Deaf Woman's Face Beaten Black and Blue

(And she's the one being charged with assault!)

How in the world do they keep on getting away with this shit?  This poor woman is nearly deaf and was walking towards an officer who told her to stop.  She could not hear him so he beat her to the point at which you can see above.  He then followed that up by arresting her on charges of assaulting an officer for a supposed aggressive stance she took before he attacked her.  

IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE?  This officer caused extensive facial bruising because of an aggressive stance?!

NY Daily News reports the situation as such:

A woman with mental and hearing disabilities dialed 911 for protection — from a cop's punches.

Megan Graham's face is still black and blue and swollen from the beating when an officer tried to restrain her last Monday.

"I had a concussion. I still have a hard time understanding how things got so out of control, so fast,"

The officer ordered her to get back in her vehicle from his running car, which she claims not to have heard because of her partial hearing impairment.

Suddenly the officer got out, lunged forward and grabbed her wrist, which she pulled back quickly before calling 911 to ask for help. Then she says she tried to explain that she suffers from disabilities and did not fully grasp what was happening.

"You attacked me before you said anything!" she can be heard saying in the 911 call. "There is no point whatsoever for you to touch me like that, especially with my condition, so how dare you even touch me?"

The officer can be heard saying repeatedly, "You are under arrest."

Graham, who says she was struck in the face three times, now faces felony charges for assaulting a police officer. Her arraignment is set for June 10 at 9 a.m., reported the local Federal Way Mirror newspaper.

The Federal Way police claim that as the officer approached Graham, she squared off in a fighter's stance and tried to hit him, at which point she retaliated.

It is disgusting how police officers have become a protected caste.  They are above the law, all they have to say is they felt threatened and whoever they want is charged with assault.  Not that it even need be said, but one of Megan's friends described her as follows:

"That woman doesn't have a violent bone in her body," Fenwick said. "She's got a heart of gold. If she would have understood the officer's commands in the first place, she would have absolutely complied with him."
