Ah, whatever. If he didn't want to be tasered he shouldn't have been deaf.

As for a multilingual police force, 3 years ago I took American Sign Language just for interests sake (I do have an aunt who is deaf, but I only see her 3 or 4 times a year). There were 10 of us in the class, two of whom were learning so that they could pad their resume to get into the police department. The competition is very hard to get into the police force - that the guys wanting to get in need every leg up they can get. So learning different languages is a great way to spice up the application. Personally, I think sign language had to be the easiest language in the world to learn. No verb tenses. No articles. No prepositions. It's amazing the number of words in the english language that we really don't need to communicate.
