A Victoria police officer, Nathanial Robinson, 23, is under investigation for using a taser on a 76-year-old man armed only with licence plate papers.
The victim, Pete Vasquez, states “He just acted like a pit bull, and that was it,” he continues, “For a while, I thought he was going to pull his gun and shoot me.”

What was the music he was listening to in his cruiser.? I hope that sack and convict him that was assault in its purist form.
Agreed .
he should be arrested charged and beaten
Well then you watched an entirely different video than this idiot did. The reason for the stop does not matter. If the cop was wrong of the reason for the stop…fine. That can be contested later.
However, the cop made the stop. The man gets out of the car and is protesting. The cop indicates toward the truck and while obviously telling the man to put his hands there. Passive Resistance. Now the cop escalates (and rightfully so) by going hands on to restrain the man. The man pulls away from this…Active Resistance. The cop can now escalate again to an intermediate weapon ie baton, pepper spray, and in some departments Taser. To add to the situation another subject approaches from behind the officer. The cop needs to get a handle on the situation and does so by deploying the taser.
There is nothing to see here. Sections are missing immediately following the encounter…like the man being placed in the back of the car. The second officers are asking about well being after. That’s standard procedure. Just as they would administer first aid after a spray.
There is no story here. Everything I just said can be searched and confirmed as standard practices. There is no fourth amendment violation. Move on.
We are a free people or we die.
Satan in uniform.
He doesn’t need to be in Law Enforcement
Outrageous!
True,he needs a new job.
