LF: AGW Taunts, Brutalizes Old Man

This is among the worst of many.

The following video shows a Texas armed government worker named Ellison Collins berating a frail old man a fourth his size and probably 30 years his senior – for reasons unclear. The old man appears to be slightly – and perhaps more than slightly Azheimerian. He is without question more-than-slightly frail, physically and clearly couldn’t be a “threat” to the “safety” of the enormous badged bully – who tells him he has his permission to slap him.

“If you want to do something, slap the shit out of me and get it off your chest,” the AGW instructs.

“I’m giving you permission to slap the shit out of me . . . and see what happens.”

The old man – seemingly confused – raises a feeble arm and brushes the face of the AGW, who responds instantly with a brutal strike that knocks the old man to the ground.

The old man is ordered to “get on your back” and is harshly manacled. Another AGW assists while one more stands by passively and watches the procedure. Neither make any effort to intervene, much less arrest the AGW, who – like a schoolyard bully only much worse, because heavily armed and backed by the state – gave the old man permission to slap him, which the old man certainly took to mean no legal repercussions – and then used the old man’s sanctioned actions as the manufactured pretext for knocking him to the ground.

The AGW has – apparently – been fired as well as indicted on charges of assault by a Harris County, TX grand jury.

That’s good, but it would be much better if the other two AGWs who watched this scene develop and who did nothing to stop the psychopath and didn’t arrest the psychopath – and who therefore countenanced the psychopath’s actions – were also fired and criminally charged as well.

If three large (but not badged) men confronted one frail old man, taunted him and stood by while one of their number physically attacked the old man, they’d all be subject to arrest.

Why not here?

It’s worse here – because it was AGWs. The creatures allegedly sworn to “serve and protect,” who are supposed to keep the peace, not incite violence. There is also the business of abuse under color of law.

A “law enforcer” who gives permission to commit an illegal act – and then punishes the person who commits it – is someone who no business possessing legal authority to order anyone to do anything, much less punish them for doing it.

But it’s even worse when other “law enforcers” stand by and watch one of their fellows abuse the law. It encourages exactly what is depicted in this video. AGWs know they are a special protected class, with de facto permission to do as they please even in plain sight of those who are supposed to know – and respect – the law.

But we all know the laws are different for AGWs.

I hope he is sent to the pen, and has to walk around in general population, in uniform, and gets his ass kicked, daily !!!!

Assholes like that give all good cops bad names, reputations!!! Those other cops are assholes also, they stood by & did nothing !!! I hope they get their asses kicked also !!!

I am sure the Canary Klan will be along to give a robust defense of the asshole !!

Actually, they gave assistance in the bullying of a senior. The fraidy-cop who slapped the old duffer around wasn't brave enough to do this bullying without a couple of backup bullies.

And you're absolutely right. They should be charged as accessories and for crimes committed under the color of authority.

All three should face civil rights charges at the federal level. And for abuse of a senior citizen of diminished capacity.
