Only thing missing from this story is a dead dog.
What a bunch of Morons.
They really must have scraped the bottom of the barrel for these Black Glove Cops.
I hope this poor guy takes them to the cleaners.
Ignorant cops are dangerous cops.
They probably high-fived each other over beers back at the precinct, too.
I bet as they beat him and handcuffed him, they were screaming, "STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING!"
To a deaf guy.
Stay away from cities, people. Stay away from the police. They are NOT your friends.
Wow, this might be the incident where the police and the police union will finally get sued, rather than the local government. Their actions were so totally stupid and puts into question basic training in human understanding.

Morons on a power trip.
Once upon a time, the police were your friends.
No longer.
“Hawthorne police provided a copy of the police report showing they recognized Meister was deaf early on and that he tried to resist.”
Tried to resist what, exactly? False arrest?
LOL
‘effing cops thought he was throwing up gang signs . ..
Beware the threatening hand gesture! It has felled many a mighty police officer.
Being almost totally deaf, I can relate. I hope he cleans out the place.......................
Some cops have only two modes of action: donuts and get the a$$ho!e.
Not being very skilled in communication, observation or empathy, they make a quick decision: good guy or a$$ho!e.
Once the adrenaline sets in, they carry out the true reason why they became cops: to legally beat the $h!t out of citizens.
Annoyed by this posting? TS.
Morterforkers!!!
Who do I talk to about letting these thugs wear badges, carry guns and use tasers. Better yet, I want their home telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.
My sister was born profoundly deaf and the thought of it just makes want to get on a plane and fly all the way to California to kick some bad-ass cops’ asses!
This is a case where “sensitivity training” would definitely be in order.
I know that there are many decent police officers, but the police force as a whole is completely worthless to the people of the USA anymore.
Police no longer “protect or serve”. They no longer “fight crime”. They are IRS revenue collectors for local government. That’s it. Their job is to steal money from average taxpayers. Nothing more.
Time to abolish them as well as so many other governmental organizations.
ping!
They are just dumb cops that can’t read or write. That will be their defense.
Uh, threatening gestures? They Stunned him for threatening gestures?
Wow, what were they afraid of? Someone might see?
Back in the day, when I read one of these headlines, I just figured it was about some police state nightmare unfolding in a foreign 3rd world dictatorship s*#thole. Not anymore. Land of the Free...Home of the Brave...now, pretty much a myth.
