There's No Reason For This: Cops Accused Of Viciously Beating 64 Year Old Deaf Man For Not Responding During Traffic Stop!

"A deaf man in Oklahoma City claims Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers
used excessive force against him for not
obeying
their commands, despite a sign he says he has in his vehicle that alerts
others that he is deaf.

Pearl Pearson, 64, allegedly fled the scene of an automobile accident and
was later pulled over by Oklahoma
Highway Patrol
troopers.


Affiliate KFOR reports that an affidavit indicates Pearson resisted two
troopers and didn't comply with multiple
orders to show
his hands after they had pulled him over on January 3. A seven-minute
physical altercation ensued. Pearson alleges
he was hit
in the face before he could show his ID. The affidavit does not mention if
the officers knew Pearson couldn't hear
them.
Pearson was arrested and later charged for leaving the scene of an
accident and resisting arrest.


Pearson's neighbor, Sacia Law, said she knows him to be a kind man and
said that what happened to him was the
result of a
misunderstanding." - NewsChannel4.
