If a family exists for the 95 year old you don't think that the family won't sue the police dept. Those suit are funded in part by taxpayers in many situations. I believe some people who read this story stopped when the read the man was 95. I mean how much time did he have left anyway and at what quality of life. As I explained above we have some real issues here with the militarization of police departments and citizen constitutional rights. This sort of thing may be OK in Russia or China but it is not here.
I didn't give my personal view above because of the bigger issues I advanced but honestly taking down a 95 year old confused man just does not compute in my mind...and I still feel the staff people could have managed the issue as they are confronted with this type behavior daily whereas the police are not which is way theyt shot first .
I managed many municipalities and had had my share of defending lawsuits against police departments, etc and as such have some background experience in what actually goes on. I'll stop here. Police do have a difficult job
