Harris County Sheriff's Office police officer Deputy Ellison Collins with two backup officers accosted a 61-year-old man and gave him a direct order to "slap the shit out of me, get it off your chest". The elderly an, clearly confused, asks "are you going to arrest me?", and the mountainous officer replies "no, I'm giving you permission to slap the shit out of me and get it off your chest and see what happens." When the elderly man lightly pats the officer's face, the massive officer violently knocks him to the ground and arrests him with the help of his 2 cohorts. The 3 cops apparently all had turned their cameras turned off and didn't know another officer had arrived on the scene, and because that cop didn't know what was happening that officer's camera was still rolling.

lucky760says...Prick.
Hopefully charges were dropped on the old dude since his palm didn't even make contact with the officer and he wasn't even slapping, just slowly moving toward that thug.

BSRsays...At least he obeyed the officer's orders, otherwise there would be..."trouble."
wtfcaniusesays...Entrapment and assault plain and simple.
He should be fired and the other officers should be reprimanded.
Edit:
The deputy has been indicted for assault but not entrapment.
"The deputy, who has been on "non-law enforcement administrative duty" since the incident, is facing up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine, according to the Houston Chronicle."
The old man's charges of "interference" were dismissed.

But he will be acquitted. Cops rarely get convicted.
