How about not taxing anyone who is being compliant. How about knocking on the door and announcing it's the police. He brought the sword because he didn't know who was on the other side of the door. He did nothing wrong. The cops believed the drugged up female and did not interview this man for his side of the story.
@Tashuna Ray He put the weapon down like they asked. Maybe the corrupt tyrants should ANNOUNCE who the fuck they are when they bang on a door after a potential civil domestic incident but hey, the fuck do I know?
Tasing took years off his life. That should be taken to consideration in the court. No deals, prison time for the criminal that tased harmless old man.
Happens thousands of time each and every day...nothing new here....Authority Figures have Qualified immunity.....they cant get sued...its against the law...
This is what happen when things like this keep happening for decades to black and brown people and it's just swept under the table as if nothing happ ened. These are the behaviors that put thousands of innocent people away for years. While the criminals get promotion's and let loose. At is age only monsters would even think of doing that to a person regarding what race he or she is. This is to show that there are many monsters in the system who are making a career out of things like this. Until the good officer's who have to witness these behavior from their partners, do something or the communities will be always in danger, if not, things will never change and you also will be as guilty as the monsters. At least you'll be doing something positive before your time comes to an end on the planet.
The cops told him to put the weapon down and he put it on top of the bookcase. The dirty cop took it after he tased him and put it in the hallway. It was found that the intoxicated girl lied!!! False reporting. He wasn’t the one who smacked her!!! The only ones not guilty are the older man and the dog!!!! Also, he SHOULD NOT nor his insurance be charged by the hospital!!! Should be a nice lawsuit on his side!!!
Absolutely, his lying neighbor should be prosecuted as well as the police officers. It just amazes me that the police did even try to get his story and assess the situation. The officers should definitely be fired for trying to pretend he came at them with the sword.
We cannot trust cops nowadays. They are not your friend. They are allowed to lie to us, but we can be prosecuted for lying to them. Best way to make sure you don't lie to them accidentally is just don't talk to them, don't answer questions. Nothing you say is going to help you. I bet they tell their own kids this. They're trained to make you nervous so you start gushing words. Just get used to silence except to say "Am I under arrest or am I free to go".
-> In defense of this man and ... Boomers, really. They grew up in a different era when the police were "respected", at least by the white majority. Fortunately, since tech is on the rise, we're now able to record. The hard reality is that police powers have gone unchecked due to laziness and a downward economy (rising inflation and stagnant wages) causes people to behave differently because the amount of work required to obtain a living is steadily rising. People are still working 40 hours a week but being paid less and less, and realizing their purchasing power is in the gutters. It's a dynamic. It's not... one or two variables. It's several thousand at least. But the above only explains the perspective from whites. Blacks and many other non-white minorities have known that police violence is indeed happening, but it was the white counterpart that never wanted to suggest such. Fortunately tech has supported this minority claim and unfortunately whites were too smug to notice. Today, it seems like everyone is a victim, no matter the race or ethnicity. They need their quotas to stock the for-profit prisons, in order to receive annual kickbacks from these contracts held between the government and private prisons. Tax payers, pay a fine to the private prisons if they fall below stock (quota). You didn't know this? Maybe it's time to get our heads out our asses and pay attention a little better. Ask those hard questions and enforce accountability of public servants. OOH-RAH?! I don't know about you, but as a former Marine, myself, it's clear to me our nation has quickly regressed into a security state. And if you haven't noticed, since the American people are never represented by public officials, we essentially have another "taxation without representation" among the reality that everything in this nation revolves around money. Ethics? What do ethics mean when money is worshipped? It's thrown out the window of course. Thus our republic has slowly transitioned into an oligarchy paid for by the subjects (us, citizens), without their (our) consent, while Congressional leaders allow shit like the Patriot Act to pass, removing the fourth amendment, or at least reinterpreting it, to essentially disable it for their (government) convenience, creating a security state in the process.
If I were him I would insist on a trial, at 75 years old, I would forego any settlement just to get the video of the lying ass police in front of a jury.
The Old Gentleman is right there are a lot of homeless out there and they will come in and harm the elderly. We have to protect our elderly and our babies, it's an all-out assault on them. Seeing what happened to him makes me pissed as hell.
Cops need to stop assuming someone's guilty of something, just because someone's told them they are. He didn't even get a chance to tell his side of the story.
Even worse, they never even asked the Woman if this was the man she was accusing. They got a description of an old man. They asked the accuser where he lived; she said she didn’t know. The husband; who was not an eyewitness said he lived next door. At the time they arrested him, they had no confirmation that he was the one she was accusing. These Idaho Springs police officers are the type of people who should never be in a position of authority over other people.
@@Necropheliac She had plenty of time to tell them that they had the wrong person! Little sh’t stirring Karen lied, & Mr Clark almost died because of it.
NOBODY should be subjected to this type of treatment by anybody. Michael is lucky he white - poc go through this injustice hourly and often pay with their lives!!!
Come ON JULIE! He obvious did something bad and it's just now catching up w/ him! Had He been black/brown this interview wouldn't be happening cause he'd be dead already!
@@Goudegirl what the HELL does that have to do with race! I am one of the first ones to stand up against brutality of any kind but especially police brutality and sometimes it actually has NOTHING to do with race. Try watching the video and the cracked out chick who called the police and then watch that cop simply tase him because he said he wouldn’t get on the ground in the hall all while he was only wearing his underwear. I would be just as pissed off if he had been yellow, brown, black or Green!! Wrong is wrong it’s not always about fucking color
This poor man was only trying to get rest and to think of this awful ordeal that he went through is absolutely heartbreaking! I hope he gets justice!!!
@@vonakenyon7981 Exactly, and also with the injuries and illnesses that he suffered as a result of the caller's and the officers' actions, he might not even live to the day where he will see justice. It's possible that he doesn't have a lot to live anymore and only his surviving relatives will see some sort of justice, which is so sad and appalling. The guy deserved none of what happened to him.
It was so obvious that she was lying. How the hell is she walking around free when he can't walk because of her. He should sue her as well as the cops.
@@vonakenyon7981 The cop should be locked up he sure made is mind up pretty quick about who was going to jail I just wonder wat his farther would think about this.
It is two flunky ass pieces of shit that’s ended this mans independance. The crazy thing is you have still got that sorry ass Ellie summers running around with a weapon in her hand!
@Tashuna Ray Lady you Don't even know me and are basically calling me something I've never been. I don't want any color person harmed. My children and grandchildren have had to put up with racist assholes our hole lives and I'm tired if it. Know who you accusing before you speak.
This poor guy was just trying to sleep and all this happened to him. That woman was punched by her husband and tried to blame it on the neighbor who told her to be quite.
I'm not sure she was even punched. There was no blood or evidence of assault from what I could see in the original video. The only thing I saw wrong with her was the meth she appeared to be on made her look like a fool.
It’s interesting that the elderly gent says ‘it sounded like THEY were coming through the wall’. Yet when the neighbors are telling their story, the man claims to ‘not have been there. He had to come home...’. To me it sounds like they are covering up a domestic, and trying to blame it on the elderly gent?
They assaulted him AND framed him for assault with the sword, both cops, nothing was done properly. Both thugs MUST be charged and made sure they NEVER wear a badge again. And give me 15 minutes alone with them in a room for a RE-MODELING of their faces.
If you do it right just a few minutes could be made to seem like days 😉 I would definitely get creative just for these two domestic terrorist criminal thugs in the clown costumes
The old man's only hope to enjoy the outdoors now is to have so much money he can have a wheelchair accessible truck and an aid to follow him around to make sure his wheelchair doesn't get stuck or turn over.
Yes please share source of film, we need to rally, share and keep the heat on them so they cannot delay and get away The way we REACT and ACTIVATE will get them fired and charged
I sincerely hope Mr. Clark recovers from this ordeal & lives a good long time from now. His tears at the end broke my heart. Peace & blessings to him💗.
I am so sorry that you had to endure this nightmare, and now you have damage to your body!?!? How horrific!! Praying for your health and this outcome!!
It’s surprising to me that there are people shocked by what happened to this poor man when, in reality, this happens throughout the USA each and every day. I understand many are not personally affected by police brutality, abuse of power and excessive force but that does not mean what happened to this man is an anomaly.
They are doing it to elderly white men now , so they have cross the line 🥸🥸it was ok as long as it’s people of color.this should not happen to anyone at all. Pray that this man not be bound to this chair because of the officers now heart problems caused a stroke this is awful to happen to anyone
That's terrible, and shouldn't happen to ANYONE, ESPECIALLY THE ELDERLY, but this was absolutely OUTRAGEOUS! I hope this guy files a civil suit against these officer's!
Police are taser happy, so they may need to have some strick rules when it is used. It should be never used on children or senior citizens. Police should be able to handle children and elderly without a taser.
Strict rules on use of lasers won't stop those cowards from hurting innocent people. Just as laws against convicted felons owning guns does not stop gang members from using firearms in their criminal activity. The ONLY aswer to stop those particular police who are bully cowards is to charge and prosecute them ttfeotl. The more who are exposed and serve out maximum prison time, the fewer innocent people will be brutilized by them. They don't have any decent moral code, doing whatever evil makes the feel great at the time. There is no limit to their dishonesty. Planting evidence and lying are commonplace among them. Fear of being imprisoned is the only thing that can stoooiiuuuuu
The original charge of assault by the woman should be fully investigated...and the law should be applied to the full extent...give us more about this case.
I called he police department. They have closed case. Mr Clark's charges were dropped, No charges filed for false 911 report. If I were a resident of Idaho Springs I think this case needs to be open, as there are so many inconsistancies with her report.
@@sailguy2010 people have been using the 911 system to swat neighbors and complete strangers and the public is aware of it. But certain rogue cops use welfare checks and bogus 911 calls for personal gratification and straight up predatory behavior. ACAB
@@cgall4444 They also took the sword from the top of the cabinet where he put it and put it on the ground near him to justify tazing him. They fabricated evidence while even having it all on body cams.
It’s heartbreaking this man like many others that we don’t even know had been mistreated and probably even dead do to police negligence and unlawful behavior. I hope that he can recover and put this somehow behind him and gets enjoy the rest of his years to come so he can forget somehow such a horrible experience 😔💕
This isn't the first time when police attacked seniors. They had no idea what his medical conditions were. That tazing could have killed him. As a senior I understand how upsetting it can be.
To be elderly is a different speed of physical reaction and different hearing and a very different bodily healing time. They also have very different fears of assault or harm against them then the average younger person. Police and everyone dealing with them SHOULD have to put themselves in there shoes same as when dealing with a child. The elderly put down his protection stick as told and was of NO danger to the officer who has a gun taser camera and partner and at least half his age.. so where was the threat????. So why taser him??The harsh action taken against this 75 yr old man was unacceptable just on that basis. Police didn’t take special care when even handling him. Roughing him around and dragging him. What if it was his grandfather. After 75 years old.. he has earned the right to not fear his safety against police. Did the officer ask for his ID to pull him his or the girl history?? The girl sounded high or drunk.. was that even thought of when she could have pressed false charges against the old man just to get him back for yelling to turn noice down?? Which does happen. And officer accuses old man of being drunk but not the obvious women. It’s just a horrible scene to see someone accused of a crime in 19 seconds tased rolled and pounds head and dragged him like he was an armed shooter. He was completely alone unlike the officers and the girl who now had the partner and dog. This man was completely defenseless and the officer found it necessary to taser him??. every year to an old person past 75 is not guaranteed and they are so fradgle. Police didn’t give the man a chance to even speak to explain what happen or ask why are you arresting me and also police just accused him of what he did. Police didn’t look at the mans hands for bruises or marks or ask him why he did that. The police was his judge and jury and that was just heartbreaking to watch this officer take this senior citizens rights away in all his actions. Horrible for this to happen to anyone..especially the most vulnerable children women and the elderly. And most of all sad at the treatment of our elderly. *** I found Addition footage of the girl being interviewed AFTER elderly is the ambulance on LackLuster “cop fired and charged for insane use of force” she is clearly on something and is threatening violence against the elderly and says she and later sent her boyfriend to harass the elderly man by pounding on his door. So when police go and pound on his door WITHOUT announcing themselves as police and hide on the sides of the door at 11pm past any elderly bed time.. it’s clear why the elderly was armed as he opened the door. He has been harassed and threatened by the girl and the boyfriend that night. Absolutely FRIGHTENING chain of events. If that was me ALONE at night ..of course you don’t answer the door unarmed after all that. I have witnessed so many times younger people verbally scaring old people and threatening them and it so completely understandable what fear the elderly had. Listen to the girl in this video on LackLuster.. she is threatening as soon as he gets out on bond to put him under!! That she will be waiting for him and looking for him.. imagine being 75 years old with no record and not even the police will listen to you???!!! And the girl has a record of stabbing and violence! It’s Insane what happened
@@paul2019monte watch additional footage on LackLuster “cop fired and charged for insane use of force” the girl non stop threatening against the old man and is so obviously on something and lying. Says blood everywhere.. yet no blood. Office says he sees no evidence of even a punch to her face. Police work is to asses situation. Find proof.. calm a situation.. this is non of that. Sad and scary
@@marthatx1 I did see another video with that nasty neighbor woman crying to the cops in the hallway that she had been hit. It's obvious that she is on something or really drunk. And yes no evidence of blood or any indication she had been struck. The EMT said the same thing. I can't believe they listen to her to start with much less waking him up tasing him and dragging him out of his home into that hallway. And that POS woman never even tried to stop what was happening. She needs to be charged and sued too. Really frightening the treatment of an elderly person. I can't believe they did that to him. It does remind me of the woman thrown to the ground and handcuffed with her shoulder dislocated. I would never in my life treat an older person or anyone for that matter in this way. There's some kind of evil here. It is scary.
I bet his comment about homeless people may have referred to the traffic that was in and out of his building visiting that apartment next door for some reason. Neighbors like her are nightmares and always bully everyone else where they live. Rotten people
@@marthatx1 Found the Lackluster video. She's the one talking trash about what she's going to do to him. If they'd just taken the guy away how much do you bet that they would have been in his place emptying it?
What about that neighbour lady, who started this ordeal on this elderly man? Did she get any indictment, for falsifying accusations? All the best, strength and respect to Mr. Michael Clark. 💜🙏
This is ONE of the most "saddest, ridiculous" situation I've ever seen, and on an ELDERLY PERSON????? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE POLICE IN THIS COUNTRY??????
It's either Fort Collins Greeley or Loveland cops broke a lady's shoulder for stealing $7 worth of flowers from Walmart. She had dementia and no clue what was going on when the officers back at the station watch they were laughing and enjoying the popping sound it made
So sorry this was done to you. Take away the departments qualified immunity, the thin blue line, hoped you are lawyered up. God bless you & I pray for the healing of your heart.
I've been working with senior citizens for 9 years I can tell you by the video 📹 I saw.. When the cops 👮♂️👮♀️ knocked on his door 🚪 you can tell that this Gentleman was confused startled and did not know what was going on.. and then to have a bright flash light in his face he could not see.. that alone in my eyes with my experience tells me that these cops did not care at all about him and his side of his story .. they violated this senior citizens rights.. this is called elder abuse. Which is mental abuse. physical abuse, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, neglect, negligence, and because he was tazed.. for trying to explain his story.. This has caused him long term psychological effects + physical injuries on top of already being not well originally as he stated. . These cops should be ashamed of themselves. Treating people this way.. I feel really upset and mad at how this Gentleman was treated. . They messed him up very badly..
thats the sad part about this shit when they get sued they dont give a shit how much money they have to pay out its not theirs anyways they just go steal it from citizens again
Again I say to FIRE THE POLICE CHIEF this happening on his WATCH and allowing this to happen. The officers NEED firing also and charged for assault with a deadly weapon and do some goal time. Also never to be employed as a policeman in USA. TERRORIST IN POLICE UNIFORMS

IIRC in this instance they knocked but did not identify themselves. Regardless, it’s a bad idea to open the door in the middle of the night without at least asking through the door, “who isn’t it? & “what do you want?”
Cops know that... that's why the two officers stood on either side of the peep hole. The old man didn't know it was the police when he answered the door.. BUT this old guy did viciously attack a woman busting her face up pretty good.
@@thetruepatriot7733 Allegedly. This cop was way out of bounds tazing a naked 75-year old man standing inside of his doorway who was no danger to two strong young cops..... Knocked the guy unconscious when he slammed the back of his head on the floor, then drags him outside into the hallway naked except his shorts! When he regains consciousness the Cop read the man his Miranda rights but didn't bother to tell him what he was being charged with. A number of things wrong with this use of excessive force to make an arrest! Hope he won his case.

They handcuffed him behind his back and never rendered aid. What happened to in my custody, in my care? These cops need to be charged heavily for this horrifying assault. Elder abuse to begin with.

Did u grab it out of my room"? And they wouldn't answer Because they knew they planted it to make it look like he came out into the hallway after them with a Machete
She said she was bleeding all over the place. Her top was suspicioulsy clean for someone that bled all over the place. Those 2 were lying and decided to set him up after he aked them to quiet down. I agree with an earler comment but it was probably them having a scuffle. Bumping into stuff and that was what he heard
@@paulvisage2311 She lied. The boy friend said he was outside. We don’t know what happened. She probably was crying because he banged the wall back and because she was drunk. There was no blood though.
The female officer should be fired also, she stated that he was tased because he had a weapon at the time he was was tasered. Police do this crap all the time and never get caught. I am glad they got caught this time. Pay This Man What Is Due To Him!
It's also possible that he won't even be alive anymore when this is all over due to his drastically diminishing health conditions as a result of the attack, sadly.
Another article that goes into the affidavit. I am still in shock that Officer Ellie Summers is still a police officer. I am also suprised that the woman reporting this isn't facing criminal charges, It appears she was drunk or on drugs, she threatend to kill Clark, lots of inconsistancies in her story, and she is getting away with it.
people use cops as a weapon against other people they don't like. false complaints are crimes but they are rarely pursed by DAs and cops don't seem to care, as long as they can abuse and arrest as many people as possible.
As long as she is still on the police force and carrying a weapon she is a threat to every person living in Idaho springs. I can’t believe the city government is too stupid to realize she will kill some innocent civilian eventually. Then the govt. will really be in some deep shit and some innocent person dead.
I moved to Colorado to get away from violent, criminal, psychopath cops. Low and behold, I moved from the frying pan (California) [in]to the fire (Colorado). Colorado cops are worse than the tyrant Sheriffs and police in California. You (I) can't go anywhere in Colorado without a cop interaction.

Hey grandpa! I am not sure about Idaho Springs, but sue that city out of their mind and catch some fish for me too. I, with many others are pulling for you. Stay safe and alert!
I watched the video of the original incident. This man was attacked by the 2 officers that came to his door. 1) they did not identify themselves as police when they pounded on his door 2) the new neighbor next door was drunk and accused this gentleman of hitting her in the face. He reported "he never left the apartment, but was awoken by a loud sound". 2) when asked he put down the decorative sword which they kept calling "a machete"
He reminds me of my dad. He was such a sweet, gentle, and kind man. His passion was getting food for the food box at his church...but I saw him take a 2x4 to a Rottweiler that had broke into his backyard and was attacking his little lap dog. The dog ran back through the fence, and dad reinforced the fence like Fort Knox. He passed in 2016. I miss him every day.
They didn’t even investigate, they heard the women’s version (or rather fantasy) and just tased him without asking a single solitary question. Frankly the woman should be reported for filing a false report at least. If you watch the video of her talking to the cops after he has gone to the hospital she is all over the place with her so called assault, of which there was no sign. Additionally she changed her information. Those two cops should be fired at least and never allowed to hold a badge ever again
@@NaveDelAmor there was a body cam video circulating showing police interaction with the woman after the older gentleman was taken to hospital.

I hope that police department has lots of money for that nice man to take. Their behavior is inexcusable and the reason why immunity from prosecution must be overturned. Anyone with a toddler knows that when bad behavior isn’t immediately checked, it only gets worse.
Criminals with badges and guns. The victims first mistake was to trust those criminals. He grew up in a time where some cops were still trust worthy. The criminal next door neighbor should have been arrested and charged for filing a false report and attempted murder. The cops need to be fired and charged with a number of crimes. If they had just taken a minute to look at the criminal woman who filed the complaint did not have a scratch on her, no blood etc. If they had checked they could have seen her very long criminal record which included lying to cops about this sort of thing in the past. I hope he sues the cops personally along with their supervisors, and the city and the cops union who protects these criminals. He deserves millions.
The fact that these officers picked up the "sword" that he put back on the shelf as he was laying on the floor fighting for his life, and dropped it along his side to make it seem like he was the attacker, and charged him with third degree assault, yet didn't even do a background check on a woman who filed a false police report on him is beyond fucked up. They all need to rot.
Just because hes "still alive" does not diminish the injustice done to him and he may now have PTSD because he had the audacity to answer his door. Its sad others haven't been as lucky but must he die for people to care what happened to HIM?
He could have easily been murdered by these criminal, abusive, corrupt cops. Any follow up from the corrupt police department? A major problem is bad cops get fired and then simply move to a different place and continue their behavior, that needs to stop.
I have a LEO friend who once told me that when he completed his academy training and as they handed him and his other classmates their badges, they told them, "This is the closest you have ever been to going to jail." Ironically, this gets proved over and over as meathead LEO Nicholas Hanning, who has been fired, now faces class 6 felony charges of third-degree assault on an at-risk adult which carries a penalty of 18 months in prison and up to $100,000 fine. Furthermore, the Idaho Springs PD now has to contend with a lawsuit that will be very costly in bad PR, lawyer fees, and the ultimate award.
Guess who will pay to settle the lawsuit that this elderly man will surely win ? The Tax payers. we need to revoke nationwide this Qualified Immunity that Cops have, where their victims can NOT sue the Police Officer in question....Authority walks all over the USA Constitution, what's the recourse ? NOTHING at All...these cops will never see jail or prison.
I wonder how these cops were trained? I met 2 cops in Irving pd in Texas, who had no probable cause, ran my plates and found a 5 year old, traffic bench warrant, followed me into parking garage of my employer, and treated me like I robbed a bank or killed someone. Instead of giving me another ticket, they arrested me at my job. The distance of following me was like a thousand feet and they were on opposite side of road when they ran the front plate at a traffic signal stopped and I was making a left hand turn on green arrow. They are just sick and twisted. They vilolate people's rights and laugh about it. The story got worse as they kept me for for 3 weeks, because I questioned their authority, and I knew they had no probable cause. My mistake was telling them they lied.
I’m so sorry that this veteran senior citizen had to experience this behavior from idiotic cowards, who were obviously anxious to use force on someone. Please tell me they jailed the lying germ posing as an officer.
@J 2130 fired should be the beginning not the end. The DA should press charges for assault with a deadly weapon. Tasers are “less lethal” NOT “non lethal”.
This breaks my heart. Michael Clark is a good man. So much of what happened is disturbing. I saw the original video. The police hid from the door peep hole so as to obscure themselves-this alone would instill suspicion for the occupant behind the door especially at 11pm at night. They did not announce that they were police with knowledge he is 75-what threat is Michael Clark . The alleged victim lied about the assault-police did not care. What kind of subhuman beast tazes and drags like a sack of coal a 75 yr old man from his home. I wish Michael Clark an immediate recovery.
@@nealedmondson3191 so is staging a crime, tampering with evidence, filing a false report and collusion. And if there is any justice left in this country those two will not be officers for much longer and I don't see qualified immunity coming into play on this one for them so it'll be the average citizen on the street soon enough. And I was having to talk threatening somebody. If you haven't seen it check out law abiding citizen Gerard Butler does a great part in interrogation where he makes everybody look dumber than these two cops.
I've had a stroke myself. Two according to MRI. The one I actually noticed having, lost my left side. I've recovered completely, thankfully. Really nice to see he's regained full upper body control. I hope the chair is more because of his age, not a lasting condition. You can't begin to understand how much it sucks to have a limb just turn off like a light until you're on the floor actually talking to your leg. "Work you stupid mother freaking leg."
For me that has a veteran grandpa, this really hit home for me! It hurts my heart to hear this! I hope that those officers never work as a peace officer ever again! They don’t deserved to be saluted by anyone!
Qualified immunity MUST end in this country. Putting LEO on the street with an attitude and weapons with less than 6 months of total training is insanity. A nail tech is required to have more training to give me a manicure than LEO who can carry weapons. Cant the public see that this is wrong?
These officers must be proud of themselves. They beat down a really dangerous elderly man in his own home, for no apparent reason. Yep, we are the government and we are here to help you. NEVER OPEN YOUR DOOR TO THE POLICE!
The person interviewing kept trying to get him to verbalize emotion. He already said he felt violated, confused, etc. Just the facts, Please! This is the problem with the media these days. It’s sad what happened to him, it’s a shame?
Absolutely it is not about his story at all it is there views. Those cops could have saved someone prior to that and it wouldn’t have been mentioned, no excuse for the guy cop
she did lie. and she was the one who was drinking, yet the officer kept asking him...an old man, after being tazed if he was drinking!! wow!! cant they see the real drunk person?? beyond comprehension.
wow.. that is really sad. You can tell he was violated and he was holding back tears at the end of the interview. God speed on your recovery Michael. I hope you get justice.
He grew up in a different time - when you opened the door to find out who was outside. He now knows to not open the door. Whether it’s cops, people pretending to be cops, other types of gang members, dangerous junkies, etc - the result is likely to be what he experienced. Do not open the door and, if the door gets busted open, do what you think is right.
On the body cam footage his hands aren't damaged or bloody as if he's hit someone. Older skin damages very easily and his hands would have been damaged. Plus if you listen to the woman accuser, her speech was slurred as if she was under the influence of something. It's possible she could have fallen, face first, into the wall causing both her injury and the loud bang. As for the man who's apartment it was, there was no proof that he was out walking his dog even though the dog was being held back by a leash. A walked dog would not be as frisky as that dog was. The police assumed too much and did not assess the situation thoroughly, before "blaming" anyone.
I agree, especially if you pay attention to the elderly gents comment regarding the ‘loud bang’. He said “it sounded like THEY were coming through the wall”. Sounds like the man and woman were fighting. But the man, not wanting to be part of a domestic, made up the being out story. *1 vid- the male neighbor says he went over and it was him banging on the gents door. Never the gent pounding on their door. (That would also explain the gent answering the door armed? I believe the gent is suffering some memory loss, he doesn’t mention that the neighbors came to his door, but they did say that to the cops.)
Shameful. When the gentleman says he "lost his security"... That sums up the image the police have at this point... who will protect us from the "protectors"
Poor guy. Tasing affects one's heart no matter what age. Tasing is NOT a viable option for any reason. It negatively affects the heart , too much electricity centered on the heart,which itself could cause cardiac arrest.
I grew up with Grandad and Grandmother, and I have taught digital literacy skills to the elderly for over 25 years since I was 12 years old. I am disgusted beyond calculation at this man's horrific treatment, and if he were my grandfather, my reaction would not have been a tempered one.
I wish he had had someone beside him for the interview, I think he was still a little confused but what he went threw explained his mindset. I hope these two cops are charged with assault and are never cops again, JAIL TIME!
He needed to be able to express himself. It is hard watching what this attack has caused not only with his health but also his cognitive and mental health! His life has been hell for the last 66 days and we are no where near done. They absolutely deserve jail time!
Looks like he will be charged, she is still on the force. She helped set up the scene and made the claim on her radio that he came after them with a machete.
Nothing worse than bad cops except bad parents. And to attack an elder or child is heinous. May they get to learn from experience what they did wrong. Karma is King.
I’d love to be alone with the two “officers” in a room for 5 minutes. I’ll show them what happens to cowards who attack elderly people who pose no threat to them. I’ll make sure at a minimum they will need assistance for the rest of their lives.
Hasn't anyone ever noticed! The people that become cops are the ones who were bully in school! I knew a few kids that got pick on and they became police to get even. I remember one cop saying the same thing. Most people that become cop were picked on as kids and this is the only way to get respect! And cops do stick together! I know I dated a cop! And yes they have quota's
Ya ......now paid to bully. They an the chief 1st need to be stripped an fired. Debt to citizens is not an option. Folks dont necessarily want rid of or defund. In this town yes..the governor mayor an chief must go....jail time instead of 6 figured golden parachute ..
Ironically, your attitude will make it so your depiction of the police comes true. This is because reasonable people won't become cops if society, and people like you, pre-label them as bad people. Your mentality is called ''prejudice,'' and in my view it's being intentionally orchestrated by corporate media like MSNBC and other propaganda dispensers who intend to defund the police. Since no one could possibly be THAT braindead, it's got to be due to a movement which intends to flatten this country to third world status.
When a cop uses a taser to apprehend a 75 year old man, it's time to take the tasers away from them. What an embarrassment to law enforcement. Cop's love using their damn taser for everything. The reason people are turning against cop's is this kind of unlawful activity. There is no way I would trust a Cop to do the right thing anymore. I hope this gentlemen owns a mansion and the cop with the taser or both are fired after this case is settled!

This is what happen when things like this keep happening for decades to black and brown people and it's just swept under the table as if nothing happ ened. These are the behaviors that put thousands of innocent people away for years. While the criminals get promotion's and let loose. At is age only monsters would even think of doing that to a person regarding what race he or she is. This is to show that there are many monsters in the system who are making a career out of things like this. Until the good officer's who have to witness these behavior from their partners, do something or the communities will be always in danger, if not, things will never change and you also will be as guilty as the monsters. At least you'll be doing something positive before your time comes to an end on the planet.
This poor man, it’s absolutely horrible what they have done to him, they robbed him of the small happinesses he had left in life.
The cops told him to put the weapon down and he put it on top of the bookcase. The dirty cop took it after he tased him and put it in the hallway. It was found that the intoxicated girl lied!!! False reporting. He wasn’t the one who smacked her!!! The only ones not guilty are the older man and the dog!!!!
Also, he SHOULD NOT nor his insurance be charged by the hospital!!! Should be a nice lawsuit on his side!!!

Should be a nice lawsuit on his side!!! MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND PIGS IN PRISON
@@BirdWhisperer46 The video showing the Police abusing him is difficult to watch. He deserves justice and rewards.
Absolutely, his lying neighbor should be prosecuted as well as the police officers. It just amazes me that the police did even try to get his story and assess the situation. The officers should definitely be fired for trying to pretend he came at them with the sword.
@@elizabethgrogan8553 where is the video
"I trusted the police officers to be honest"
....Well, see, now that's problem right there.
We cannot trust cops nowadays. They are not your friend. They are allowed to lie to us, but we can be prosecuted for lying to them. Best way to make sure you don't lie to them accidentally is just don't talk to them, don't answer questions. Nothing you say is going to help you. I bet they tell their own kids this. They're trained to make you nervous so you start gushing words. Just get used to silence except to say "Am I under arrest or am I free to go".
Right! Black folk learned from the beginning that doesn't work...
You cannot trust the police
-> In defense of this man and ... Boomers, really. They grew up in a different era when the police were "respected", at least by the white majority. Fortunately, since tech is on the rise, we're now able to record. The hard reality is that police powers have gone unchecked due to laziness and a downward economy (rising inflation and stagnant wages) causes people to behave differently because the amount of work required to obtain a living is steadily rising. People are still working 40 hours a week but being paid less and less, and realizing their purchasing power is in the gutters. It's a dynamic. It's not... one or two variables. It's several thousand at least.
But the above only explains the perspective from whites. Blacks and many other non-white minorities have known that police violence is indeed happening, but it was the white counterpart that never wanted to suggest such. Fortunately tech has supported this minority claim and unfortunately whites were too smug to notice.
Today, it seems like everyone is a victim, no matter the race or ethnicity. They need their quotas to stock the for-profit prisons, in order to receive annual kickbacks from these contracts held between the government and private prisons. Tax payers, pay a fine to the private prisons if they fall below stock (quota).
You didn't know this? Maybe it's time to get our heads out our asses and pay attention a little better. Ask those hard questions and enforce accountability of public servants. OOH-RAH?!
I don't know about you, but as a former Marine, myself, it's clear to me our nation has quickly regressed into a security state. And if you haven't noticed, since the American people are never represented by public officials, we essentially have another "taxation without representation" among the reality that everything in this nation revolves around money.
Ethics? What do ethics mean when money is worshipped? It's thrown out the window of course. Thus our republic has slowly transitioned into an oligarchy paid for by the subjects (us, citizens), without their (our) consent, while Congressional leaders allow shit like the Patriot Act to pass, removing the fourth amendment, or at least reinterpreting it, to essentially disable it for their (government) convenience, creating a security state in the process.
@ I agree with you, Robert. A thoughtful post, thank you. A clarification question- by security state do you mean a police state?
The da does NOT want this man in front of any jury. Ever.
How do you fiqure? The body cam is already out and the at fault cop fired and charged

Even worse, they never even asked the Woman if this was the man she was accusing. They got a description of an old man. They asked the accuser where he lived; she said she didn’t know. The husband; who was not an eyewitness said he lived next door. At the time they arrested him, they had no confirmation that he was the one she was accusing.

The woman was clearly on something too, which makes her an UNRELIABLE witness . The cop is an idiot .
I'm not sure she was even punched. There was no blood or evidence of assault from what I could see in the original video. The only thing I saw wrong with her was the meth she appeared to be on made her look like a fool.
It’s interesting that the elderly gent says ‘it sounded like THEY were coming through the wall’. Yet when the neighbors are telling their story, the man claims to ‘not have been there. He had to come home...’.

That's terrible, and shouldn't happen to ANYONE, ESPECIALLY THE ELDERLY, but this was absolutely OUTRAGEOUS! I hope this guy files a civil suit against these officer's!
This man needs to get a good lawyer and make the two cops accountable.
Don't let the cops get away with it. Cops continue this behavior because no one makes the bad ones accountable.
Police are taser happy, so they may need to have some strick rules when it is used. It should be never used on children or senior citizens. Police should be able to handle children and elderly without a taser.
These creeps do this because it makes them feel strong as they are really 2 very weak persons. Pulling a gun out makes them feel strong!.
Using a TASER should be treated the same as using the firearm. Might make officers reconsider how freely they use them.
Strict rules on use of lasers won't stop those cowards from hurting innocent people.
Just as laws against convicted felons owning guns does not stop gang members from using firearms in their
criminal activity.
The ONLY aswer to stop those particular police who are bully cowards is to charge and prosecute them ttfeotl.
The more who are exposed and serve out maximum prison time, the fewer innocent people will be brutilized by them.

This isn't the first time when police attacked seniors. They had no idea what his medical conditions were. That tazing could have killed him. As a senior I understand how upsetting it can be.
To be elderly is a different speed of physical reaction and different hearing and a very different bodily healing time. They also have very different fears of assault or harm against them then the average younger person. Police and everyone dealing with them SHOULD have to put themselves in there shoes same as when dealing with a child. The elderly put down his protection stick as told and was of NO danger to the officer who has a gun taser camera and partner and at least half his age.. so where was the threat????. So why taser him??The harsh action taken against this 75 yr old man was unacceptable just on that basis. Police didn’t take special care when even handling him. Roughing him around and dragging him. What if it was his grandfather. After 75 years old.. he has earned the right to not fear his safety against police. Did the officer ask for his ID to pull him his or the girl history?? The girl sounded high or drunk.. was that even thought of when she could have pressed false charges against the old man just to get him back for yelling to turn noice down?? Which does happen. And officer accuses old man of being drunk but not the obvious women. It’s just a horrible scene to see someone accused of a crime in 19 seconds tased rolled and pounds head and dragged him like he was an armed shooter. He was completely alone unlike the officers and the girl who now had the partner and dog. This man was completely defenseless and the officer found it necessary to taser him??. every year to an old person past 75 is not guaranteed and they are so fradgle. Police didn’t give the man a chance to even speak to explain what happen or ask why are you arresting me and also police just accused him of what he did. Police didn’t look at the mans hands for bruises or marks or ask him why he did that. The police was his judge and jury and that was just heartbreaking to watch this officer take this senior citizens rights away in all his actions. Horrible for this to happen to anyone..especially the most vulnerable children women and the elderly. And most of all sad at the treatment of our elderly.
*** I found Addition footage of the girl being interviewed AFTER elderly is the ambulance on LackLuster “cop fired and charged for insane use of force” she is clearly on something and is threatening violence against the elderly and says she and later sent her boyfriend to harass the elderly man by pounding on his door. So when police go and pound on his door WITHOUT announcing themselves as police and hide on the sides of the door at 11pm past any elderly bed time.. it’s clear why the elderly was armed as he opened the door. He has been harassed and threatened by the girl and the boyfriend that night. Absolutely FRIGHTENING chain of events. If that was me ALONE at night ..of course you don’t answer the door unarmed after all that. I have witnessed so many times younger people verbally scaring old people and threatening them and it so completely understandable what fear the elderly had. Listen to the girl in this video on LackLuster.. she is threatening as soon as he gets out on bond to put him under!! That she will be waiting for him and looking for him.. imagine being 75 years old with no record and not even the police will listen to you???!!! And the girl has a record of stabbing and violence!

I can't believe they listen to her to start with much less waking him up tasing him and dragging him out of his home into that hallway. And that POS woman never even tried to stop what was happening. She needs to be charged and sued too. Really frightening the treatment of an elderly person. I can't believe they did that to him.

This is ONE of the most "saddest, ridiculous" situation I've ever seen, and on an ELDERLY PERSON????? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE POLICE IN THIS COUNTRY??????
It's either Fort Collins Greeley or Loveland cops broke a lady's shoulder for stealing $7 worth of flowers from Walmart. She had dementia and no clue what was going on when the officers back at the station watch they were laughing and enjoying the popping sound it made
@@TheRealSovereignCitizens This is why I laugh my ass off every time a domestic terrorist swine gets executed.

I pray that cops ; pigs get there’s or there love ones get either way I’ll smile about every dead one .
There’s only 500.000 of them and there’s 325 million of us we need to stop these pigs

I've been working with senior citizens for 9 years I can tell you by the video 📹 I saw..
When the cops 👮♂️👮♀️ knocked on his door 🚪 you can tell that this Gentleman was confused startled and did not know what was going on.. and then to have a bright flash light in his face he could not see.. that alone in my eyes with my experience tells me that these cops did not care at all about him and his side of his story .. they violated this senior citizens rights.. this is called elder abuse. Which is mental abuse. physical abuse, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, neglect, negligence, and because he was tazed.. for trying to explain his story..
This has caused him long term psychological effects + physical injuries on top of already being not well originally as he stated. . These cops should be ashamed of themselves. Treating people this way.. I feel really upset and mad at how this Gentleman was treated. . They messed him up very badly..
I hope you make a full recovery sir and sue Idaho Springs for every dollar in the taxpayer's coffers and every dime their insurance company has !!
Yeah damn a whole town 👏, 🤣🤣🤣🤣
thats the sad part about this shit when they get sued they dont give a shit how much money they have to pay out its not theirs anyways they just go steal it from citizens again
Again I say to FIRE THE POLICE CHIEF this happening on his WATCH and allowing this to happen. The officers NEED firing also and charged for assault with a deadly weapon and do some goal time. Also never to be employed as a policeman in USA.

Police, pump the breaks and only respond to calls, Its oh the police are lazy.
The dumbing down of this country is complete 🤣🤣
This is a perfect example why no one should ever open their door to a police officer. If you do it can ruin the rest of your life.
IIRC in this instance they knocked but did not identify themselves.
Regardless, it’s a bad idea to open the door in the middle of the night without at least asking through the door, “who isn’t it? & “what do you want?”
Cops know that... that's why the two officers stood on either side of the peep hole. The old man didn't know it was the police when he answered the door..
BUT this old guy did viciously attack a woman busting her face up pretty good.
Fact!
@@thetruepatriot7733 Allegedly. This cop was way out of bounds tazing a naked 75-year old man standing inside of his doorway who was no danger to two strong young cops..... Knocked the guy unconscious when he slammed the back of his head on the floor, then drags him outside into the hallway naked except his shorts! When he regains consciousness the Cop read the man his Miranda rights but didn't bother to tell him what he was being charged with. A number of things wrong with this use of excessive force to make an arrest! Hope he won his case.

Did you watch the police officer’s body cam of the entire incident? This guy is a total liar. You can read my synopsis that goes along point by point with what he said versus the body camera reporting.

They handcuffed him behind his back and never rendered aid. What happened to in my custody, in my care? These cops need to be charged heavily for this horrifying assault. Elder abuse to begin with.

Then dragged him out unconscious and went back into his room and grabbed the machete and sat it next to him in the hallway
He kept asking "how did that get out here?? Did u grab it out of my room"?
And they wouldn't answer
Because they knew they planted it to make it look like he came out into the hallway after them with a Machete
The girl that lied needs to go to jail with both cops!
She said she was bleeding all over the place. Her top was suspicioulsy clean for someone that bled all over the place. Those 2 were lying and decided to set him up after he aked them to quiet down. I agree with an earler comment but it was probably them having a scuffle. Bumping into stuff and that was what he heard
@@paulvisage2311 She lied. The boy friend said he was outside. We don’t know what happened. She probably was crying because he banged the wall back and because she was drunk. There was no blood though.
The female officer should be fired also, she stated that he was tased because he had a weapon at the time he was was tasered. Police do this crap all the time and never get caught. I am glad they got caught this time. Pay This Man What Is Due To Him!
I'm sure that when this is all over he won't be living in an apartment anymore
It's also possible that he won't even be alive anymore when this is all over due to his drastically diminishing health conditions as a result of the attack, sadly.
Tasing someone for no reason is assault. Why allegedly?
Another article that goes into the affidavit. I am still in shock that Officer Ellie Summers is still a police officer. I am also suprised that the woman reporting this isn't facing criminal charges, It appears she was drunk or on drugs, she threatend to kill Clark, lots of inconsistancies in her story, and she is getting away with it.
people use cops as a weapon against other people they don't like. false complaints are crimes but they are rarely pursed by DAs and cops don't seem to care, as long as they can abuse and arrest as many people as possible.
As long as she is still on the police force and carrying a weapon she is a threat to every person living in Idaho springs. I can’t believe the city government is too stupid to realize she will kill some innocent civilian eventually. Then the govt. will really be in some deep shit and some innocent person dead.
There is supposed to be a court date on august 12 concerning mr Clarke’s case.
Yeah if she actually got punched her boyfriend probably punch her blame it on the old man

Shame on the police officers assaulting elderly people in such an awful manner.
I moved to Colorado to get away from violent, criminal, psychopath cops. Low and behold, I moved from the frying pan (California) [in]to the fire (Colorado). Colorado cops are worse than the tyrant Sheriffs and police in California. You (I) can't go anywhere in Colorado without a cop interaction.

I watched the video of the original incident. This man was attacked by the 2 officers that came to his door.
1) they did not identify themselves as police when they pounded on his door
2) the new neighbor next door was drunk and accused this gentleman of hitting her in the face. He reported "he never left the apartment, but was awoken by a loud sound".
2) when asked he put down the decorative sword which they kept calling "a machete"

He reminds me of my dad. He was such a sweet, gentle, and kind man. His passion was getting food for the food box at his church...but I saw him take a 2x4 to a Rottweiler that had broke into his backyard and was attacking his little lap dog. The dog ran back through the fence, and dad reinforced the fence like Fort Knox. He passed in 2016. I miss him every day.

How was the female cop a tyrant?
@@ABCeasyas-yj2ot the neighbor who called the police.
They didn’t even investigate, they heard the women’s version (or rather fantasy) and just tased him without asking a single solitary question. Frankly the woman should be reported for filing a false report at least. If you watch the video of her talking to the cops after he has gone to the hospital she is all over the place with her so called assault, of which there was no sign. Additionally she changed her information. Those two cops should be fired at least and never allowed to hold a badge ever again
Where is the video?
@@NaveDelAmor there was a body cam video circulating showing police interaction with the woman after the older gentleman was taken to hospital. In that video she never mentioned he hit her and it seemed her biggest concern was she didn’t like him living there. Certainly sounded to me like she wanted to cause him trouble possibly to get him to move.
@@endeavourone882 the video I saw of the victim advocate and police interaction and she kept repeating he hit her. She s obviously on something.

@@wattienewton5447 He must sue them separately, each for at least 1 million plus more for pain and suffering. The mental trauma alone is worth at least a million. Those officers did take away his dignity and his right to live a peaceful life.
I hope that police department has lots of money for that nice man to take. Their behavior is inexcusable and the reason why immunity from prosecution must be overturned. Anyone with a toddler knows that when bad behavior isn’t immediately checked, it only gets worse.
Criminals with badges and guns. The victims first mistake was to trust those criminals. He grew up in a time where some cops were still trust worthy. The criminal next door neighbor should have been arrested and charged for filing a false report and attempted murder. The cops need to be fired and charged with a number of crimes. If they had just taken a minute to look at the criminal woman who filed the complaint did not have a scratch on her, no blood etc. If they had checked they could have seen her very long criminal record which included lying to cops about this sort of thing in the past. I hope he sues the cops personally along with their supervisors, and the city and the cops union who protects these criminals. He deserves millions.
The fact that these officers picked up the "sword" that he put back on the shelf as he was laying on the floor fighting for his life, and dropped it along his side to make it seem like he was the attacker, and charged him with third degree assault, yet didn't even do a background check on a woman who filed a false police report on him is beyond fucked up. They all need to rot.
This man is still alive to testify hes lucky how many others will never be heard........
Just because hes "still alive" does not diminish the injustice done to him and he may now have PTSD because he had the audacity to answer his door. Its sad others haven't been as lucky but must he die for people to care what happened to HIM?
I would love to see any follow ups on this story if possible could someone please post any outcomes.
He could have easily been murdered by these criminal, abusive, corrupt cops. Any follow up from the corrupt police department? A major problem is bad cops get fired and then simply move to a different place and continue their behavior, that needs to stop.
Praying for you Sir......they did you wrong........
I have a LEO friend who once told me that when he completed his academy training and as they handed him and his other classmates their badges, they told them, "This is the closest you have ever been to going to jail." Ironically, this gets proved over and over as meathead LEO Nicholas Hanning, who has been fired, now faces class 6 felony charges of third-degree assault on an at-risk adult which carries a penalty of 18 months in prison and up to $100,000 fine. Furthermore, the Idaho Springs PD now has to contend with a lawsuit that will be very costly in bad PR, lawyer fees, and the ultimate award.
18 months is not long enough. This man’s life has been shortened. I hope he lives long enough to finish his lawsuit!
Guess who will pay to settle the lawsuit that this elderly man will surely win ? The Tax payers. we need to revoke nationwide this Qualified Immunity that Cops have, where their victims can NOT sue the Police Officer in question....Authority walks all over the USA Constitution, what's the recourse ? NOTHING at All...these cops will never see jail or prison.
Don't worry - it will be the taxpayers of this jurisdiction that will be on the hook for the lawyers fees!
Did the lady next door get charged for lying and making a false report to the police which seemed to cause the over reaction by the cops?
I wonder how these cops were trained? I met 2 cops in Irving pd in Texas, who had no probable cause, ran my plates and found a 5 year old, traffic bench warrant, followed me into parking garage of my employer, and treated me like I robbed a bank or killed someone. Instead of giving me another ticket, they arrested me at my job. The distance of following me was like a thousand feet and they were on opposite side of road when they ran the front plate at a traffic signal stopped and I was making a left hand turn on green arrow. They are just sick and twisted. They vilolate people's rights and laugh about it. The story got worse as they kept me for for 3 weeks, because I questioned their authority, and I knew they had no probable cause. My mistake was telling them they lied.
I’m so sorry that this veteran senior citizen had to experience this behavior from idiotic cowards, who were obviously anxious to use force on someone. Please tell me they jailed the lying germ posing as an officer.
As far as i know no i hope am wrong hope these cops are jailed for felony

This breaks my heart. Michael Clark is a good man. So much of what happened is disturbing. I saw the original video. The police hid from the door peep hole so as to obscure themselves-this alone would instill suspicion for the occupant behind the door especially at 11pm at night. They did not announce that they were police with knowledge he is 75-what threat is Michael Clark . The alleged victim lied about the assault-police did not care. What kind of subhuman beast tazes and drags like a sack of coal a 75 yr old man from his home. I wish Michael Clark an immediate recovery.

she did lie. and she was the one who was drinking, yet the officer kept asking him...an old man, after being tazed if he was drinking!! wow!! cant they see the real drunk person?? beyond comprehension.
wow.. that is really sad. You can tell he was violated and he was holding back tears at the end of the interview. God speed on your recovery Michael. I hope you get justice.
He grew up in a different time - when you opened the door to find out who was outside.
He now knows to not open the door. Whether it’s cops, people pretending to be cops, other types of gang members, dangerous junkies, etc - the result is likely to be what he experienced.
Do not open the door and, if the door gets busted open, do what you think is right.

On the body cam footage his hands aren't damaged or bloody as if he's hit someone. Older skin damages very easily and his hands would have been damaged. Plus if you listen to the woman accuser, her speech was slurred as if she was under the influence of something. It's possible she could have fallen, face first, into the wall causing both her injury and the loud bang. As for the man who's apartment it was, there was no proof that he was out walking his dog even though the dog was being held back by a leash. A walked dog would not be as frisky as that dog was. The police assumed too much and did not assess the situation thoroughly, before "blaming" anyone.
I agree, especially if you pay attention to the elderly gents comment regarding the ‘loud bang’. He said “it sounded like THEY were coming through the wall”.
Sounds like the man and woman were fighting. But the man, not wanting to be part of a domestic, made up the being out story.
*1 vid- the male neighbor says he went over and it was him banging on the gents door. Never the gent pounding on their door. (That would also explain the gent answering the door armed? I believe the gent is suffering some memory loss, he doesn’t mention that the neighbors came to his door, but they did say that to the cops.)
Shameful. When the gentleman says he "lost his security"... That sums up the image the police have at this point... who will protect us from the "protectors"
Poor guy. Tasing affects one's heart no matter what age. Tasing is NOT a viable option for any reason. It negatively affects the heart , too much electricity centered on the heart,which itself could cause cardiac arrest.
I grew up with Grandad and Grandmother, and I have taught digital literacy skills to the elderly for over 25 years since I was 12 years old. I am disgusted beyond calculation at this man's horrific treatment, and if he were my grandfather, my reaction would not have been a tempered one.
I wish he had had someone beside him for the interview, I think he was still a little confused but what he went threw explained his mindset. I hope these two cops are charged with assault and are never cops again, JAIL TIME!
He needed to be able to express himself. It is hard watching what this attack has caused not only with his health but also his cognitive and mental health! His life has been hell for the last 66 days and we are no where near done. They absolutely deserve jail time!

Who is the protected class? Cops lol no the arrest fault cop was charged n fired
Hasn't anyone ever noticed! The people that become cops are the ones who were bully in school! I knew a few kids that got pick on and they became police to get even.

Ironically, your attitude will make it so your depiction of the police comes true. This is because reasonable people won't become cops if society, and people like you, pre-label them as bad people. Your mentality is called ''prejudice,'' and in my view it's being intentionally orchestrated by corporate media like MSNBC and other propaganda dispensers who intend to defund the police. Since no one could possibly be THAT braindead, it's got to be due to a movement which intends to flatten this country to third world status.
No they don't were did you get this information from.
That neighbor needs to be sued too. They caused the events.
When a cop uses a taser to apprehend a 75 year old man, it's time to take the tasers away from them. What an embarrassment to law enforcement. Cop's love using their damn taser for everything. The reason people are turning against cop's is this kind of unlawful activity. There is no way I would trust a Cop to do the right thing anymore. I hope this gentlemen owns a mansion and the cop with the taser or both are fired after this case is settled!
