The obvious answer is the cops were getting their rocks off.
After all, so dogs in the area, so the old man would have to do.
It is still the all-pervasive statist attitude, the elitist “us vs them” training that is instilled into the adepts of the fascist machine ... It may not be Chicago per se, bu it is the “Chicago way,” best represented in the persons of Rham Emanuel and Barack Obama.
They must have just about cut him in half - and THEN - instead of getting him to the hospital = they TAKE PICTURES - and THEN put him a 4-point restraint.
RESTRAINT??? They must have all but cut him in half with FIVE!!!
Yup. After shooting him multiple times with the 12-gauge, they still felt they had to restrain him. The only thing they didn’t do to him was take out their sticks and start clubbing and stomping on him.

He needs to go to prison for murder.
Assuming the story is correct, that's the minimum punishment he should receive.
Stop resisting! >BLAM!< Stop resisting! >BLAM!<
my father, a retired cop told me if the cops are overstepping their authority, the one who allows it, their commander is the responsible one. He allows it to happen....Notice the way the chief of police, any time there is a homicide by officer, run to the mike and defend the murderers of their action....starts at the top..chief is just one layer, all the layers of authority are also culpable...The chief if a political job, not voted on... Rank goes to those that follow the chiefs orders, all are murderers.....I don’t speak of all police, the chief, lieutenants, Sargent’s etc. give permission to the cop on the street to do as they wish..

You are referring to the fine days when the police were to “serve and protect”. It is only in a relative short period of time that they have morphed into being jack-booted thugs.
If you see any fairly recent movies on TV that involve police action, you will see what I mean. “Get on the ground. Get on the ground, NOW!”
They were just treating his urinary tract infection.
The thugcop has been charged, but not with murder as you or I would be:
“Cook County prosecutors have already charged Officer Craig Taylor with felony reckless conduct related to John Wrana’s death in July 2013.”
Apparently the "shoe leather treatment" is an approved medical technique for UTIs in the elderly...

He undoubtedly KNEW that firing 5 rounds into a 96 year old man at point blank range with a 12-gauge would in all likelihood kill him. He WANTED to kill him. And he gets charged with pretty much just a slap on the wrist.
No. This, is what our GOVERNMENT is morphing into.
When the common people learn to recognize that police are just enforcers and revenue collectors for their government masters, they will then begin to assign blame to the proper place.
One day soon, vigilante justice will start to become attractive to more and more people. Then look out for the chaos.

Yeah,,,and the Nazi’s at the death camps weren’t responsible for herding people into gas chambers. They were just enforcing Hitlers orders.
