As the story of Ferguson continues people are bringing up cases of police brutality against the blacks. On the 8th of January 2014 this 64 year-old man, Pearl Pearson, from Oklahoma was heavily beaten by 2 cops for allegedly ignoring them when the yelled at him to put up his hands.
Sad truth is that Pearson is a deaf diabetic driver and could not hear them, they could easily have found this information out if they had taken time to read his driving licence or even look at the door on t`the driver side of the vehicle where it was clearly written that he was deaf.
Sadly enough they were beating on their own Pearson's son is a cop and his daughter is also married to a cop. For seven minutes he was beaten up by 2 cops for something he did not understand.....
