Prosecutors have dropped criminal charges against Tyron McAlpin, a 34-year-old deaf Black man beaten by police after supposedly resisting arrest.

The man, Tyron Scott McAlpin, who also has cerebral palsy, was repeatedly punched and shocked with a Taser by the police during an arrest in August. The arrest is under investigation.

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

Bodycam footage shows the instance where Tyron McAlpin, an individual with deafness and cerebral palsy, was strolling on the road engaged in a phone call. A police car approached him, and the situation quickly deteriorated into a violent encounter.
