A man who police said was 107 years old was killed in a confrontation with SWAT officers Saturday night. Police were called to a home in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, where suspect Monroe Isadore was. "When they arrived, they were able to determine that an aggravated assault had occurred against two people at the residence," Lt. David E. Price, a Pine Bluff police spokesman, said in a statement. The two victims were led out of the house. It was not clear what role the suspect had in the aggravated assaults or what they were. When officers approached a bedroom where Isadore was hiding, he fired through the door, authorities said. None of the police officers was hit by the gunfire. They retreated to a safer area and called for additional help, including SWAT officers who started negotiations with the suspect. SWAT officers slipped a camera into the room where Isadore was holed up and saw he was armed with a handgun, Price said. After unsuccessful negotiations, officers slipped gas into the room through a window, he said, and Isadore fired rounds at them. The officers broke the bedroom door and hurled in a distraction device, and Isadore fired at them again, according to the spokesman's statement. Officers returned fire, killing him. It's unclear what distraction device was used. No more information was immediately available. CNN called the police department, but could not reach anyone. In 2010, there were about 53,000 people over age 100 in the United States, according to the latest Census numbers. Only 8% of them were older than 104.
Pretty spunky for 107 years old. Imagine how wild / spunky he must have been when he was only 89?

#1. To: Stoner, GruberCare expired (#0)
Mitt's GruberCare death panel strikes again. Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research = Death Panel "The real substance of cost control is all about a single thing: telling patients they can’t have something they want,” admitted Gruber. “It’s about telling patients, ‘That surgery doesn’t do any good, so if you want it you have to pay the full cost.’” In other words, a group of people would make a determination about whether or not the treatments for an ill person are worth it. It is bureaucrats making health care decisions based largely on costs, and not always what is best for a patient.
Why didn't they just wait until he was napping?
Or forgot they were there. Chances are all they would have had to do was drive off and then come back 15 minutes later and knock on the door,and he'd have said something like "Hey guys,what's up?" ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Because for SWAT teams, it's more important to resolve matters quickly than peacefully.
"We (government) need to do a lot less, a lot sooner" ~Ron Paul
