Alabama police taser deaf, disabled man
Police officers in Mobile Alabama used as taser on a mentally-disabled deaf man who had spent a long time inside a toilet cubicle in a store’s bathroom.
Not realizing that the unfortunate fellow was deaf and mentally-challenged, the boys in blue knocked on the door and called for him to come out. And when he didn’t hear them, they gave him a dose of pepper spray which they sprayed underneath the toilet stall door.
The officers then broke open the toilet door and immediately tasered the hapless man, later named as Antonio Love, age 37.
When the cops realized they had swarmed a deaf and disabled man, they tried to book him for disorderly conduct. Fortunately, the charges were thrown out by a duty magistrate, and Mr Love’s family have since lodged a formal complaint about the incident.
