Talk about overkill by the cop in question. He broke the poor old mans neck for God's sake.

This has become an epidemic of many cops abusing their power. We see often how the cowards hiding behind a badge get off on going after those that are the most vulnerable among us. What a nightmare these animals must be to live with, I can only imagine.

This cop needs to be stripped of his badge and off the streets, period. He's a danger to every citizen that dares to question his so-called authority or happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. He's a bully with a badge and we all know that is not a good mix.

ORLANDO --
An elderly man is in critical condition after being thrown to the ground by a police officer.

It happened Saturday night near North Orange Avenue after police say Daniel Daley put his hands on the cop.

The World War II veteran is out of surgery. He suffered an injury doctors at Florida Hospital say only about 10 percent of people are lucky enough to survive.

Daley left the Caboose Bar and headed to his car across the street Saturday night.

Witnesses say the 84-year-old was upset when he saw his car was about to be towed.

The Ivanhoe Grocery owner recently posted signs warning drivers because customers of other businesses were parking in their spots.

Several people, who didn't want to go on camera, say it has led to plenty of arguments the past few weeks, but none with the potentially deadly consequences that happened Saturday.

The police were called and say Daley, who'd been drinking, put his hands on the officer.

Witnesses say he put his hands on the officer three times and the cop warned him to stop each time.

Police say Daley made a fist and said ‘I'm not leaving until I knock this cop out.’

Another witness says the officer then violently hip checked him and took him to the ground.

Daley ended up in Florida Hospital with a broken neck.
