The attorney of Michael Clark, a 75-year-old man who was allegedly assaulted by an officer with the Idaho Springs Police Department, sat down for an interview to explain what happened to him.
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.
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.
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".
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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💗.
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.
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.
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!!
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
"I always believed cops were fair to all people, despite the overwhelmingly evidence proving otherwise. But now that it's directly affected me, it's an outrage how they treat people! It never was before, but it is now!"
@@Phyllistinegm I'm not talking about me. I'm sarcastically talking about the people who don't care or have empathy for anyone else when bad things happen, but who change their position when the bad thing happens to them. Current example: the people who delight in saying how anti-vax they are all over social media, then when they get covid they ask for prayers and say they didn't realize how awful it could be, then they die and their families run straight to GoFundMe to beg for money.
@@ericalexander5890, I understand, I didn't see the quotation marks. Your assessment is of people's behavior is right on the money! Sorry I misunderstood, and thank you for responding. 🙂
A mental deficiency of conservatives is that they never see injustice to others. It is only when it happens to them. It would be interesting to hear his take on BLM before and after his cop encounter.
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
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
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.
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?
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!
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 😔💕
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
If you play this at 1.75 speed, he sounds perfectly normal. It shows you that the stroke may have slowed him down, but his intelligence is still there.
@not tellin I think it was the heart attack and the stroke that he suffered that caused this to happen - his slurred speech, mainly the stroke. I mean the guy can't walk anymore.
If you just watch the video in the normal way you can tell the man had a stroke yet is still sharp. Why muddy something thats perfectly clear with technical mumbo jumbo? Making his voice sound like mickey mouse doesn't clear up anything. Millennials; smh.
@@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.
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
@@hermanspeyer958 hahahaha ok so on what grounds should a chief be fired? Also the one cop has been fired and charged but please explain where the deadly weapon charge comes from and also what the female cop did wrong?
@@stucclikechucc they as in the police department? They have no say in the price or giving the money. How about america stops being so sue happy? It’s always 100% a police problem lol. Police, go ahead and be proactive to stop crime and make arrest boom racist. Police, pump the breaks and only respond to calls, Its oh the police are lazy. The dumbing down of this country is complete 🤣🤣
@@Christina-fp4lsBeing justifiably paranoid we would have called 911 and restrained the dogs in crates in the basement, and still wouldn't open the door. I have had them show up in the afternoon with a warrant at the wrong address. I had to use up all my elderly white privilege to stop their intrusion and send them to the address on the warrant, that never had a building to search. Turns out they were looking for a very large construction vehicle. We later learned it had been returned to the rental facility a decade prior. Apparently, commercial facilities don't have to follow due process either.
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. 💜🙏
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. It always escalates by the cops to its my fault in order that I bow down to their orders. Keep in mind, I always try to comply. Funny, no? NO.
@@katykayy Sounds like I do too. Actually, been thinking about a body cam. It's dangerous to go outside without several cameras recording continuously. California and not far behind Colorado are socialist, communist, totalitarian, 3rd World, Banana Republic Police State shitholes. Many other State are not far behind.
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?
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!
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.
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
When I saw the body cam footage I found it very upsetting,then we hear that this poor man subsequently had a stroke.He is a year older than me,I do all my diy,gardening etc,the thought of all this being taken away and loosing my independence like this poor man is unbearable.What would have happened if the incident wasn't filmed.I hope he improves and that justice is served.🏴🇬🇧
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.
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.
Think you watched a different video as it was male officer that took down the swordfish blade from the shelf where it was placed by the dependent and he placed it in hallway a good 3mtrs away from the defendants unconscious body while the female officer was tending to him ! He had it in his hand while he opened the door thats all he was guilty off! He was also wearing his glasses I think !
That would be a lie those cops would tell , that lady officer was hooked up with a bad cop and now she well we will see how this come out if they don’t put it off for years
@@geo-george2639 Blame the drugie woman and not the cops who didn't do an investigation, follow policy for use of force resulting in this man's injury, and lie in police reports while disturbing evidence to cover their assault of this man????? You are blaming the wrong people.
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.
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."
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"
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.
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 watched the cop cam of this incident. The officers drug him out of his room into the hall and planted the sword next to him in the hall. Mr. Clark was unconscious and defenseless. 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.
@@maureenmcneil6803 and he sat it down on the top of the shelf after he opened the door and realized it was the cops. But they STILL tased him inside his apartment 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
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?
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.
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. Michael Clark is a criminal and needs to go to jail for assault and felony menacing on two peace officers.
@@khismet oh I’m ready and I defend what I said right to the ground. The old man is a menacing liar. Just because he’s old doesn’t mean he can commit crimes with impunity.

Something weird involving the police happened with me. I was at subway getting a sandwich and I'm a little indecisive. An guy who stated he was an off duty cop was seeming irritated. I drove home just 5 minutes. I was inside and a police officer appeared at my door he said he had report I was driving drunk. I don't drink. I told him offered to take the test, but he just left. As he left he mumbled maybe you're high, which I wasn't. I just felt so weird about it. If I had of got angry or abusive or refused anything I could have ended up detained. I still can't figure out what caused it except for one thing.....the off duty cop.
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.
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?
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. 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. She probably fell and hurt herself or worse(self-inflicted). The poor young man was not liking being thrown into the situation. I feel so bad for the man. He plants flags on the graves at Ft Logan And comes home to get arrested. Handcuffs behind his back? I have trouble hooking my bra, I can imagine lying there in ambulance...awful! I hope he recovers and goes fishing.
@@NaveDelAmor I believe he mentioned he end up having a stroke behind that trama. It doesn't make any sense for a person his age to experience carelessness such as this.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. We have cops like this in Loveland, CO too who like to beat up elderly women with dementia and hog tie like an animal. This law office is representing both of these cases. Loveland made international news for these horrible cops abusive behavior and Chief Ticer just wants it to all go away. Well it will not until justice is done and this new victim deserves his justice as well. Best wishes to you dear man. I truly hope you can fully heal.
Dear Michael my heart breaks that you had to endure this crime.They could have killed you. Hopefully your family and friends family gather to advocate for your health, security, and legally. You need as many people around you as possible dealing with power)Sue them The Colorado police come up over and over in cases with obscene brutality .
Never open your door for these tyrants. This is the cause and effect of Operation Paperclip 1945 Nazism/fascism wreaking havoc in CORPORATE AMERICA over the course of 76 years..
@@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.
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!
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 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.
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..
Mr. Clark should have never opened the door. If he felt that he was too scared to open the door without a knife, he should have never opened the door. It's OK to speak through the door.
@@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.
Although it's not looking good I hope he recovers soon. Staying positive and fk Idaho Springs and I will never go there for vacation. Elderly Abusers!!!!
I don't understand why these two cops, because I believe they're both guilty. Are not being charged with depraved indifference to human life. And I don't understand why they are not currently in jail.
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.
Rule #1: Keep your doors closed and locked. #2: Only open it for welcome visitors. #3: Keep your guns loaded and ready for unwelcome visitors. When that door opens, empty your gun.
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"
Don't answer your door at night unless you are expecting a visit from someone you trust. Nothing good will ever come from a bump in the night or thump on the door. I feel sorry for this elderly man. He learned a hard lesson: we are living a *Police State.* Police need to be held accountable for their illegal actions when they commit crimes against people. Qualified Immunity needs to be abolished.
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.
