Bodycam Shows Idaho Police Tasing 75-Year-Old Man, Officer Charged with Assault
The Idaho Springs Police Department released bodycam footage showing an officer tasing a 75-year-old man during an incident on May 30, 2021.

After the man put the object down, Officer Nicholas Hanning tased him after he refused to get on the ground. Hanning was charged with assault and fired from his job at the police department in July 2021. The officer pleaded guilty to assaulting the man and was sentenced to two years of probation.
Settlement reached in case of Michael Clark after lawsuit claiming assault by Idaho Springs police
Michael Clark, a 76-year-old Idaho Springs man who filed a lawsuit in 2021 claiming he was wrongfully assaulted by two police officers, has settled the suit for $7 million.
OPINION: I believe in biblical “Eye for an Eye Justice”. As such, I think the cop who tased the 75 yr/old (who did nothing wrong) should be tased 10 times as part of his punishment. Those who cause pain deserve to get back the pain they caused X10.
