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.”

good
What would compel this young man to abuse an elderly man in the first place? He needs to be fired and a Law suit started against him.

“I am 70 years old, and I would not try to fight a police officer less than half my age.
It is obvious that the man had pulled into an inspection garage. All the cop had to do is go in with him to verify the inspection for the sticker on the car. The man had the paper work from the dealership, all he had to do was ask for the papers to verify the dealership plates.
He did not have to use the force he did! I know if I had been put down like that I would have most likely serious injuries.
That police department would have a serious law suit on their hands, for excessive use of force and personal injuries.
At no point did I see him resist him, and regardless of your age you will get upset when you are accused of having illegal plates. The dealer put temporary plates on a car so the buyer can travel to your insurance agent office, the BMV, the county tax people, and a garage to get the car inspected. It will not have a safety sticker on it because you just got it that day.”

he shouldn’t be a cop
good teach him a lesson how to treat people???
Matt. In every case I have seen on here a simple Yes Sir or a No Sir would have calmed the situation. The old man tried the Cop. He lost.

“Your argument, correct me if I am wrong, is the police officer properly used the escalation of force, at least as dictated by your understanding of that specific officers SOP. That argument, while I am sure is based in policy, is completely ridiculous. It is so because you are not taking into account any form of common sense or discretion that is necessary on a case by case basis. Where was the threat to the officer immediate or otherwise that would require him to escalate his use of force to using a weapon? Easy answer, it did not exist. The man was approximately half of the officers size, did not have a weapon, obviously was not in a position to get back in his car or run from the officer. Where was the level of resistance that justified using a taser on the man? While I am sure your answer to this it says so in some policy, the policy does not make the escalation and use of force a requirement, simply an option.As a member of the Military with 2 combat deployments, there is no way we could indiscriminately apply our escalation of force in every situation that our “policy” justified doing so, nor were we expect to. In fact, in most pre-mission briefs it was directed that a certain amount of discretion and common sense be applied before resorting to said escalation. Common sense and discretion that according to your argument need not be applied by police because your policy does not say to use it, and the inference I get from you is that cops can not be expected to do so on their own. Your question was who is putting up this wall between the public and cops, to this I answer, cops like this who blatantly use more force than necessary, and people like you who justify it by referencing some policy.”
