This is what a quick search dug up:
He was evicted, it was not an attempted eviction
“They found Yanacheak in a bedroom, where he picked up a kitchen knife and walked towards them,”
I assume bodycam video will back up this claim. Just because they say it doesn’t mean it’s true.
““They found Yanacheak in a bedroom, where he picked up a kitchen knife and walked towards them,””
Yep. Another suicide by cop.
Cop high fives all.
Murder 3 charge needed...
This crap has to stop!
He put up some Resistance, but the cop made the Charge stick.
Did you see in NY that 8 illegals savagely attacked 2 cops when they were on the ground and none of them were detained, they all walked with no charges.
70,000v.
75-yr-old heart, w/ possible problems.
Not a good ending...
-The cause of Michael James Yanacheak’s death in Willmar is undetermined pending further investigation-
I can save them some time, Michael James Yanacheak’s heart was stopped when being tased.
Did the 75 year old suffer from dementia? Being elderly he should have been treated with deference—an eviction is traumatic, more so for elderly and even worse for those that may be senile or suffer from cognitive degeneration I donor know the man’s health status but at 75 I bet undiagnosed dementia may be underlying his actions. Then again he could just be an angry old
Foot that needs killin’
Why in blazes does a 49 year old sheriff have to taze a 75 year old? Just grab the dude by the arm and move him.
In some states it is harder to evict a dead person than a live one. Landlord has to deal with the estate and follow stringent rules to make sure the mans belongings are not tampered with. Since this guy was never evicted alive. then it might mean more trouble of the landlord.
I don’t for the life of me understand ‘eviction’ getting to this level unless it took years, yet alone this level of aggression to tase 70 something when PEOPLE SQUAT IN OTHER PEOPLE’S HOMES AND NOT ONE THING IS DONE TO MAKE THEM VACATE
Sounds from the name he might have been Caucasian and that might have been his problem. If had been an illegal alien the outcome might have been much better.
LEO's do what they are trained to do, but they knew he was a 76 year old man when they entered his apartment, perhaps he thought they were zombies? Perhaps like George Floyd he was already jacked up on a mix of narcotics.
Perhaps Social Services would have been a more reasonable interface? They might have been able to talk him out and provide temporary means of shelter.
It would be nice to know whether this renter indicted in the rental form family members to be contacted in event of emergency.
Was the eviction legally processed?
Did renter have a history or reputation of psychological problems?
Was he on Social Security and the rent had been raised recently several times?
Sad story, too many unknowns.
