After running out of his house upon seeing his dog shot to death by police, an elderly man, who reacted angrily to the dog's death, is tasered for "ignoring" an order to stop and turning to go back into his house. Only problem is the man in question was deaf.

Jonathan Turley reports

Police in Bruceville-Eddy, Texas shot and killed a dog that they insist was threatening them and then tasered its elderly owner for failing to obey their commands. The man turns out to be deaf and there is still no word on the investigation that began in March in the incident.
