Pearl Pearson, 64, a diabetic, deaf driver who resides in Oklahoma City was allegedly viciously beaten for seven minutes by police because he did not respond  during a traffic stop, reports the Black Youth Project.

The question that I have is isn't law enforcement officers educated on how to handle and recognize someone who may be deaf? Does it seem like these type of incidents are happening more and more or have they always been happening and now because of the internet it gets more exposure?

What do you think?
