85 year old arrested in the middle of the night

I haven't seen a thread about this yet. I apologize if I missed it. It's no wonder they're trying to take our guns away when the police are doing this kind of crap.

So they had a warrant for his arrest, I am also curious what judge signed it.

When the police are doing this? Maybe poor judgement on timing to serve the warrant, but other than that even if the person hit wasn't a cop the guy didn't need to strike the off-duty LEO with a freaking CANE! I may not 100% agree with DPD's execution of serving a warrant, but I do agree that this elderly fellow does deserve to be arrested for felony assault.

serving warrants after dark is stupid. Unless it is extremely important to pick the individual up. These should be done during daylight hours. For the publics safety, as well as the safety of the officers.

FELONY assault? Deadly weapon? No.

I agree that you shouldn't hit anyone with a cane, but this should be billed as a misdemeanor.

well i hope they gave that old fart the beating of his life . we need to put a stop to the elderly thinking that they can just use a cane all willy nilly . my heart goes out to that poor officer that was brutally attacked buy that viscous thug . i bet he is part of the aarp gang i keep hearing about on the boob tube . if we dont put an end to cane's , walkers and hoverrounds then our police will never be safe from these elderly hoodlums and ruffians !

And what the fuck does MLK have to do with this???
“It’s tragic that on the eve on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s letter from a Birmingham jail that an elderly 85 year old man is sitting in jail on $50,000 bond and charged with a felony based on a handicapped sticker.” said Brother Jeff Fard, a longtime community leader and Director at Brother Jeff’s Cultural Center."

Playing the race card AGAIN???

Where the mistake was made...which is on the officer based on what was stated about the events.

1. He reached into the vehicle without permission
2. He grabbed the man

Serving the warrant at midnight for an elderly man, seems at the very least vindictive. We all know in this community perception of the facts often carries more sway than the facts.

Sorry, I disagree. No reason for an off- duty cop to bully an old man over a damn handicap space and expired placard. He could have handled it more professionally. Don't start none, won't be none.
