Police in Victoria, Texas, placed an officer on administrative duty pending an investigation after an altercation with a 76-year-old man who didn’t have an inspection sticker on his car.
Victoria resident Pete Vasquez pulled over at the Adams Auto Mart, where he helps with mechanical work, when the officer, 23-year-old Nathanial Robinson, got out of his patrol car and confronted him. The 76-year-old is seen on dashcam video pointing to the dealer license plate on the back of the car.
The Victoria Advocate newspaper reported that Vasquez told Robinson the vehicle was exempt from requiring an inspection sticker because it still had dealer tags. Police chief Jeffrey Craig later confirmed to the paper that the vehicle was, in fact, exempt.
Robinson appears to have tried to take something out of Vasquez’s hand but failed to do so. That’s when Robinson twists Vasquez’s arm behind his back, eventually landing the man on the ground out of view of the dashcam. Moments later, Robinson is seen standing in front of the patrol car holding a stun gun, which he used on Vasquez at least twice, police told the Victoria Advocate.
“He just acted like a pit bull, and that was it. For a while, I thought he was going to pull his gun and shoot me,” Vasquez said, according to the Advocate.
Another man, sales manager Larry Urich, emerged from the auto mart, appearing to shout at the officer, “What in the hell are you doing? This gentleman is 76 years old.”
Urich told the Advocate, “The cop told me to stand back, but I didn’t shut up. I told him he was a godd**m Nazi Stormtrooper.”
“Public trust is extremely important to us,” Craig said, according to the Advocate. “Sometimes that means you have to take a real hard look at some of the actions that occur within the department.”
Craig later apologized to Vasquez, the Huffington Post reported. Additional officers later arrived on the scene and asked Vasquez for his side of the story and whether he was hurt in the scuffle.
“Are you hurting anywhere?” one of the officers asked Vasquez.
“Not yet,” he said. “Probably later on. I’m 76 years old.”
Vasquez was taken to the hospital, but was not cited by police.
District Attorney Stephen Tyler said he has not been contacted by police. However, Tyler told the Advocate that if authorities determine Robinson committed criminal wrongdoing, moral wrongdoing or violated department policy, he could face a variety of charges including official oppression, injury to elderly, aggravated assault or assault.
The Associated Press was not able to reach Robinson for comment, Huffington Post reported Monday.

Fucking liars. See for yourself at the 1:10 mark …. the copfuk is going straight for the old man’s arms to twist them behind his back to handcuff him.
Doesn’t this copfuk have a father or grandfather??
I hope the faggotfuk copfuk loses his job, or if he keeps it that he dies in a traffic accident ….. hit by a 77 year old woman driving a Hummer.
Tazed twice???? What if the old man was wearing a pace maker? He might be dead now. I’m sure Jesse, Eric, and Al would have demanded justice.
Another douche bag cop that deserves to be in jail.
Chicano Lives Matter!
Hope the copfuk loses his job AND does time for assault.
Nazi copfuk…
So much of a pussy, he has to resort to bullying the elderly…
When he’s such a fucking MONUMENTAL PUSSY that he can’t handle a 76 year old man, he has to pull a Tazer…
Then there’s the whole ‘license plate’ issue…
If Nazi Copfuk were in any way competent, he would have known that dealer plates are exempt… which means this whole thing happened because that stupid Nazi motherfucker was and is INCOMPETENT.
Look at the little faggot… one of those “I got picked on in High School mercilessly, so I’m gonna be a copfuk and dish out payback to the World” types…
Little maniacal bully Nazi bastards like this one deserve to be curb stomped…
I hope Old Dude sues the shit out of the department and wins so big, they will never be able to afford to hire another motherfucker again… and that the Nazi piece of shit who tazed him gets chucked in prison and ass-raped until he prolapses…

What an absolutely wonderful example of restraint. Imagine what had happened if instead of using moderate force and some taser, that this officer had behaved as those did against Mike Brown or Garner!! That poor old guy would have wound up dead!
Maybe this means officers are rapidly learning to just not shoot up the folks first, and rely on the grand jury to get them out of a jam? A little ground and pound, and humane tazing, an everybody goes home at the end of the day.
Is it really the cops fault he doesn’t know jack shit about the law? These guys are out there putting their boots on our necks 24/7/365, just trying to keep us safe.
fuckingcopfuckfucker.
@ John,
See, there we were, united in hatred against bully copfuks… and then you had to go and bring up Saint Mike Brown and that cigarette peddling asshole Garner…
Don’t… just fucking don’t…
I ain’t in the mood…
Good God, I was just having fun about cops not understanding the law………
WASHINGTON (AP) — Police can use evidence seized during a traffic stop even if it turns out the officers initially pulled a car over based on a misunderstanding of the law, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.

Taxpayers pay. It’s like getting double fucked.
Hold the copfuk personally responsible. Deduct money from his paycheck for the rest of his life if necessary. Send him to debtors prison. At a minimum make the copfuk union pay. Pretty sure that if you hit them where it hurts ($$$) that such incidents would greatly decrease. Won’t happen though … makes too much sense.
they should fire that idiot just for listening to rap music while he’s working. I’m a big advocate of second chances, particularly where peoples livelihood are at stake. Not here. Fire him. Charge him with assault. He is not fit to be a cop. What a disgrace.
What a douche-bag!! That guy needs to have a 10 inch screwdriver shoved into his eye. Then an M80 shoved into his bunghole. He must feel really proud, the fucking bastard.
The cop was just doing his duty. Eric Holder has ordered that 72% (demographic) of all police shootings and arm twistings must be performed on white people, regardless of age, sex, perverted persuasion, or criminality.
I hope the old man files a civil lawsuit, he’ll win hands down. This cop should be fired forthwith.
The cop was just doing his job. Whipping up on 76 year olds was part of his training. He was also trained to eat donuts, drink coffee, have sex in the back seat of his patrol car and break in line at McDonald’s to get his free coffee and sausage,egg and buscuit.
You can clearly see the old man was resisting so the officer had no choice but to kick his ass .Damn old farts think they can do anything and get away with it.Let this be a lesson to all old people.You old fuckers better wise up or you’re next.
GOD bless the police officers that keep of safe from trouble makers no matter the age.

Your shit is getting old. Really really old. Would you mind taking a flying fuck off a tall building?
Stuck – first, I have stopped reading bb’s posts. He just loves to play the dumbfuck, and he is really good at it.
Second, I am not billah’s wife.
TBP would be better without them. But, like barnacles, seems they are stuck on the ass of progress.
I recommend we ignore them.
The sad part is that if the cop gets fired he’ll go to some small town, become a cop there and start the whole cycle again.
After the Eric G. incident one of the news show had a cop on as a commentator . The moderator said that he had shot 11 people in the line of duty,5 died ….my thoughts were at what point does someone realize that when you have shot multiples of citizens it’s time to get rid the cop in question .
Stucky , Lipoh ,….. Cool down Meatheads. I was just kidding. Sometimes you guys are just to serious.Way to serious.
Once we understand the cops are now employed to protect the politicians, banksters, and corporations and have no concern about us, does all this stuff start to make sense.
We get sodomized by the three groups, and through our taxes pay for all their salaries as well as a militarized police force to protect them.
Have you counted the number of police in your local community lately, scrutinized their salaries and retirement plans, counted how many marked and unmarked cars they have, the fuel bills for them.?
You don’t want to go there unless you are a masochist.
Golden…we’ll all get a big laugh when the cops pension plans go bust along with most of the retirement promises that municipal governments have made. I can see it now….a retired cop says ” I busted a lot of heads for my pension and now I’m only getting 10 cents on the dollar ” !
Hi Buckhed, Sure hope your right.
Only problem is when I look at Greece, Spain, most places where TSHTF, I always notice politicians being driven around in Limos on their way to an escargot and champagne luncheon meeting, with scores of militarized police, well fed, with plenty of weaponry and tear gas to protect them. While the protestors and people taking to the streets to show their anger are sprayed with gas, tasered, shot at with rubber bullets, beat over the heads with clubs etc, while the politicians enjoy their luncheon meeting; all smiling and dressed like movie stars.
Arguing on the internet is like running in the special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still retarded.

You make good comments at times. (Dear Lawd, please don’t smite me for saying that!).
Your problem is TIMING. You just don’t know when to be a smart-ass, and when not to be.
“Is it really the cops fault he doesn’t know jack shit about the law?
Absolutely. Would the 76-year old man have been forgiven for not having a required sticker if it were his mistake and he thought he didn’t need one?
“Ignorance of the law is no excuse, unless you are the law”, should NOT be public policy.
