Full interview: Elderly man assaulted by Idaho Springs Police explains what happened

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.

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 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.

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!
