Death of man, 107, in police shooting raises questions
BY JEANNIE NUSS The Associated Press
PINE BLUFF, Ark. — When the time came to move 107-year-old Monroe Isadore to a new home, police say he resisted and barricaded himself inside. Authorities tried using a camera to monitor him, along with negotiating tactics, and finally gas to get him to come out.
   None of it worked.
   So, a SWAT team went inside and was greeted by gunfire, authorities say. The team fired back, and Isadore died.
   The weekend confrontation raised a flurry of questions Monday as residents struggled to make sense of how someone known as a pleasant, churchgoing man who was hard of hearing and sometimes carried a cane had died in an explosive confrontation. Did authorities know how old he was? Did they follow proper procedure? Could they have done anything differently?
   “It’s just a big puzzle,” said Ivory Perry, who has known Isadore for decades.
   The standoff began Saturday, according to a police report obtained by The Associated Press. Laurie Barlow, 48, of Lonoke, told officers she had gone to the house where Isadore was living temporarily to help him move to a new home. She said Isadore had previously been excited about the move but that when she arrived, Isadore barricaded himself in a room.
   “Ms. Barlow stated his granddaughter finally got him to open the door and she went around to speak with Mr. Isadore; at that time she stated Mr. Isadore raised his arm and pointed a gun at her and stated ‘You better stop breaking in to my house,’” the report said.
   After police moved Barlow and the granddaughter across the street, Isadore fired at a door moments after police tried to contact him. A SWAT team, called out when negotiations failed, maneuvered a camera into the house to see how Isadore was armed, then stormed inside after deploying gas and a distraction device, the report said. When Isadore fi red, the entry team fi red back.
   Police Sgt. David DeFoor said Monday that Isadore had been living at the home temporarily, but did not go into more detail. The sergeant also said officers may not have been aware of the man’s age.
   “The only thing they knew that I’m aware of was that he was older,” DeFoor said. UNDER REVIEW
   Prosecutors are expected to review whether police reacted appropriately.
   Crime is not uncommon in this community of about 50,000 people some 45 miles southeast of Little Rock, where prisons house hundreds of inmates and signs caution drivers against picking up hitchhikers.
   But in Isadore’s old neighborhood, where he lived until several months ago, friends recalled him as a pleasant and active man. He mowed lawns in his advanced years and kept a vegetable garden, often sharing its bounty.
   “I thought he was a good, old guy because he would always talk to us and go to church every Sunday,” said Dwayne Grant, 50. Grant recalled that Isadore tilled the garden himself — though Monday the plot stood empty, as if it yielded no crop this year.
   Robert and Ivory Perry said they had known Isadore for more than 20 years.
   “Everybody knows Mr. Isadore,” said Robert Perry, 76.
   His wife, Ivory Perry, 65, said Isadore had done his own cooking — she recalled neck bones and rice pudding — and talked about religion.
   “I just don’t understand how this happened,” she said.
   Neither Grant nor the Perrys knew Isadore had access to a gun.
   “I believe if somebody had told them that he was a 107-year-old man in that house, even with a gun, I don’t believe they would have laid down fire on him,” Robert Perry said.
   And Grant said the violence seemed very out of character for Isadore.
   “I couldn’t believe it myself,” he said. “The guy, he was 107 years old. I mean, come on.”

J.O. Box and Box jump for joy that a senile old man with dementia is gunned down by government agents! I can hear them now "If he put down the gun when commanded he would still be alive!" in their snide and snickering demeanor. They were just as thrilled when the old man in the nursing home was murdered by cops for acting up for not wanting to go to the hospital to die. These are two savage subhuman animals who believe that every issue, crisis or confrontation should be answered with lethal force by a government agent with an absolute license to kill. Maybe when they are old and senile some agent will smash their brains out in front of their children, Gestapo-style because they did not understand the "orders" from someone in a black death's head outfit. It would be ironic.

Graham seems obsessed... the poor man.  
Maybe counseling would help Graham, but I don't think that I'm the right person to suggest it to him.

Here's one for Graham... Have a nice warm cup of tea Graham and relax with a nice video!
You'll feel much better if you do:

If I said I was going to vote for him, I honestly do not recall that.
There was a lot more to my posts than that, but you have a narrow focus.
All your racist crap is really old for someone that claims to have intelligence.

why do you think I am racist? What did I say about a race?

Quoted Text

But you know if we are talking illegal wetbacks then it would be their "right."

YAH I know, you don't think peole who use those words and talk that way are racists...BUT I DO AND YOU ARE!

Wetbacks are illegal criminal invaders who respect no law and enter our nation illegally, which goes against our rule of law. I am supposed to be concerned I don't offend these criminals? The federal prisons are filled with them and they represent an overwhelming and disproportionate percentage of the criminals in our jails, and I am supposed to suckle their manmeat in an oh-so judicious manner? Most of them fled their nations (which are to the south of us) because they are wanted murderers, rapists and drug dealers in their own countries. Here, imbecilic libs like you roll out a carpet for them, clothe them, feed them caviar, house them, and get all broken up when they are called WETBACKS.  WETBACKS WETBACKS WETBACKS WETBACKS!

As to Dagos, they are not a race. They are ill-educated and corrupt, sneaky, guttersnipe Italians who came here looking to impose socialism, communistic anarchy and totalitarianism over our land. They may have entered legally, but they do all they can to impose tyranny, just like-a back-a in da old-a country- which they long for because it stinks of petty royalty, corrupt officials, vendettas involving the caribiniere against their neighbors, and of course superstition. Too bad you know not the real history of that corrupt land and a distinct part of the population which is communistic, fascist and approves of a special class of citizenry with special favors and privilege. Sounds like Rotterdam, huh?

Dago Dago Dago Dago. There are lots of them, and there are lots of lovely Italians who practice honesty, and appreciate our ANGLO-SAXON republicanism which is a hallmark and offshoot of our Western Heritage. The lovely Italians don't call our citizens "Merde de can" and pretend it means "American." They don't call people with half Italian heritage "Meds a meds" and pretend it refers to their family tree. But the Dagos do. You think you can judge me by whispering in your momma's tongue? Nooooooo, you show how dumb you are again, Dago.

Dagos happen to always be in bed with the corrupt officials, the political class (they grant-a you da favors, I know) and the tyrants so that makes you in the former class. Too bad you don't understand yourself better. The Corps never got the spirit of Constitutionality into your course and peasant head. You are blind order-following monkey who bows to the king, the cop, the soldier- no matter what their intent is. If they come to lay chains on you, you stand erect and salute them and offer to inform on thy neighbors so you can get that extra scrap of bread while under the jackboot.

I know the type all too well, you wreak of serfdom and fealty to a provincial king. Maybe your ancestors served the Duke of Spoleto, who knows. But you are what you are it sickens me that so many of you inhabit and destroy our America with your boot licking ways.

You have your dream of a tyranny, and you come here just to run interference on those who rebel against it. You should feel grateful that Amerika is going the way you want it to go- you asked for it and you got it so celebrate it, don't come here and mention your sidearm when people espouse views that the tyrant bosses don't like. We know a fascist when we see one! Go sit on Obama's and Cuomo's lap and be happy- you have your gun control, your spying on the citizenry, your media control, your security apparatus of state and your courts in lockstep! You have it all!!!
