A traffic stop turns on commands the driver cannot hear. He points to the hearing aids in both ears and signs with his hands up. The officer reads the signing as reaching, warns he will be tased, and deploys the taser. The clip says Anthony Lewis, a deaf interpreter,...

The dept didn’t pay $8.7 million the taxpayers paid that settlement. As soon as it comes out of the cops pensions this shit will stop over night.

That was quite a choice. Tasing him in the face while both hands are in sight and he's signing to you. Officer should be in prison, and the money should be paid personally by him

The hands were up. It is obvious from the video that the man is rattled and is doing his best to comply. There is no need to recognize disability here. There is only the need to recognize the body language of confusion and fear. This man deserves every cent of his settlement.

Officers should be required to understand every single law they are sworn to uphold before being given a badge and a gun. I would be fired from my job if I was this incompetent.

Hands up and pointing at the hearing aids is about as clear as it gets. Good cops slow down when something doesn't add up, and taxpayers end up footing the $8.7m when they don't 🤦‍♂️

By police department paid you mean tax payer money. End qualified immunity and make police carry their own liability insurance and allow us to sue them. How many trillions have been shelled out because of police abuse, that's actually our own money?

As the mother of a deaf, adult son, this scenario is one of my greatest fears for him. When he got his first set of license plates I had them encoded to show law enforcement he is deaf. I did the same with his driver’s license.

Normally I'm pro police, but I think the guy was visibly scared and deaf. Not saying the officer was wrong, but he should be trained to recognize these signs.

That cop is a MORON and should NEVER be allowed to work so much as a convenience store security guard.

Obviously officers should be required to detect disabilities before tasing people 🤦🏼‍♂️ Nah police officers should just be able to walk up and deploy a taser on every special needs person they come across, sounds brilliant…

Its AI. Why were there wires coming from, or going to the steering wheel? There is no way this happened. If it did, the cop needs to pay, and ride a desk answering phones.

Nothing about what he did deserved being tased even if an idiot police officer didn't understand. Treating traffic stops like a raid with probable cause is why a lot of these clowns don't deserve a badge.

That’s a crime, why don’t the Police Department didn’t accommodate his disability? That’s against the bill called ADA! They need to hire Police interpreters and Mental Health Specialist Policemen! That is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. They didn’t properly accommodate, That’s against ADA ( Americans with Disabilities Act)

This is not real, and I assume it's AI. How was there a tazer string coming from the steering wheel? Also, there is no record of this case in news reporting's, court records, and police statements. This is propaganda to enforce the idea that police are bad and racists.

I will never succeed in believing that badge wearing, escalating tyrants truly care about civilians or protecting their rights, let alone upholding them. I understand why they are hired > authority are policy earnings, and the earnings from citizens out # criminals. I smell corruption.

As an Officer you must be on your top game if you are really there to serve and protect. If you cant be bothered with that then you are doing the opposite. It’s not easy. Trust me I know. That’s why that occupation is something I realized I didn’t want.

Occasionally the police make the wrong call. Considering they fear for their life every minute while on duty, and are attacked constantly both verbally and physically- it happens. Unfortunate, but stop vilifying the blue!

They don’t need to be able to spot a disability but they do need to be able to spot a threat. A man trembling with his hands up and informing you , the only way he can, he is compliant….he’s not a threat. Ray Charles could see he wasn’t a threat.

A teen who was assaulted and slammed by a Warren police officer during booking has filed a $50 million lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed this week by Fieger Law. Matthew Rodriguez, 48, an officer with 14 years on the force, was charged Friday with assault and battery charges. Warren police announced Monday that he had been fired According to the lawsuit, the teen suffered physical and mental damage due to excessive force, and the city of Warren failed to properly train the officer. "Officer Matthew, with the specific intent to intimidate and/or harass Plaintiff, as a result of his race and/or ethnicity, caused physical contact with Plaintiff by striking him in the head and/or face with a fist and pulling him off the ground by his hair," the lawsuit reads. The lawsuit also says that the two other officers in the video failed to intervene and help the teen. “This is one of the most flagrant cases of police misconduct I’ve seen in my entire career as a trial attorney. The sheer violence and disregard for human life that these three officers showed is despicable and cannot be tolerated," said James Harrington of Fieger Law. The incident happened early this week at the Warren police department. The video shows the officer punching and grabbing the 19-year-old by his locs before slamming & launching him into his cell. Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer says an investigation was launched after the two officers in the video stepped up and told a supervisor about the incident. One officer was telling Rodriguez "That's enough" multiple times in an attempt to make the officer stop, Dwyer said. At first, they did not know why the officer was attacking him. Within a week, the officer was arrested, charged, and put on unpaid administrative leave, said Dwyer. The officer in the video also was out of policy and was not wearing bodycam. The officer has a lengthy history of alleged accessive force. He currently has two pending lawsuits.

Police catch up with a hit and run suspect waiting at McDonald's in the drive thru. From burgers to jail in the blink of an eye. ​ Kent Police Department officers located a Cadillac Escalade tied to a recent hit-and-run. The driver, identified as Justin, was spotted ordering food at a McDonald's drive-thru. Officers instructed him to park the vehicle so they could conduct an investigation. While Justin initially complied and exited the SUV, the interaction quickly escalated. ​Justin repeatedly ignored commands to keep his hands out of his pockets and attempted to walk away from officers, claiming his son was inside the restaurant. After being informed he was under arrest for obstruction, Justin pulled away as an officer attempted to secure his arms. ​Despite multiple warnings that he would be tased, Justin continued to resist. Officers took him down to the pavement with some questionable strikes to gain compliance before successfully securing him in handcuffs. ​Following the arrest, Justin was asked if he would take a field sobriety test and he declined. He was informed that a warrant was going to be issued to take a blood sample. He was subsequently transported and booked into the Kent Jail. ​Justin faces multiple charges, including: ​Driving Under the Influence (DUI) ​Resisting Arrest ​Obstruction of a Law Enforcement Officer ​Following his booking, officers did get the search warrant to obtain a blood sample and determine his exact blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) at the time of the incident was above the legal limit.

This dude unloads on cop in a who is in the right type situation. We are in Adam's county PA where a Law Enforcement Ranger pulls over a man because he is saying he could not see his tag. By the officers own admission he was able to see the tag as he got closer but proceeded with the stop. As per usual the officer asks for ID and the man in truck went to work on this officer telling him this is an illegal stop as no crime has been committed so he is not required to provide ID. Through out the interaction he asks the officer if he is free to go and the officer doubles down on detainment. However at the same time when asked the officer was not able to articulate a crime. The man also asked for a sergeant and the officer never compiled by getting a supervisor on scene which honestly would have been the best move. There are two ways to look at this interaction. The eyes of the officer: The officer calmly maintains that the traffic stop is entirely lawful. In the United States, law enforcement needs reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop. An obscured license plate or illegally dark window tint satisfies that standard in almost every jurisdiction. Furthermore, once a lawful traffic stop is initiated, a driver is legally required to produce a valid driver's license, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration. The driver's perspective: The driver claims that his tags are legit and the officer was able to see that when he ran them. He argues that because the ranger claimed at first he could not see the tags but now he can as he approached the vehicle. Since the officer admitted he can now see the tags and there is no problem with the tags, the initial stop was "erroneous" and constitutes an illegal search and seizure. He also details a personal grievance with local law enforcement, claiming a local district attorney and police officers have been "terrorizing" him. What is your take on this stop? Was this a case of an officer error where with the cop trying to save face by digging for a reason for the stop, or was this a legal stop and this officer deserves praise for staying calm while dealing with this man's outbursts? Share your thoughts below.

Cop gets caught lying in real time. Tried moving the goal posts to justify his actions. ​We are in Midland Texas where Midland Police Department ​Officer Gill pulls the driver over under the absolute certainty that he saw the driver holding a phone in his hand. The driver immediately points to his dashboard, showing the phone is securely mounted. Left with nowhere to hide, Officer Gill is forced to admit his mistake on camera, stating, "I stand corrected." ​Under the Fourth Amendment, once the officer realizes the initial reason for the stop was invalid, the driver should be free to go. Instead, Officer Gill pivots immediately. Determined to salvage the stop and force the driver to identify, he suddenly claims the driver was speeding. ​When the driver presses him for proof—asking if he was clocked on radar or paced—Officer Gill admits he has no data. Instead, he claims he "visually estimated" that the truck was going exactly "10% over the speed limit." Mind you, the officer was parked at a complete standstill. The driver calls out the absurdity, pointing out that his speed was a cautious 16 mph in a 20/25 (30 was the confirmed limit) mph zone. ​Recognizing that the officer is fishing, the driver firmly refuses to hand over his driver's license. He rightly argues that because the original cause was a mistake and the secondary cause is completely fabricated, the officer lacks the reasonable articulable suspicion required by law to demand identification. He demands a supervisor. ​Sergeant Wilson (Badge #330) arrives on the scene and initially tries to back up his officer with a classic legal bluff: claiming that the traffic code allows police to pull anyone over just to check for a driver's license. The driver holds his ground, refusing to be intimidated. ​Realizing the driver knows the law, won't back down, and that Officer Gill’s shifting allegations wouldn't hold up for a second in court, Sgt. Wilson quickly de-escalates and tells the driver he is free to go—without ever getting his ID. ​Know your rights, keep your cool, and always roll recording. What do you think about how this driver handled the shifting goalposts? I will say that while the Midland police did a terrible job due to their lack of understanding of the law, I have seen these types of situations get much worse. Officers threatening arrest and pulling people from cars. These guys never once did any of that, so perhaps there is hope in Midland.

Midland cop caught fishing for violations just to get his hands on the driver's ID. The driver in this traffic stop out of Midland, Texas, put on a clinic with regards to knowing your rights when the "reasonable suspicion" starts to shift mid-conversation. ​ Officer Gilpin initially pulls the driver over claiming he was holding his phone. The driver immediately points to the dashboard mount. The phone wasn’t in his hand; it was secured. ​ Once the phone excuse fell through, the officer pivoted, claiming the driver was speeding. The driver’s response? He was doing 16 mph in a 25 mph zone. ​ When challenged, Gilpin admitted he didn't use radar and wasn't pacing the vehicle—he was sitting still. He claimed he knew the driver was speeding based on "visual interpretation" alone. The driver demanded a supervisor which also does not seem know the law as he also wanted the ID just because he asked. Meanwhile Texas is not id on demand state. ​ Because the initial reason for the stop was proven false and the second reason lacked any objective evidence, the driver refused to hand over his ID, citing his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable seizure. After this footage went viral, the Midland Police Department conducted an internal review. They concluded the officer’s conduct didn't meet department standards, and the City Manager later confirmed that the officer faced disciplinary action. ​When you know the law and have the footage to back it up, "visual interpretations" don't hold much weight in the face of the facts.

Officers arrest a man that is deaf and with a disability claiming he was resisting their verbal commands. The corruption runs deep with this one. Tyron McAlpin—a 34-year-old completely deaf man living with cerebral palsy—was walking home from a convenience store when he was suddenly intercepted by the Phoenix Police Department. ​Officers were responding to a 911 call regarding a minor disturbance across the street. A bystander mistakenly pointed out McAlpin, who had absolutely no involvement in the incident they were called out for. So yes they have the wrong man as the person they were called out for was white. ​Because McAlpin is deaf, he could not hear the verbal commands being shouted from the windows of the approaching police cruiser. Within seconds of arriving, officers exited the vehicle and immediately put hands on him. There was a struggle that ensued became McAlpin had no idea what was going on due to his condition. If the conduct from the officers was not bad enough during the struggle, the corruption continued. ​The subsequent police paperwork heavily distorted the reality of the encounter: ​Omission of Disabilities: In their official report, the responding officers completely omitted the fact that McAlpin was deaf and disabled. ​The "Stolen Phone" Falsehood: Officers claimed in their narrative that McAlpin was carrying a stolen phone. In reality, the phone belonged entirely to McAlpin. He had been using it immediately prior to the encounter to communicate via sign language on a video call with a woman that helps him. ​Survival Instinct vs. Aggression: The report claimed McAlpin took a "fighting stance." Defense attorneys emphasized that any physical struggle from McAlpin was a basic, defensive survival instinct from being suddenly and ambushed by strangers he could not hear. ​Instead of being recognized as a victim of a false accusation and the fact that he was the wrong guy, McAlpin was booked on felony charges of resisting arrest and aggravated assault on law enforcement. ​ Unable to afford a $6,500 cash bail, McAlpin spent nearly a month in a Maricopa County jail cell. Because jail staff failed to provide an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, he was kept in near-total isolation, unable to communicate with staff, his family, or his defense team. ​Following the public release of the bodycam footage, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office officially dismissed all criminal charges against him. ​The internal police investigation resulted in mere 24-hour unpaid suspensions for the three officers involved, a move heavily criticized by civil rights advocates. Two tier justice strikes again! ​McAlpin's legal team filed a $3.5 million federal civil rights lawsuit against the City of Phoenix and the individual officers. The case remains active in federal court as both sides navigate discovery, highlighting the urgent need for systemic reform in how law enforcement interacts with disabled citizens. This case looks to continue in September of this year unless the city decides to settle. Keep in mind it's the tax payers that ultimately lose in a situation like this as tax money will be used to cover up for corrupt officers that basically attacked a disabled man.
