to stop.

The North Carolina Highway Patrol officer has not yet been charged with a crime because the investigation is still pending.
