A 107-year-old man was killed in a shootout with police, after he held two people at gunpoint in the US state of Arkansas, authorities said.
Officers had the threatened pair leave the home and approached a bedroom. Police say Isadore shot through the door at officers but missed hitting them.
More officers were called, including a SWAT team that inserted a camera into the room and confirmed Isadore had a handgun.
Police say SWAT officers released gas into the room when negotiations didn't work. They say Isadore shot at officers and they fired back, killing him.

Did you even read the stories you linked to?

If you're so scared, you can't take a few warning shots fired in your general direction, then you are unfit to be a peace officer.

Sounds like some pretty pathetic "police" to me.
But none of that is really even the point.
The point is that we live in a police state where executions by firing squad are now SOP.

My regards to those who had to confront this crazy bastard.

Plausible explanation.
What does that say though, that he could just wait in his house to be killed?
What happens when the day comes for confiscation?
Should we just wait in our homes for Homeland Security to come murder us?

I agree with some of the other posters that say this was a good shoot. On the other hand, if I live to 107 years old I'm goin' out the same damn way just on principle alone.

What does any of that have to do with the linked stories? The guy was holding people at gun point, the cops didn't randomly stop here because they knew he had guns in the house, they had reason to be there - and reason to shoot.
Either your tinfoil is too tight, or your trollin' hard.

What is the point, the make believe stuff you added? Surely you must have way more experience with being shot at by grandpa's than the rest of us, since you seem to know that SWAT was out of line here by not knowing the difference between a warning shot and actually being shot at.
I guess they should have just walked in, handed him a pipe and said listen old man that's enough... go back watching Andy Griffith re-runs.
