> In a statement, the Idaho Springs Police Department said the two officers didn't know Mistic was deaf during the initial encounter and maintained that Mistic resisted arrest, causing one of the officers to break his leg.
Weird the article mentions this once and doesn't elaborate. I mean, how exactly did the officer break his leg?
> Mistic then spent more than four months in jail and says he was repeatedly denied an interpreter.
That's horrifying.
> Hanning was later charged with third-degree assault and fired from the police force in a separate case in which he allegedly used his Taser on a 75-year-old man, according to The Associated Press. Summers, who used a Taser on Mistic, according to the lawsuit, is still an officer with the Idaho Springs police.
Sounds like this sort of thing is a recurring problem.
