strangeasanjles:4mysquad:A community and family is mourning the loss of Daniel Kevin Harris, whose life was taken this week by a State Trooper who apparently fears sign language. Harris, who is deaf and mute, was gunned down in front of his house.“I was here in my driveway and I saw the highway patrol car come through and it was smoking really bad,” said neighbor Mark Barringer. “About 10 seconds later, I heard one gunshot.”Harris was trying to communicate with the trooper using sign language before he was killed.Harris died on the scene. He was 28-years-old.Neighbor Ryan Russell said he’d see the man out in the neighborhood speaking in sign language with his family. “It seemed like a very peaceful family. These things are always heartbreaking.”In the land of the free, a deaf man suspected of driving too fast can be killed in cold blood. Unfortunately, as we’ve shown time and again, this type of mistreatment and attacks on the deaf by police are all too common.source#KillerCops #PoliceBrutality #StayWokeWhat the fuck.This happens all the time, we been saying that d/Deaf people have been targeted for sign language by cops. White folks don’t rally tho. We have to remember their names because no one else will. Rest in peace. -- source link
