POLICE BRUTALITY - 72 Year Old Grandpa Shot & Killed By Cops In His Own Driveway
A 72-year-old grandfather - a law-abiding family man, his neighbors said - was shot Tuesday by police in the driveway of his home after he stepped outside to check on a noise on his quiet street in East Fort Worth, Texas. The details of the shooting Tuesday night, which shocked Jerry Waller's friends and family, are fuzzy so far. But what is clear from police is that when Waller went to investigate what he thought was a disturbance near his garage, he took his .38-caliber handgun with him. When uniformed officers arrived to investigate a neighbor's burglar alarm across the street from Waller's house, the two rookies apparently felt in danger when they saw Waller in his driveway holding the gun, and fired at him six times. Fort Worth Police spokeswoman Tracey Knight said that "policies and procedures were followed ... Officers are taught when they go to a call to survey the entire landscape and not just the small area of where the call is." Fort Worth Police Chief Jeff Halstead said his department was investigating the shooting, and added that the two officers had been put on routine administrative leave. The victim's son, Chris Waller, said in an email to the Star-Telegram that the police account of the shooting was inaccurate. "My father never stepped outside of his garage. He was shot multiple times in the chest only a few steps away from the doorway to his kitchen," he wrote. Former Fort Worth City Councilwoman Becky Haskin told the Star Telegram that she was awakened by gunfire at 1:07 a.m. "The shots came really rapidly one after another," she said. "My husband, who knows a lot about firearms, said he thought it was the police because of the way the shots came so fast." Immediately, other officers swarmed the street "I was told by an officer that (Waller) wouldn't put his gun down," Haskin said. "It is really an awful, terrible thing." http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/texas-grandpa-shot-cops-driveway-article-1.1357949#ixzz2UjPcPqTc

Its quite annoying after awhile of hearing the same old lines american police seems to always use in all there dealings with the public, ie (I FELT A THREAT) Obviously this line is used as somekind of code to the higher ranking officers,
(Cover my A**s) And in most cases they do, & get away with it, until someone comes forward with daming evidence ie vid or cameras footage, then I notice they retract there statement and comply to another false statement that fits the video taping to suite it to there advantage, What a bunch of hipocrites & weazles thank goodness for cell phones and cameras. they are the biggest criminal of all, and for those cops who are good & know they are doing wrong yet do nothing about the corruption are know better of then the corrupt cops. -
The only good cop is a dead one, if they take lives, we should too.
-
Shoot and kill innocent man.
The officers were afraid, but unhurt.
That's one hell of an incentive to get paid vacation.

welcome to amerika, the continuation of the occult satanic third reich where you live your entire life as an upstanding citizen, defend your country with your blood and in the end you get executed bu some coward ass scared little bitch with a badge and a gun.
Training of US police teaches the police to see only police lives as
valuable and the lives of the public as potential threats to police
lives. This is why American police often murder a wrongly
suspected person and almost always an unarmed one. The examples are
numerous. You can spend much of your life just watching on youtube the
existing videos of wanton murders of US citizens by police. BEGIN THE EXODUS, THERE IS GOING TO BE A SWIFT END TO LUCIFER'S ,WHORE HOUSE OF DEAD PIGS. THEIR CALAMITY WILL COME UPON THEM IN AN HOUR AND THEIR COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION IN A SINGLE DAY,
FUCK THIS DEAD PIG SHIT HOLE OF OCCULT SATANIC MURDERING RAPIST
FAGGOTS, THE UNITED FAGGOT FUCK STATES LAWLESS GOVERNMENT. THESE NIGGERS
ARE ALREADY DEAD AND TOO ARROGANT AND TOO STUPID TO KNOW IT.

Chickenshit candy assed faggot pigs can't take half a second to determine who they are shooting at. They should both eat their own weapons.
-
of course he didnt put his gun....
oh wait they feared for public safety
oh wait he was coming towards them in a menacing manner
oh wait he was 72 years old on his own property and was murdered by the police. -
Way to many cops shooting innocent people in this country.
-
They were sobbing for their pensions!! The bottom line is this. Did the cops tell Mr. Weller to drop his weapon AFTER they identified themselves a police officers? That is the crux of this case. This is a very nice neighborhood. This isn't the hood. Cops should have known that neighbors look out for one another and are probably armed when they hear an alarm go off.

I sure hope Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson showed up in Ft. Worth to march for this man who was killed in his own driveway. Thank God we have Rev. Sharpton and Rev. Jackson to back up ALL colors who have been fucked by the police.
-
they should be in jail waiting on the death penalty , after all it Texas, the kill me state.
-
It's disgusting when cops hide behind the "I was afraid so I shot and killed him" defense. What's more amazing are the scum bag DAs who say, "welll he was afraid so it was a justifiable shooting."
