"The old man, described by a family member as "wobbly" on his feet, had refused medical attention. The paramedics were called. They brought in the Park Forest police.First they tased him, but that didn't work. So they fired a shotgun, hitting him in the stomach with a bean-bag round. Wrana was struck with such force that he bled to death internally, according to the Cook County medical examiner.
"The Japanese military couldn't get him at the age he was touchable, in a uniform in the war. It took 70 years later for the Park Forest police to do the job," Wrana's family attorney, Nicholas Grapsas, a former prosecutor, said in an interview with me Thursday.
Wrana's family wants answers. The Illinois State Police are investigating the horrific incident but won't comment, and neither will the Park Forest police pending the outcome of the inquiry."
Hard to say what to think. If he indeed had a knife, it makes it harder to say if their actions were justified.
He couldn't even get around without a walker. Do you really think that the average policeman couldn't disarm a 95 year old invalid without resorting to bean bag rounds? Not to mention the fact that both staff and family say he didn't have a knife.

Say he had a knife: how would you suggest they disarm him?
I really loved Chicago--what a corrupt deplorable city it has become....so where is the outrage? Oh yeah it's Obama's "boy" taking care of it right?
It will implode in the next year or two-can you say bankruptcy?
