Injustice is a virus. Stop it early and often, which is why the protests against police using lethal force as a first choice in nonlethal situations serve all of us.

Tasing kills. The old guy is lucky to be alive after being electrocuted. This is Americaâs problem. You think itâs okay for cops to hurt and kill people. Cops have been doing this for a long time. Youtube and technology has made it available for the average sheep to see for once. Thatâs why the cops and unions donât think anything is wrong.

Just like the others. A man is hauled down by authority for a very petty ( in this case no ) offense and it ends up in violence. A cop with a âhigh and tightâ hair cut, pegged shirt sleeves and âbad assâ shades gets pissed off at what he feels is an affront to his authorityâŚnot the law. The cop was wrong on the law as we all know. It was his ego that was bruised by a citizen that didnât show immediate deference to him.
It got violent because the cop got mad and tried to grab an object out of the manâs hand and the man reacted reflexively to that violent act: he pulled away. The âhigh and tightâ sporting cop then loses it and tases a 76 year old manâŚtwice when he is on the ground.
âhe acted within standard police policyâŚno disciplinary action will be takenââŚwanna bet it goes down differently?

âPublic trust is extremely important to us,â
Not as important as notching your belt with unnecessary arrests though apparently.
Yea Bi0tch.
I know that when the Ghost replies to me Iâm done for. Looking for nearest bridge to cast my dead-beat brother from. Problem solved.
76-year-olds are known for their lightening fast reflexes and super acute auditory senseâŚClearly by pulling away, the cunning senior was about to launch his killer attack. Hopefully no one will make smart remarks about police behavior here and force the Victoria, TX police union to haul out the crying towelsâŚ

In that case, hereâs three more:
âAs Robinson went to grab Vasquezâs arm, he pulled away.â
ââŚmoving to arrest Vasquez after point to the back of the carâŚâ
ââŚThe video then shows Robinson pointing a Taser at Vasquez, who out of the dashcamâs view.â

Why does the cop have the right to grab the guyâs arm? heâs not arresting him. You canât be arrested for having an expired inspection sticker. the guy had every reason to resist.
Asshole cop

Uncalled for. TPMâs editing is atrocious and pointing it out hardly merits that kind of response. You can ignore all the glaring proofreading errors but you canât ignore someone pointing one out?

Is the original charge, which apparently was never actually completed, actually an offense that includes arrest and custody? That seems pretty extreme. Iâm liking Texas less and less every day. Itâs on the top of my Donât Ever Go There listâŚand with a star now.

If this 76 year old man was my Father iâd be dead now due to me shoving that tazer up that cops ass while curb-stomping his stupid face into hamburger.
I blame hip hop.
