All charges have been dismissed against a deaf Black man with cerebral palsy who was shocked with a Taser and repeatedly punched by Phoenix police officers.

Oklahoma paid $175,000 to settle claims that its highway patrol used excessive force against Pearl Pearson, who sued after being injured during a 2014 traffic stop when he was unable to communicate or follow verbal directions. He was beaten "to a pulp," his lawyer Derek Burch said.

All charges were dropped against a Black man after bodycam footage released earlier this week shows two Phoenix police officers shouting orders at him as he’s lying face-down on the ground – with one officer repeatedly punching him and another officer tasing him.
