A deaf Colorado man has filed a federal lawsuit claiming that two local police officers slammed him to the ground and tasered him without recognizing his disability when they arrested him after stopping him for running a stop sign.
After allegedly failing to halt at a stop sign, Brady Mistic, who is deaf in both ears and uses sign language to communicate, was assaulted by police and jailed for four months without access to an interpreter or other forms of communication.
Brady Mistic says in a federal lawsuit that police in Idaho Springs, Colorado, violated his civil rights by using unnecessary force during his arrest. Deaf in both ears, Mistic can't read lips and communicates by sign language.
