Deaf Man shot by N.C trooper

[Thermodolia]

A cochlear implant is fucking expensive to get in the states

It's totally worth it. And you know why it is expensive to get in the states?

Because you don't have mandatory, subsidised healthcare for all. That is why.

I'm well aware why it's fucking expensive. I'm pissed that we don't.

Could you imagine the drama every four years as US politicians threatened to leave?

[Nariterrr]

These shootings are getting worse and worse.

[Imperializt Russia]

I thought we were required to treat all police shootings as justified until proven otherwise?

He's white though.

It would give fantastic banter and popcorn to sod off the British, nonetheless

Honestly, I'm sad that they will leave. Maybe they will. Or maybe not. But for now they're looped in a grey, unclear limbo with an uncertain future.

Hey... Don't be sad or pissed. I really hope for you guys that you will manage to get that sweet healthcare through. Then finally we no longer can joke about you Americans having such medical bills that people in burning cars want to get put back.

We already have politicians that threaten to leave the UN

This is horrible. Do they even try to teach the officers sign language? They know they will be around psychos,and the mentally impaired. Why do they do this? He also tried sign language,which is a thing the article doesn't say. Are we going to have more murders? My heart goes out to this person. NSG,what's your opinion on this?

It's basically society's point of view towards the disabled. If you can't understand them, kill them. Ever since Reagan pulled his coup de ta and became President, America has had a negative point of view. I strongly suggest that all disabled Americans leave AmerIca and African-Americans leave America.

That's not going to fix anything

[Jamzmania]

The article in the OP contains little to no details about what actually happened during the stop other than that the driver was apparently deaf and there was a "brief pursuit."

[The balkens]

Can we get some more details?

Like was it a pursuit?

[Imperializt Russia]

Please tell me that's a real document header.

[Thermodolia]

Can we get some more details?

Like was it a pursuit?

There was probably a short pursuit due to the fact that deaf people can't hear sirens. He probably pulled over when he saw the blue lights.

Probably, probably.

Meanwhile everyone is already declaring that the shooting was unjustified.

How is it justified to shoot someone because they can't hear you? You could claim that he wasn't complying but officers should be trained on how to interact with deaf people.

Because shooting a deaf guy is unjustified.

We don't know what happened, so it's idiotic to jump to the conclusion that he was shot simply because he was deaf.

Because shooting a deaf guy is unjustified.

In any situation?

That's not my conclusion. I'm coming to the conclusion that he was shot because he and the police officer were unable to communicate with each other.

Yes! Just because they can't hear you doesn't mean you can kill them

That's not my conclusion. I'm coming to the conclusion that he was shot because he and the police officer were unable to communicate with each other.

And for as long as we don't have any details about what actually happened, I would suggest everyone refrain from making any conclusions.

Yes! Just because they can't hear you doesn't mean you can kill them

What if the deaf person had a gun and what pointing it at the officer?

[Wallenburg]

It's North Carolina. Of course they aren't going to teach their officers sign language. This is a terrible and easily preventable tragedy, and naturally nothing will be done about it.

[Thermodolia]

Yes! Just because they can't hear you doesn't mean you can kill them

Still try to reason using sign language or writing words on paper. But in this case that didn't happen because the victim was unarmed.

[Luziyca]

Incidents like this are happening so often that I really don't think people care as much. I feel this is going to be the new normal in the States, and I doubt that things will ever improve for the better.

...was that my out-loud jaded voice again?
