The incident occurred in Victoria, Texas, a suburb of Houston. A dash camera captured officer Nathaniel Robinson tasering 76-year-old Pete Vasquez.
Vasquez was driving a vehicle owned by the car dealership where he works. Officer Robinson pulled him over when he noticed the vehicles inspection sticker had expired. When Vasquez exited the car and attempted to show Robinson the dealer plateswhich wouldve exempted the necessity for up to date inspection tagsthats when the altercation happened.
I dont know what his deal is, Vasquez told an officer that arrived on the scene later. Vasquez went on, he came over here and got nasty with me and Im not going to put up with it, I dont care who it is. Then he grabbed me and threw me on the pavement there and I almost knocked my head on that damn poll and then he start [sic] Tasing.

You just keep thinking that...
That’s why I’m against new laws targeting certain groups. Because the pendulum will swing the other way eventually, and those laws will be used against you at some point.
Probably a bit more enlightened on the workings of Texas government and its police officer than someone from Kali.
No
but not worthy of the treatment he received in return.
23 year old cop. There seems to be an endless supply of dick heads waiting to get a badge.
The cop's a mindreader! He knew the man was 76 and innocent...
It doesn't take a mind reader to tell the guy was old, and an understanding of inception rules would have cleared this all up.
Agreed.
If you anti-cop people don't want things like this to happen, stop passing laws to collect fees and taxes.
Then the cops won't have to stop people for for not displaying the decals that prove payment.
Cops enforce the laws. Get rid of the laws instead of blaming the cops for doing what they are told and trained to do.
I never understood the obsession some have of Texas being a great bastion of freedom and guns. Texas has a very aggressive police force and is not as gun friendly as other states.

Make a list of the laws you want enforced/not enforced and then run for local office and do something about it.
Calling cops Nazis is just empty chatter.
Nice evasive dance donna, but the issue here was not the controlling money making punitive government regulation.
You totally evaded what brought this to national attention on the Internet and beyond.
The issue here is not the law donna, but the government agent literally attacking the old guy like one would expect in a brutal fascist police state...
The old guy was treated like a terrorist or someone who just violently robbed or raped someone.
Nice try though donna...
Don’t you know that you’re supposed to work a full-time job (if you can get one after the government gets done squashing small business) to pay protection money to the Gauleiters and their gunthugs, and then you’re supposed to work in your free time to undo the law after law after law that your Leaders get paid full-time to pass in the middle of the night while you’re not looking?
"Im not going to put up with it, I dont care who it is." [Vasquez said]
The cop's a mindreader! He knew the man was 76 and innocent, but the cop just wanted to hurt someone! Yeah, that's what happened.
You have no idea how the "old guy" was treated or how he acted. Cops take physical control of all situations. It can be no other way.
So, if you don't want anyone stopped for a missing decal, change the law.
You have no idea how the "old guy" was treated
Sure I do. Video makes a great witness donna. It might surprise you, but it's used in courts a great deal.
It's why it's so hated by certain elements in our society.
Some people, like you for instance, can't handle the truth or damning evidence.
All you have to do it pass the laws you want enforced and cops will do it. If you want cops to back off and never touch a lawbreaker, just pass a law.
Looks to me like you’re the one responsible.

Once again donna, no one here is mad that some cops do their jobs. The problem is cops acting like out of control violent gangsters or fascist in a police state.
Get it?
He has a new assignment for you.
When the entire story and issue here was the brutal violent actions of this cop...Not some law, infraction or the voters.
No doubt anyone capable of critical thought would quickly have your number Missy.
