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.

Very true. But the cops were wearing body cams. But even they can be carefully edited to show what the authorities want them to show.
Just like the media can edit them to paint a different picture.
