Whoa!

95 years old and the police tazed him!

Good God Almighty.

That’s homicide.

"We want to go home at night, we don't care if you do." Said the officers.

Best bet is to get a dog from the pound and don't get too attached.

From the Article: "Police said they struck him with a Taser and bean bag rounds after he threatened officers with a 12-inch butcher knife."

Then we will have to ban butcher knives everywhere.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

;-) you may have got that from me. Been posting here on and off for years.

It really seems like we're about there doesn't it.

Notice they never shoot negro yutes playing the “Knock-Out Game” on senior Caucasian citizens?

I’m beginning to think our police have been infiltrated by moslems.

They shoot dogs, don’t they?

[Salamander]

Yeah, right.

LOL

[Cowgirl]

They never get in trouble for anything so what do they care.
Remember, never call the police for ANY reason.

Old people,,... dogs.///...... . . .... children....... .. .. ... ..

It's a War on PEOPLE!!!!!! It ALWAYS HAS BEEN!

[Jet Jaguar]

Any poster target for a guy on IV’s?

This 95 year old might have been a World War II veteran who fought the Nazi’s.

He might have even fought the Nazis, too.

[Secret Agent Man]

i don’tbelieve this is merely just coincidence anymore. i believe it is now standard operating procedure. they are starting the culling out of citizens under the guise of accidents and mistakes, and they’re doing it on demographics of people that don’t seem to enrage the general populous all that much.

[Secret Agent Man]

they could always aim at the hand with the weapon,or arm, or the weapon itself. especially if they are not holding a hostage and it isn’t a firearm that might go off. after all they claim to be the gun experts.

He might have even fought the Nazis, too.

You’re right. I worded that very poorly.

Yep, the old man fought to defeat Hitler and dies fighting the Nazi types in his own country.

Who knows if he’s a World War II vet but the probability is pretty high.

[Salamander]

I have no intention of ever doing so...:)

[Cowgirl]

Yeah, let your dogs live.

[Salamander]

Even easier, send in a dog.

This is starting to look a lot like a cleansing.

[Salamander]

That is *always* on my mind and the #1 reason I would not call them.

The two Dobes -will- react to ‘trespassers’ and they ave no concept of “uniforms”.

Not risking them when we can take care of ourselves just fine.
