Imagine how scary it is for typical police officers, trained to kill and protect themselves, when someone does not respond or when they are holding what could be a gun in their hand or behind their back. For example, in the video, it was dark, Emmett was holding something in his hand and was not responding—how were the officers supposed to know he is deaf? Are you telling me that these people in law enforcement are incapable to understand the most simple gesture done by a deaf person pointing at their ears indicating they cannot hear?

Come on. What if the police officers are unable to see the sign? What if the deaf person does not see the officers? If it was broad daylight and no one made any sudden moves, then I would think the police officers were overreacting jerks. Police officers will make mistakes and some of them are just evil bastards.

What are some suggestions you have to help with misunderstandings or miscommunications that may occur with deaf people and officers? What should officers do if someone does not respond to their commands? I am deaf and a forensic psychologist. The simple fact is that upon initially arriving at a scene, officers have to assume control quickly. That can and often does involve handcuffing someone behind their back while they secure the scene and try to determine what is going on.

That aside, deaf people do commit crimes, and they do sometimes kill people. There is known to be quite a problem with domestic violence in the community and domestic calls are the most dangerous calls for officers. The officers cannot take chances with safety until a scene is calm and they have enough help to manage the situation, or until they and the other person are in a more secure setting. They will not be able to have that interpreter magically appear with them in the field, so they may have to arrange for the interview at the police station, and if the crime is severe, they can hold you until they can question you.

That said, it is concerning the frequency with which there are no interpreters provided for interviews. I see it all the time and it is horrifying. I also see a CODA cop often interpreting even though he is not fluent enough to do so.

The only way to address this problem is to have both sides working collaboratively to understand each other and to come to mutually agreeable solutions. Blaming police for doing what they need to do for safety does nothing. The fact that Emmett was hold a tool wrench in his hand and had it up in the air as he pointed to his ear and the police can easily perceive that has being potentially used as a weapon ya know?

This is what we need to teach the entire deaf community on, if you are approached by the police, and if you have anything that can potentially be used as a weapon in your hands, the first thing you want to do is drop it on the floor and slowly move away from it which still facing the policeman and the police will see you as MUCH less of a threat as opposed to retaining that item in your hands.

Officers of the law have a very tough job to do. Often times, they need to make decisions that are potentially a matter of life or death. I think it is unfair to portray cops in a bad light. Of course there are good and bad cops. I grew up with two cops and one detective in my neighborhood.

Their kids were friends with me, and my deaf parents. They all knew my parents. Fast forward eons later, my family moved into a new town, a small town. We started to get bad treatment from the cops. I immediately contacted the police department and spoke to officers.. We were treated differently because they knew nothing about deaf people. Instead of going on offensive, I decided to be proactive and teach them about deaf people. One day I might write a book about it.

I do not have any hard feelings for law enforcement, however, we do need to be proactive and make ourselves understood by educating Law Enforcement. Mandating all officers to learn sign language is NOT feasible! Certain situations warrants getting an interpreter, not all situation does.

Pen and paper will do for some situations. When you are approached by an officer, keep your hands free of anything and out of your pockets! When you are pulled over, do NOT get out of the car!!! Keep your hands on the wheel!

There was one incident where I was riding in the car my brother drove in Chicago, we were going to Chicago Club of the Deaf to see Mayor Byrne give presentation to deaf folks at the club. Little did we know she tried to warn us that there was a cop behind us. My brother pulled over, got out of the car and the cops were ready to shoot him!! Then realized at spit second that he is deaf. The cops were MAD. My brother had a temporary registration on the car in the wrong place.
