Police gun down a 72 year old man checking on his neighbor’s burglar alarm.
FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – A grandfather checking on his neighbor is shot and killed by Fort Worth police. The shots rang out early Tuesday morning near Woodhaven Country Club, in east Fort Worth.
Those close to the family say the victim lived nearby and heard his neighbor’s burglar alarm. Neighbor Jerry Wayne Waller then apparently went outside to see what was going on.
The 72-year-old man didn’t even make it to the house across the street before he was shot. He died on his own property.

Incredibly sad and stupid. The only good news is that the victim was not black.
gatorg9,
You prove how strange you are with every comment you post.
Most will understand the point he’s making. Those with politically correct blinders on will not.
You must have missed the LA riots. Perhaps you aren’t old enough?
“gatorg9,

And Laz2.0, you prove what a liar you are with every comment.
Ever heard of Trayvon Martin, moron? 😆
And we have a problem with armed citizens? Seriously?
This is just beyond stupid. I hope the family, and indeed the neighborhood, sues the shit out of these so-called “peace officers”. F#$king joke…
Our police have been turned into an army of occupation, complete with tactical-swat-team Death Squads – All with complete impunity
The noble idea upon which this nation was based, is that the government is subject to the law, just like the rest of us. An idea long dead.
So much for the Rule of Law – welcome to Communo-Fascism
And some people wonder why the number of British police who are issued with guns is limited.
After the shooting Haskin said, “The police officers were sobbing uncontrollably and very distraught.” The POOR, DEAR BABIES – they are the real VICTIMS; they should immediately get a very long paid vacation (aka – administrative leave). /sarc
The COPS, NOT THE TAXPAYERS, should be sued from here to Tuesday and back again.
BTW – almost all the comments were very opposed to what the cops did.
Time for background checks on police officers so they can prove their are able and trained to be issued with anything more than pepper spray.
