Don't call the cops

[krazy kris]

I really feel bad for all parties involved. I know FTP, but until video comes out saying they murdered this guy in cold blood, they were going to a burglary in progress from what probably came out over the radio. I know that anytime burglar gets caught, I would rather see him not walking away.

The cops pulled up to the wrong house and the victim was in his rear entry garage that couldn't be seen from the street. They never went to the house that had the false alarm

I hear ya man, but seriously, if you're answering a burglary call, would you think the 72 year old guy clad only in pants looking in the bushes is the bad guy?

Personally, I would be looking for Trayvon, not the WWII white guy...

I imagine he made a bad decision by either making a quick movement or raised his gun hand. Witnesses say they heard 5 gunshots one right after the other

According to them he refused to drop the gun.

I call bullshit. They killed him because they were punks, with badges!

And they don't deserve no stinkin' badges!

Seriously, Matt, Jimmy, wtf is going on over there guys?

fucking morons

You might get shot! WTF

Man dead after officer involved shooting in Ft. Worth
May 28, 2013 5:12 p.m.


A man is dead after being shot by Ft. Worth police in an overnight incident in a residential area.

Two officers responded to a residential burglar alarm call shortly before 1 a.m. on Tuesday in the 400 block of Havenwood Lane North and came upon a man with a handgun.

In a statement, police say the officers feared for their safety and shot Jerry Waller, 72. Police have not said whether or not Waller pointed his gun at the officers.

Waller was pronounced dead at the scene, shot and killed in his own garage.

Neighbor Becky Haskin, an ex-Ft. Worth council member, says there was no burglar and that a friend accidentally tripped her house alarm.

"The neighbor across the street walked out with a gun doing what neighbors do - checking on each other," said Haskin.

The officers have been placed on administrative leave while the incident is being investigated.
