Detroit Police shoot 85 year old man

Sign in to disble this ad
Detroit Police armed with a search warrant came to a house in Detroit looking for a man accused in a assault-with-intent-to-murder case. The mans 85 year old grandfather came to the door with a gun pointed at police. The police fired twice hitting the man in the arm and leg, he's expected to recover. I feel for the guy but I'm sorry, you just don't point a gun at police. O'h and by the way, the kid they were looking for was not at the home.

What the hell?! If there is one thing you don't do, it's point your gun at the police. The minute you do that all bets are off. I won't say the guy deserved to get shot but he definitely didn't give them much of a choice.

Honestly, he will probably get a gnarly infection.

Well, technically, you never point your gun at anything you don't plan to shoot.

Most definitely, especially if it can and will shoot you back, lol.

Also, can we use these two news stories (see 92 year old woman thread) as an eHarmony ad in the making?

Old Lady: ....

Someone 15, 25, 35 or 95, should fully expect to get shot if they point a gun at police.

True, this is really a non-issue to me.

No way he'll win if he tries. The bottom line is he was in the wrong and police take it VERY seriously if you point a Gun at them. I know I would....especially if you're looking for a known suspect in a crime. Who's to say that Pop's wasn't in on the deal ( seniors can be crooked too).

He should be thanking God that they only shot him in his appendages.

You mean he should be thanking God he got shot by the Detroit police instead of someone that actually knows how to shoot...

Of course everyone knows if an old person shoots you, you'll be less dead or less injured. That goes for younger people too. Tell that to the family of the Toledo Officer that was shot and killed by a 15 year old a year or two back.
