You’re not allowed to use your depression as an excuse to make others feel bad. I’m sorry that you’re going through shit but robbing others of their happiness isn’t going to help. Support those who do their best to support you.

(April 26, 2023) Austin, Texas - Deaf Austin man sues police after tasing incident

John Kelley, a Deaf man from Austin, has filed a federal lawsuit against the San Marcos Police Department after he was tased by three police officers in San Marco, Texas in 2019. A trial is set for this September.

Local news outlets in the Austin area have reported on the incident and the legal action.

Alex: What happened prior to the incident? Kelley and his wife, Mary, and their three children had just gone to a restaurant and were driving when Kelley and his wife had an argument. They pulled the car over and argued outside. John then walked away to a parking lot while Mary followed in a car. A neighbor called the police because they thought the intense argument in ASL was some kind of domestic disturbance.

I asked Kelley in an interview to explain what happened that night.

John Kelley: I was signing and someone in a house called the cops. They dialed 911. The person misunderstood the situation between me and my wife. We were signing wildly. She went away and I walked away. I got frustrated again but decided to calm myself down by walking away. Then it was unexpected. The police cruiser came up very quickly and shined its bright lights on me. The officers ran to me. I said, “I’m deaf.” They tased me. It felt like, it’s hard to say, it was like a surge of shock and I collapsed. They tased me three times very quickly. They also kicked me twice on my side. I tried yelling. The officers then backed away. I was out of breath and it was the first time I’ve ever experienced this.

Kelley: The officers tried to speak to me and I told them “I’m deaf.” They kept on going and going. They were testing me. I felt very hurt. Very shocked. I thought it was just me being stopped by officers but it escalated. They looked at me as a big man and targeted me. I’m tall, yeah, I’m 6’9. I’m strong. The officers were shorter. I didn’t hit them. I didn’t have knives or anything. The officers had equipment and weapons on their belts. I was unarmed so it was silly.

Alex: Kelley said he was tased in front of his wife and children. He said Mary tried to alert the officers that they were deaf but she was blocked off by an officer.

Alex: Kelley said the officers then left and did not apologize.

KXAN News showed that one of the officers wrote in a Notes app that they tased him because they thought he may have been reaching for a weapon. The officers said, “We obviously wouldn’t have tased you in the beginning if we knew that you were deaf.”

Alex: Kelley said one of the police body camera videos showed that one of the officers could fingerspell. Kelley said they are questioning why he tased him when it should be very obvious that he is deaf at the beginning.

Kelley went to the hospital to get medical attention for injuries to his torso, face, knees and arms from the tasers and the struggle.

Alex: KSAT News reported that there was no kind of discipline given out to the officers. Their names are Andrew Wisener, Basil Pierce and John Dehkordi.

Kelley sued the city of San Marcos and the three officers alleging violations of his civil rights and that he was discriminated against in violation of the ADA. The suit also accuses the officers of using excessive force. He is being represented by attorneys Rebecca Webber and Scott Hendler. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, is asking the court to provide recovery for damages inflicted on the Kelleys in an amount to be determined by the jury.

Kelley: I hope there will be a good result to help the Deaf community. Officers should wait and determine if a person is deaf or hearing before approaching them.

Alex: Thank you for sharing your story. We’ll provide an update.

@molshevik1 Are you looking for something based off your degree or just a job in general..?

[Tanya Edith Arreola @_passion_tea__]

@TehanTheMan I guess he missed the part where the “armed good guys” let the shooter enter the building and didn’t go in after him because they “feared for their lives” buuut also decided they would run in to get their kids rather than save everyone.

@molshevik1 I saw this “tip” ig online where someone said go to the gas station and buy a candy bar/drink/snack or just anything… this helps you get out and about which usually will help you especially if all you do is lay in bed/stay home

@bextheesimp I say go to the cops, the fact it’s happened multiple times seems like a good enough reason for them to give her a search warrant.
