Deaf man tasered by police

In Wichita, Kansas, a man who got out of  the tub turned around and saw police with their guns pointing at him.  The deaf man was gesturing that he could not hear yet the officers thought he was refusing to obey their commands.  They shot him with a taser.  Now first of all the officers had a lack of training.  They quickly assumed that the man posed a threat to them.  How could that happen? The man had a towel wrapped around him and he was making gestures that he was deaf.  The officers need more training in how to deal with these sort of situations.  They seem like very unexperienced officers with a clear lack of training.
