DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - September 3, 2021 -- Federal government says Supreme Court is wrong The federal government told nation’s top court that it is wrong regarding a deaf woman suffering from emotional distress. The Fifth Circuit disagreed, saying there is nothing in the law books about emotional distress under federal disability bias lawsuits. How often would a Supreme Court agree with the federal government as there have been years and years of past disagreements between the government and the court? -- Stranger deaf man becoming buddies with Stranger hearing man There was a story of Jerry Cooper who is deaf, becoming coffee cafe friends with a hearing man, who knew no ASL in the past. He has been learning ASL - for one reason, to chat with Jerry on any topic, even politics! They also use gestures and write notes.   -- disagreement on best ways for police to deal with deaf The Connecticut subcommittee of the Police Transparency and Accountability Task Force wanted to find best ways for the police to deal with the deaf during traffic stops.
