Former Victoria officer that tazed 76 year-old man hired in Beeville

[TexasTowelie]

Former Victoria Police Officer Nathanial Robinson has a new job with the Beeville Police Department, according to a Corpus Christi news station.

Robinson was fired in December after dash cam footage showed him stopping 76-year-old Victoria man Pete Vasquez, throwing him toward the ground, using a stun gun on him and later arresting him.

He was fired from the Victoria department after violating its police conduct, use of force and arrest policies and procedures.

A grand jury decided not to indict Robinson.

Beeville Police Chief Joe Trevino said Robinson won't immediately be placed back on the streets, KIII-TV reported. The 23-year-old will go through a 12-week training program, which will include learning department policies and procedures, and retraining on using tools and weapons, the chief told the TV news station.

I'm amazed by the poor judgment shown by Texas law enforcement.

Then open a new police dept, with human beings


Perfect case too, they KNOW he is going to harm someone unnecessarily and hired him anyway

5. Yes, he won't even have to relocate

since Beeville is only about an hour away. I don't know what they are thinking.
