Tazing kids in wheelchairs, shooting 85 year old men in their beds, beating homeless people to death with batons, hands and feet... nothing to see here, just a few bad apples. Police Beat, Stun Deaf Man After Confusing Sign Language With Threatening GesturesFebruary 17, 2014 11:32 PM HAWTHORNE (CBSLA.com) — Jonathan Meister was retrieving some stuff he was storing at an ex-roommate’s home when he looked up to find several members of the Hawthorne Police Department approaching. The South Bay man claims officers didn’t give him a chance to explain what he was doing before placing him in handcuffs, beating him and using a stun gun to shock him into submission. The problem began when police reportedly misunderstood Meister’s attempts to speak in sign language as threatening gestures. losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014/02/17/police-beat-stun-deaf-man-after-confusing-sign-language-with-threatening-gestures/
