NAD wrote a letter on March 15, 2011 for the Seattle Police Chief....7 months after the killing of John T. Williams.
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) sent a letter to the Seattle Police Chief John Diaz regarding the tragic killing of John T. Williams, a hard of hearing First Nation artist, by then Seattle Police Officer Ian Birk on August 30, 2010.Here's the March 15th letter.
I suppose it's better late than never as they say but I am curious as to the time it took them to write a letter to the Seattle Police Chief.

The police should be taught/trained that involves all variables.

NAD... paralysis by analysis perhaps became a factor with NAD?
NAD clearly had no qualms fighting for Washington Redskins fans... Si! That's right! Are ya ready for some Football!?
I am a baseball fan, Let's play ball!

UMMMM.... GONAD!?
Too long, I'm telling you! Really, NAD offices suck. They rake your money to spend for galas, travels, parties, sleep in fancy hotels from your money. I graduated from Gally '06 and still refuse to join NAD.
Say no thanks to NAD. Period! Ask Disability Rights. Period!
I'm glad NAD took the long road to respond to the unfortunate incident because they are deserving of a bad mark that will be brought up in the talking circles. I'm going to a few this year I'll bring it up that NAD took a bit too long to wake their eyes above the deaf native Americans. I can make is point and actually back it up with hard evidence.
