“An elderly deaf Oklahoma man was beat by two highway patrol troopers earlier this month for allegedly refusing to comply during a traffic stop. According to reports, 64-year-old Pearl Pearson left the scene of a minor automobile accident before being pulled over by Oklahoma Highway Patrol on January 3. After issuing several vocal commands from their police vehicle, troopers claim Pearson refused to show his hands. Despite a large placard on his driver’s door stating, ‘Driver is deaf,’ Pearson claims troopers immediately began hitting his face as he attempted to show his ID, which also states that he is hearing-impaired. According to Pearson, he was denied an interpreter.”
