Gun Battle - Police Versus 107 Year-Old

[Rain Man]

I blame video games. Dude probably spent all of his free time playing some World I first-person shooter running through the Argonne and Belleau Wood.

I would also think that if you managed to keep yourself out of trouble for 107 years, you'd be a pretty safe bet to not get into a gun battle with police. But I guess everyone eventually has a limit before they snap.

(CNN) -- A man who police said was 107 years old was killed in a confrontation with SWAT officers Saturday night.
Police were called to a home in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, where suspect Monroe Isadore was.

"When they arrived, they were able to determine that an aggravated assault had occurred against two people at the residence," Lt. David E. Price, a Pine Bluff police spokesman, said in a statement.

The two victims were led out of the house.

It was not clear what role the suspect had in the aggravated assaults or what they were.

When officers approached a bedroom where Isadore was hiding, he fired through the door, authorities said.

None of the police officers was hit by the gunfire. They retreated to a safer area and called for additional help, including SWAT officers who started negotiations with the suspect.

SWAT officers slipped a camera into the room where Isadore was holed up and saw he was armed with a handgun, Price said.

After unsuccessful negotiations, officers slipped gas into the room through a window, he said, and Isadore fired rounds at them.

The officers broke the bedroom door and hurled in a distraction device, and Isadore fired at them again, according to the spokesman's statement.
Officers returned fire, killing him.

It's unclear what distraction device was used. No more information was immediately available. CNN called the police department, but could not reach anyone.

In 2010, there were about 53,000 people over age 100 in the United States, according to the latest Census numbers. Only 8% of them were older than 104.

So the police tried what? 3 different non lethal tactics to take this man alive and he was still shooting but because he was inevitably killed there are people crying abuse of force.

Some peoples children.

Maybe he was beating up a couple of 110 year-olds.

You are deaf and blind, probably have some dementia going on, and there is an altercation/assault at your house. Someone starts hurling shit into your windows. You have no idea who it is or why. You shoot at them. You die. Pretty sad really. Oh well, he lived a nice long life.

Lol, yeah. At first I had WW1 on there but realized he'd be 7 or so when the war broke out. Too young for WW1 and too old for WW2...but just the right age for the SWAT team.

So how many 107 year old people in the world are there, you moron? And of that number how many do you think will fire a handgun at police?...

Hard to believe that 107 year old guy probably had more ****ing sense than you do...

You blacks need to stop your whining. At least you still SEE black people walking around. At least you still have your culture. My cultural heritage is now selling dope on a reservation or fireworks in the middle of the desert. When is the last time you saw a group of Native American guys walking down the sidewalk together? You haven't...that's when. All I hear is that the white man is holding you down and keeping you from achieving your dreams because he owned your great grandpa. Guess what? The white man stole my great grandfather's land, killed his children, raped his women, wiped out his food source and gave him small-pocks.
