My hero........
==========================================

PINE BLUFF, Ark. (KTHV) - A 107-year old Pine Bluff man died Saturday after a shootout with officers and S.W.A.T. members. The Pine Bluff Police Dept. released the following information about the incident on Saturday evening.

"On September 7, 2013, at approximately 4:25 p.m., Officers of the Pine Bluff Police Department responded to a disturbance at 1411 W. 16th.

When they arrived, they were able to determine that an Aggravated Assault had occurred against two people at the residence. The suspect, Monroe Isadore (M, 107 years old), had pointed a weapon at them. The officers had the two victims leave the residence, for their safety, and approached the door to the bedroom where Isadore was supposed to be.

When officers announced themselves, Isadore shot through the door at them. No officer was hit or injured by the gunfire. The officers retreated to a safer area and supervisors and additional help were called. Supervisors began negotiating with Isadore as soon as they arrived. S.W.A.T. (Special Weapons and Tactics) was also called out.

Negotiations continued for some time and when S.W.A.T arrived, negotiations still continued. S.W.A.T. was able to insert a camera into the room, where Isadore was, and confirmed he was armed with a handgun. S.W.A.T. inserted gas into the room, after it was evident negotiations were unsuccessful, in hopes Isadore would surrender peacefully. When the gas was inserted into the room, Isadore fired rounds at the S.W.A.T. officers that had inserted the gas from outside a bedroom window.

Shortly afterwards, a S.W.A.T. entry team, inside the residence, breached the door to the bedroom and threw a distraction device into the bedroom. Isadore then began to fire on the entry team and the entry team engaged Isadore, killing him.

The investigation is still ongoing."

Hero? What did he accomplish?

As for aggravated assault because he pointed a weapon at 2 "victims", maybe this is how we should treat cops who point their "loaded" weapons at innocent victims.

[Neuro]

I would say it is quite an accomplishment to live for 107 years and go like that, extraordinary actually, but I don't think it makes him a hero, nevertheless impressive!

[Ponce]

To me a hero is one who tries even if he knows that he is going to die.......you must fight no matter what.

Too many things left out of the report...

Was this the old man's house?

What did two alleged victims want from the old man?

I agree with Ponce.


When the gas was inserted into the room, Isadore fired rounds at the S.W.A.T. officers that had inserted the gas from outside a bedroom window.

They were the aggressors here, trying to poison gas him (hmm, where have we heard that before?). He, at 107 years old, attempted to defend himself and was murdered for it. I hope those rotten officers who tried to gas this old man burn in hell.

Maybe we can get the president to bomb and destroy the Arkansas police force for gassing civilians.

There are obviously exceptions to the 'moral obscenity' of using chemical weapons, like when it's for preserving the illusion of the US, Inc.

I'm wondering in some circumstances, why the SWAT (Special Weapons Assassination Team) can't just tranquilize-dart some of these people, like they do animals, instead of just cutting them down

Where's the adrenaline charge from doing that when you're accustomed to using your license to KILL?

Because the goal is not to diffuse the situation, the goal is to make sure every person knows that if you dare to defy the establishment, you will be murdered.

The best weapon that there is is the word of mouth.....sorry to say that cops don't kow how to talk, or listen.

In the new word the sound of a gun is lourder than the sound of a word.

I would like to nominate the Pine Bluff, Arkansas S.W.A.T. team for the "Slave Slayer of the Month" award.

They beat out the previous goon squad that settled on a 95 year old man. Granted, the Lake Forest P.D. (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-07-28/news/chi-autopsy-bean-bag-rounds-fired-by-police-killed-park-forest-man-95-20130728_1_park-forest-man-metal-cane-bean-bag-rounds) would have won had the award been available.

Bravo gents, Bravo...


If you can't smell the sarcasm, I can't help you.

The cops tried to negotiate with him, even after he shot at the police. Read this from the article..

"When officers announced themselves, Isadore shot through the door at them. No officer was hit or injured by the gunfire. The officers retreated to a safer area and supervisors and additional help were called. Supervisors began negotiating with Isadore as soon as they arrived. S.W.A.T.

Negotiations continued for some time..."

This guy assaulted two people, two victims. He committed a crime. He then went and shot at the police.

Regardless of his age, you can't harm others and expect to get away with it.

lol Donut munchers do this everyday with impunity.

Gawd I love irony.

Negotiations my ass. Threats would be a better word for it. The man was one hundred and seven years old, what do you think he heard other than threats that they were going to kill him? Then they toss some gas canisters in his house? You think a 107 year old could survive a tear gas attack? So he fought for his life, but lost. Fuck their "negotiations".

[midnight rambler]

Here's the standard for 'negotiations' with the donut munchers: Accept *our* terms unconditionally or else we'll kill you then high five each other over your corpse.

[Uncle Salty]

This sounds like suicide by cop. The old man wanted to die, so he shot at cops.
