Trial has concluded with a not-guilty verdict for Officer Craig Taylor, the cop that tasered and then shot multiple bean bag rounds fired from a shotgun that killed John Wrana Jr., who was only days away from celebrating his 96th birthday as one of our oldest living World War 2 veterans.
Taylor was charged with felony reckless conduct, although he should have been be tried for murder. When excessive force becomes this blatant we are outside of the bounds of considering that the officer was operating within police authority.

I hope he is sentenced to death
Cops use to be able to handle people without killing them. And they didn’t have tazers or bean bags. Not only that, they weren’t shooting someones dog on a daily basis.
I agree, they definitely are not very competent if the cannot disarm an 90 year old man.
I agree Sandy .
A jury will decide from the evidence we didn’t know or hear, if the police are guilty or not.
disgraceful acts of gestapo type
This is disgusting and shameful
This is so sad, it shouldn’t have happened!!
People like ME Joe? Who am I Joe? Someone with experience in similar situations. And it would seem he was a pretty tough 95 year old – tased and bean bagged before he dropped the knife and went down. My point was the officer did use “non-lethal” force. BOTH of those weapons were designed to replace a sidearm and be non-lethal . . . that didn’t prove true in this instance. So, to espouse that the officer killed him on purpose, which many have, falls short. He used non-lethal weapons. He doesn’t have to put himself at increased risk of being stabbed, sliced or killed by “taking” the knife away – it ain’t Hollywood gentlemen. Is it tragic? Yes, absolutely. Did he “deserve to be killed? No. Was it premeditated by the officer? I doubt it but a jury will decide that.
First of all ken, I guess you’re just going to IGNORE the fact that the cop was Black! (Which is WHY this got NO PRESS! Cuz it wouldn’t make Jackson, or Sharpton any MONEY!) SECONDLY, You don’t KNOW me. I don’t want ANYONE killed UNJUSTLY by COPS (of ANY COLOR), so SHUT THE @&#$ UP!
