PINE BLUFF, Ark. (KTHV) - A 107-year old Pine Bluff man died Saturday after a shootout with officers and S.W.A.T. members. The Pine Bluff Police Dept. released the following information about the incident on Saturday evening.

"On September 7, 2013, at approximately 4:25 p.m., Officers of the Pine Bluff Police Department responded to a disturbance at 1411 W. 16th.

When they arrived, they were able to determine that an Aggravated Assault had occurred against two people at the residence. The suspect, Monroe Isadore (M, 107 years old), had pointed a weapon at them. The officers had the two victims leave the residence, for their safety, and approached the door to the bedroom where Isadore was supposed to be.

When officers announced themselves, Isadore shot through the door at them. No officer was hit or injured by the gunfire. The officers retreated to a safer area and supervisors and additional help were called. Supervisors began negotiating with Isadore as soon as they arrived. S.W.A.T. (Special Weapons and Tactics) was also called out.

Negotiations continued for some time and when S.W.A.T arrived, negotiations still continued. S.W.A.T. was able to insert a camera into the room, where Isadore was, and confirmed he was armed with a handgun. S.W.A.T. inserted gas into the room, after it was evident negotiations were unsuccessful, in hopes Isadore would surrender peacefully. When the gas was inserted into the room, Isadore fired rounds at the S.W.A.T. officers that had inserted the gas from outside a bedroom window.

Shortly afterwards, a S.W.A.T. entry team, inside the residence, breached the door to the bedroom and threw a distraction device into the bedroom. Isadore then began to fire on the entry team and the entry team engaged Isadore, killing him.

The investigation is still ongoing."

How would Andy of Mayberry handle that situation.

The difference between a Peace Officer and Law Enforcer.

Deescalation should be the standard procedure, instead of overwhelming violence.

How is deescalation cost efficient? 
Do you want those officers out there all day, when they could be out writing tickets to increase the general fund?
How are we supposed to increase our need for federal funds if we can just talk sense to someone who's having a hard time when can just blow them up and yell, "See?, do you see!?"

[Tom Sawyer]

Gee, I never thought of it like that. You're right, in order to get our money's worth got to use the Bearcat to crush a house every once in a while!

This used to be a death I dreamed for myself...

Then I read Ray Kurzweil, decided that I'll live forever, and thus became a pacifist.

That Kurzweil guy has been busy.
