I’m a big supporter of law enforcement. They have a tough, thankless job.
But this just comes across as excessive to me.
I wasn’t there, though.

“Staff claimed that he was sitting in a chair during the row”
I’d say it sounds excessive

"I wasnt there, though."Nice how you qualified it all. What a bootlicker!
They were probably all dressed up like ninjas for their trip to the nursing home. If he would have had a dog, those pigs would have killed it too.

One unanswered question would be where was the man’s family?
They might have been able to calm him. Someone sure needed to before the police were called. How many truly dangerous 95 year olds do any of us know. Once the police are in on it, it is going to be luck of the draw as to how things play out. In this case another veteran is dispatched for lack of social skills on the part of the police.

He was behaving in ‘combative’ manner, by threatening staff with his cane and a shoehorn. Wrana was reportedly scheduled to undergo a risky surgery, and was apparently afraid to end up on life support.
If the man didn’t want the surgery why were they going to force him to it?
I guess he didn’t end up on life support, he ended up dead....
The man should have the freedom to refuse surgery, freedom means making bad decisions sometimes, this is concept progressives don’t understand at all...

But he was then moved to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he died was euthanized at about 2.30am.

What are the chances that the cops were a bunch of blacks who, like the OJ jury, or the “justice for trayvon” crowd, don’t care much for the life of a white person?

Couldn't agree more. But you have your share of idiots in every profession (bad engineers, bad bus drivers, bad teachers, bad bank managers, etc.) It does scare me when municipalities hire cops at starting salaries below $30K. At that point you're almost trolling for idiots.

Yes and one that is 95 years old too!
Do I really need the sarc/ for that?

“A 95 year old dude sitting in a chair? You are not only a supporter but you are wearing kneepads. “
My opinion is that if two or three male nurses could not control a 95 year old bedridden man then there is something wrong with those nurses!! They should have never called the police in the first place!

At this point, what difference does it make? Just an old White ex-army guy. No need to grab his dangerous cane and assault weapon shoe horn. No need for the burly cops, armed with guns, tasers, bear spray, nightsticks and handcuffs to surround the guy and take away the dangerous weapons. Just knock the $h!t out of the old guy. So what if he dies? Jesse jackson and al sharpton are not gonna do a war dance over this. The feds won’t investigate a civil rights complaint.
Just one more old White ex-army guy.
Who gives a $h!t?

I agree, and the truth is somewhere probably somewhere in between both sides' stories.
What I didn't care for is how the man was identified as a,"world War II veteran." His status as a veteran is admirable, but its not a "get out of jail free" card.
