He’s not an old man at least not by state criminal statute.A person over the age of 60 is usually considered to be an,I hate to say this;Senior citizen.

Damn!I’m almost there.

I wonder if any of these SWAT members ever ask, “Is this really necessary?” or are they all punks?

Why on earth would they ask that?

It is now. It wasn’t just a few years ago when the Baby Boomers were useful to the liberals, so over course 60 was the new 30.

Unfortunately, the liberals are now putting their stock in the millenials, so now we’ve recycled back to the 60’s, and it’s ‘don’t trust anyone over 30 man’.

I’m 45 and I’ve went from ‘gee you’re not that old’ to ancient is just a few years, all from the pop culture change in mantra spoon fed to the high school/college crowd.

Instead of speaking with the retaliatory relative, ... “They could’ve came up to me and asked me what was going on, and they didn’t.”

Actual police work is apparently too taxing for today's "law enforcement" officers.

“the SWAT team members were concerned that he might brandish the hammer he happened to be holding as a weapon.”

“Put the hammer down”. How difficult is that?

Carpenters beware.

When TSHTF the millenials the left is relying upon will fold up and quiver at those millenials who still have a pair.

Pot County isn’t in northwest Iowa. It’s in the south central part of the state, on the border with Omaha, Nebraska. Is it asking too much for a journalist to consult an atlas when unsure of a story’s geography?

That quibble aside, I hope this guy wins the shirts off the thugs’ backs. I’m thinking a drive-up visit by the local sheriff would have sufficed.

But then the goons wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity to play nick-nack paddywack on some old man’s skull.

Over the weekend at a BBQ function some of the older guys were openly wondering when folks will start to strike back at these police abuses of power. My opinion is probably never. To much TV, boobs and beer to get excited about some old guy getting beat up.

Appears to be yet *another* case of thug cops escalating because they *CAN* and not because they *MUST*.

He was very fortunate that he wasn't killed.

From the looks of things nowadays, anytime you have an encounter with a member or members of law enforcement, you can expect a beatdown. Contact with should be avoided should be avoided at all cost. And should you see two or more coming toward you, expect to get the hell beat out of you.
