VICTORIA, TX -- A Victoria police officer has been placed on administrative duty after his dashboard camera caught him Tasering an elderly man.
In the video obtained by the Victoria Advocate, Officer Nathanial Robinson is seen arresting 76-year-old Pete Vasquez, when he suddenly throws Vasquez onto the hood of the car, pulls him to the ground and Tasers him.
Vasquez said the cop acted more like a pit bull than a police officer.
"I turn around and he pulled that Taser and he shot me with it, and you know it looked like he's enjoying that," Vasquez said.

>> Under ‘arrest’ only means that you are placed in handcuffs while the officer does further investigation.
I think you are confusing “being detained” and “being placed under arrest”.
You can’t be placed under arrest just upon the whim of the cop, for no reason. There are rules and standards and such for arrest. Hence, the concept of “false arrest”.
“You don’t know what the man said to the officer.”
And it wasn’t recorded because of a Thug cop listening to Rapp Music. Any cop caught listening to that on duty should be fired because then we already know what kind of person they are.
We Americans just DON’T know how LOW standards are for police in those countries and how HIGH our standards are.

Lick, lick, lap, lap,Lick, lick, lap, lap Lick, lick, lap, lap ad. nauseum.......
Did see. Now everyone else’s steroid comments make sense, as he looks like the growing population of skinhead types in LE.
From a LEO aspect, some parts, generally local, have been for a long time.
It’s a dealer tag, no sticker required.
Go back to the can and clean up.....you have a little left on your chin.
I grew up up in a foreign country and dealt with that country’s police force many times growing up as a “foreigner” there.
I will say that there are LEO’s and departments in this country fast approaching that nation’s level of “professionalism”.
Cops on duty don’t get to have “bad days” and abuse citizens because.
If my contrarian statement makes me a “hater”, so be it.
But the truth is the truth and blanket statements on both sides of these debates/discussions, whether they be for or against cops, don’t do anyone any good.
I won't argue with that.
Was he 'being detained' or 'being placed under arrest' ?
Here is what I don’t understand.
If it doesn’t require a sticker, why did they say it had an EXPIRED STICKER on the plate ?
I have been reading all the articles relating to this incident, and if all the statements are true, then the officer should not have pulled him over to begin with.
However, once he did, regardless to why, it’s not a good idea to resist arrest.
Anyway, the Police Chief seems to think the officer screwed up, so it’s probably a settled issue.
I still wonder is there wasn’t some ‘misuse’ of the dealer tags going on. I see that quite a bit. Employee’s cars with Dealer tags on them.
I have been in a situation where the cops pulled me over and said my license plate LIGHT was out. They ‘detained’ me for a while and searched the car. Then they let me go.
Had I argued with them, and decided to handcuff me, and I had fought back with them, what do you think would have happened to me ?
(When I got home I checked. The license plate LIGHT was working just fine)
LOL! Then we must have been watching two different videos bootlicker, because what I saw was a punk ass cop who couldn't wait to show an old man who was in control. It was a missing inspection sticker Pete's sake ... not a suspected armed robber. It was clear the punk-ass cop had an attitude when he got out of the car.
Go back to the can and clean up.....
