Police use Taser on 95 year old man in retirement home, then use bean bag round to his gut, which killed him.

Similar to the man with a BBQ fork the cops blew away in KC some years back.

No, I don't like the answer because you keep dodging the questions I asked.

Let's stick to the subject - the 95 year old man who somehow was a threat to the cops.

Can you answer any of the questions above? Originally Posted by ExNYer

I took most of it (the "factual" part) right out of the article on which you base your opinion.

And BT, will chime in on that one ... he used to use the Houston Chronicle OP-ED pages.

Now he just blows it out his ass with cutesy LITTLE sayings and smiley faces.

If you just want to bash the police, then just say it. Don't twist words and remake stories.

That's for the likes of WTF and BT....and company.

And I do not bash cops out of habit. I just recognize a bullshit cover story when I read it. I only bash cops that are out-fo-control bullies who have no business being in that job.

However, I also agree with LL that depending on the single article may not be wise.

Parts of it just doesn't pass the smell test. Guy supposedly had a butcher knife but offspring says no. A 95 yo can't be taken down by a taser.

I'm surprised AARP isn't demanding an investigation. Where's the grey panther version of Al Sharpton? I know, probably dead.

BTW, if I recall correctly Lou Thesz killed two people in the old folks home until he was put out to pasture. And that was what was reported. You know who Lou Thesz is don't you?

Edit: exNYer, in Houston we had this guy in an all white suit called Marvin Zindler running around reporting 'facts' for decades. His credibility was not as immaculate as his suit.

Shifting the responsibility of the consequences of a contact by police during which there is a threat of aggravated assault on the police officers is remarkably short sighted ...

.. it's always easy to "re-evaluate" a response AFTER the incident is over.

Was the "off-spring" present during the incident?

FYI .. only saw a "step-daughter" commenting .... about her "step-father"!

As for being in a wheel chair ..... ??? ... My point is, and was, .....made by the LE instructor ...

"If you don't have all of the facts, it's hard to judge someone."

And on a "bad-ass" hooker board it may be tempting to appear the "outlaw" for the ladies' attentions.

But it probably won't get you a discount, any more than there personal LE friends get one.

The fact that the man was 95 years old seals the deal. It was not reported that he had a gun. No gun, no taser. Unless of course you do not think you can handle a 95 year old man with a fucking cane. You have to taser him and then shot him with a bean bag stun gun.

They should all be fired or assigned to South Central.

Aren't you fuckers the same one's who bitch about TSA patting down old folks?

Folks in a nursing home don't typically have access to the kitchen. They get their food served to them on a tray and typically have plastic utensils.

So where did he get a kitchen knife? And where did it disappear to?

Again, it's a smoke screen to deflect from the fact they killed a 95 year old invalid.
