Agreed, hearing loss can and does take all forms. There are people who have either lost the ability or was born not being able to hear sounds emitted at certain frequencies. And given that, it is reasonable to presume that even if a person is not totally deaf that they will not be able to hear either a car coming up behind them
OR be able to hear a police siren.
And given the individual's lack of reaction to even the officer's yelling out his window at him it is safe to presume that his hearing loss was more profound then even that. So again I'd like to know what that rookie cop was thinking when he tased a person on a bicycle. Particularly a person that it had already been reported had fallen at least once.
Given that it'd been reported to presumably the 911 operator that the cyclist had fallen does it not follow that tasing him is not a smart idea?
