When you thought that things could not get any worse for US police, Deaf driver shot dead by US police during traffic stop.

Authorities in the southern US state of North Carolina are investigating the death of a deaf man who was fatally shot after a trooper tried to pull him over for speeding.

Daniel Harris, 29, who used sign language to communicate, led trooper Jermaine Saunders on a 13-kilometre chase on Thursday (local time) that started on an interstate highway and ended outside his home in Charlotte, local television station WSOC reported.

The driver exited his vehicle in the neighbourhood and an "encounter took place" that led to a shot being fired, North Carolina State Highway Patrol spokesman Sergeant Michael Baker said in a statement.

The driver died at the scene, Sergeant Baker said. No weapon was recovered from Harris, the State Bureau of Investigation told WSOC.

Mr Saunders has been placed on administrative leave while investigators review evidence, including dashboard and body camera videos.

A neighbour called the shooting "totally unacceptable."

"He didn't even hear the siren, he didn't hear anything ... You're pulling someone over who is deaf, they are handicapped," Mark Barringer told WSOC.

Harris's family has launched an online fundraiser to pay for funeral expenses.

Leftover money "will be used to set up a foundation in his name to educate and provide law enforcement proper training on how to confront deaf people," the family's YouCaring.com fundraising page said.

They hoped to change drivers' registration systems so that a "deaf" alert will show up when police look up a car's license plate.

"With this change, Daniel will be a hero in our deaf community," the family said.

Bloody disgrace!!

Why didn't he pull over is what I'm asking.

I'm not condemning either side without knowing the facts, and neither should you.

So you are ok for the police to shoot to kill for failure to pull over?

If he had just pulled over it could had gone way different.

yeah, it would have gone different. The trigger happy cop would have shot him the disabled deaf driver in the car. For the failure to comply to produce his drivers license.

Ummm.. just google "US Police shot a deaf man" and you will see the news articles around the globe expressing an outrage as how the so called "trained" police officer interpreted the sign language as a threat to his safety and used the deadly force to neutralize this "threat".

It's a fault of incompetence and improper training. The same goes for blacks under suspicion their dangerous. Police are heavily unregulated and untrained, unless we really crack down on this issue more shit will happen.

They did the right thing by killing him. Someone who doesn't follow police rules deserves to die.























Hail Hitler

Easy to say that over the internet on a gaming forums.
