There are the proper signs as posted by Red Badger in comment #21.

It didn't work. That means the system could be improved. I'm not excusing the police in this case; they belong in jail, and impoverished. Nevertheless, the deaf could do a better job than expecting everybody else to research and learn to read their signs. PSA advertising of at most two or three emergency signals would go a long way to improving their situation. It's up to them to come up with the signals.

" It's up to them to come up with the signals. "

They came "up with the signals" long ago and made them publicly available. We alreay covered that, but you continue to present the fallacy. Any policeman incapable of learning to understand that one simple signing gesture or associated gestures is incompetent.

Anyone so incompetent who handcuffs, beats and electrocutes a deaf/mute man for trying to tell them that he is deaf/mute is a criminal. Others beat on old diabetics in shock at car stops. Others rousted and threatened other cops from suspicions that the good cops investigated rich criminals. Others beat kids over their heads with flashlights over nothing more than words. Others openly displayed generalized jealousy and hostility against good cops who had been combat soldiers and Marines.

I did not indulge in those behaviors and chose to leave police work behind rather than be associated with them. The only thing worse than a criminal cop is a constituent who owns one. Buzz off.
