UPDATE: Idaho Springs “police officer” Nicholas Hanning has been charged with felony assault on an “at risk” adult. What about the female officer Ellie Summers though?

A 75 year old man in his underwear was shot with a taser inside his own apartment, fell and hit his head on a chair and the ground on his way down – knocking him out – and then a Idaho Springs Police Officer knelt on his neck while unconscious. The violent attack caused heart problems and a stroke, and now the rest of this man’s life is ruined. The Idaho Police officers Nicholas Hanning and Ellie Summers need to be held responsible.

“There was no need to hit me… There was no reason for him to strike me, I had my arms down… I was not going to… realize that you’re police officers…. what’s going on? That’s all I want to know. You could’ve told me. I was assaulted. You knocked on my door. You didn’t tell me you were the police. You could’ve told me, ‘We’re the police and we’re having a problem.’ I would’ve said, you want to sit down, we’ll talk about it. You would’ve found out that I did not go in the hall, my door was locked, I did not punch that woman… She’s a liar… I never even come out in the hall.” – Assaulted 75 Year Old Man Mr Clark

Both of these so-called “police officers” should be fired, and either indicted or sued for the crimes and negligence committed by the officers in this video against a 75 year old man in his underwear.

These shitty “police officers” NEVER ANNOUNCED THEMSELVES AS POLICE OFFICERS as they pounded on the old man’s door. The scared old man (Mr. Clark) didn’t know who the fuck was banging his door, so he came to the door armed, as I would recommend all people do if they feel threatened.

Once Mr Clark realized it was the police he put the weapon away.

But the nutless piece of shit officer shot the old man with a taser anyway, which made Mr. Clark fall straight backwards and crack his head on the ground, knocking him out, and probably doing some damage to the old man’s brain.

What did the nutless piece of shit “police officer” Nicholas Hanning (hopefully former officer) do? He KNEELS ON THE UNCONSCIOUS OLD MAN’S NECK as he took his sweet-ass time putting the knocked-out old man in cuffs.

The female skank “officer” Ellie Summers (hopefully former officer as well) obviously knew right off the bat what Officer Nicholas Hanning did was completely wrong, and started making up evidence, like “he came at us with a machete” – which never happened – The old man didn’t “come at them”. They charged the old man, and STILL HAD NOT ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WERE POLICE OFFICERS!

Obviously, all the scared old man initially saw were bright flashlights in his eyes, and had no clue who was at his door.

Mr Clark was living on his own up until the head injury caused by two criminals with badges, and now he is forced to live in a care facility. What a fucking shame! These two “officers” need to be held accountable for their crimes against Mr Clark.

The city of Idaho Springs, and the Idaho Springs Police better start getting ready to pay Mr Clark a huge amount of money!

An Idaho Springs police officer issued no warnings to a 75-year-old man before shocking him with a Taser and later placing his knee on the unconscious man’s neck, newly released body camera footage of the incident shows.

The 75-year-old, Michael Clark, was living independently at the time of the incident but now resides in a nursing facility after suffering health complications following the incident, according to his attorney, Sarah Schielke.

Schielke released the body camera footage Thursday after receiving it from the district attorney’s office.

“Finally being able to view the videos has been vindicating for this family on some level, since they confirm all that Mr. Clark has said, but, seeing the horrors that they contain, after fighting for so long to get them, has been traumatic in its own right,” Schielke said in a statement Thursday. “The tragic, needless abuse of this man in his own home cannot be unseen.”

Nicholas Hanning, the officer who used the Taser on Clark, was fired from his job July 13 and is facing an assault charge for his actions. The other officer on scene, Ellie Summers, remains employed by the Idaho Springs Police Department.

The two officers were called to the Idaho Springs apartment building on May 30 when a woman called 911 to allege her neighbor punched her in the face.

The video shows Hanning and Summers knocked on Clark’s apartment door without announcing themselves as police. Hanning and Summers immediately started yelling when Clark, wearing only his boxer shorts, opened the door holding a sawtooth sword. Hanning then shoved Clark into a wall.

Clark placed the sword on top of a bookshelf after the officers told him to put it down. Hanning and Summers yelled at him to get on the ground, to which he responded “no.” Then, standing in the entryway of his apartment, Clark started to explain the situation.

As Clark spoke, Hanning shot him in the stomach with a Taser probe, the video shows. Clark immediately fell backward, unconscious.

The officers dragged Clark out of his apartment and into the hallway. Hanning placed his knee on Clark’s neck for eight seconds while Clark laid motionless, facedown on the ground, the video shows. The officers handcuffed Clark and rolled him onto his side.

Body camera footage also shows Hanning grab the sword from the bookshelf where Clark had put it and place it in the hallway.

Clark was hospitalized due to heart complications and had a stroke 36 hours after his arrest, Schielke has said. He has not been charged with any crime.

In a statement through his lawyer, Clark said he wanted the videos publicly released.

“What the world will see in these videos is not me at my worst, but a police department at their worst,” Clark said in the statement. “I am a patriot. I love my country. There are a number of good people out there… good police officers. These are not them. People like this should not be police. What they took from me that day, I can’t put into words. I’m going to do whatever it takes with what little time I have left to stop this from happening to anyone else ever again.”
