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,... show more

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

Cop should've been shot on the spot.

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.

That guy was not a threat and did not look like he was reaching. Wtf

The cop is a dipshit and should be cleaning dog cages. Cochlear implanted easy to recognize. I hope they fired him.

Lmao. Not in the face. Bro

that was rough

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.

Looked fake, turns out it is.

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…

the fact he is in the car by himself and has his hands raised with no visible weapons he did deserve millions.

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.

are police dumb or psychopathic? it's one or the other

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)

A rare case of a bad cop.

Crap! How did it even get to that point? If he pulled him over for speeding and escalated that quickly, wow!

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.

AI SLOP! FAKE SHIT!

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.

You can taze me for 8.7 mil.

I think they need to bring IQ requirements to the police department. Anybody with any common sense will recognize that the situation was different than threatening.

This video is AI generated, and the story is fake.

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.

Should those officers who use force face street justice?

Hearing aids or not? sometimes the traffic stop can be tricky🚦🚥

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!

What makes it worse is that he looked terrified. That cop needs to be fired

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.
