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 vehicle’s inspection sticker had expired. When Vasquez exited the car and attempted to show Robinson the dealer plates—which would’ve exempted the necessity for up to date inspection tags—that’s when the altercation happened.
“I don’t 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 I’m not going to put up with it, I don’t 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.”

What he driving a pre-owned vehicle?
Victoria is about as much a suburb of Houston as Moline is a suburb of Chicago. It’s about a 2 1/2 hour drive down US 59.
Not the way to treat people, especially someone old enough to be his Grandad. Some older folks are physically pretty tough, while others may fall easily and break a bone, which can effect them negatively for the rest of their lives.
Maybe there should be a Boxing or Karate Club for Police, who need to get rid of the excess energy.
Guilty!
He did not show the proper respect to the authority.

When are these peasants going to learn that there's BAD consequences for "refusing to obey police"?
Even if the polices are wrong. "He feared for his authority".
LOL! :)
“He feared for his authority”
You? Comply peasant....
“SCOTUS just proclaimed that the popos are within the Constitution to make up their own laws to enforce on YOU! as they see fit.”
Sourc please...
That's like calling Laramie, Wyo. a suburb of Denver.
Popos can easily have a pen and a phone too.
Magpul seems to think Cheyenne is a sub of Denver.....
Good on the bystander in the black cap who told the cop off and stayed around to tell his side of the story.
but both of them are in fly-over country and from 37,000 feet they look like they are right next door to each other.

The officer, Nathanial Robinson, 23, was placed on administrative duty Friday pending the outcome of an internal investigation into whether he violated the use of force policy when he tased Victoria resident Pete Vasquez, said Chief J.J. Craig. The officer was hired after graduating from the police academy two years ago.
23 year old kid with only 2 years on the force. Go figure.
Those in Texas better be polite and obey and comply to those in government.
This video make that inordinately clear.
