You give a bunch of scared cops a bunch of toys and they just look for an excuse to use them.

All they needed to do was to leave the old boy alone and everything would have worked out. At 95 years of age, if the man decided not to take his medicine he should have been left alone - period. In a case where the officer fired at the man 5 times with LTL beanbags from 5-8 feet, the officer should be charged with 2nd (or 3rd depending upon state definition) degree murder. Minimum distance with LTL beanbags is 15 feet.

Given that the cop didn't actually intend to kill the guy... which is an assumption, but I think a reasonable one... that still leaves us with at least a charge of manslaughter, or negligent homicide.

I want to see this cop held to the same standard that anyone one else would be judged by.

Don’t try this at home.

The poor, WWII 95 year-old veteran never stood a chance.

See the violent effect of a .12 ga bean bag round on a big fat cop wearing soft body armor.

exactly! that is what my parents' doctor told us about our 90-year old father and 88-year old mother... both are pretty darn healthy... and stubborn!
