Gestapo
What is wrong with these people? Put them in a uniform and give them a gun and everything changes.
huh - color me surprised the police didn't de-escalate the situation as is the normal case / sarc
Gestures are threatening? Who is hired as police officers who are threatened by a gesture? There was a story a while back some little kid wasbeaten and arrested for a “threatening look.” People still trust police? I sure don’t.
Years ago on a hot August night I went up to the local watering hole to meet a few friends and watch a late Cubs game. Well one the guys walks in and asks if we had seen any of “those weird kids” next door in the BK parking lot. I looked out the window and saw about 10 kids that were signing! My daughter had a deaf schoolmate and her teacher would send home the ASL sheets so she could learn and of course I would let her
practice on me.I learned a little too!
This story brings me to tears!

The problem began when police reportedly misunderstood Meister’s attempts to speak in sign language as threatening gestures.
Moreover, officers didn’t realize that when they handcuffed Meister, who is “profoundly deaf” and non-verbal, they took away his ability to communicate.
