Immediately order a Justice Dept. investigation of the Chicago Police shooting/killing of an unarmed 95 year old Veteran

Created by T.C. on August 05, 2013

Police in Chicago responded to a geriatric center on a call of an elderly man who was being "combative" and refusing medication on July 28 2013. Police entered the "geriatric treatment center" with riot shields, tasers, and shotguns at the ready, where they found 95 year old world war 2 veteran John Wrana. Upon ordering the 95 year old man to comply, which he refused, they tased him. After the tasing left the man alive they then fired a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with a "bean bag round" directly into the man's chest at close range. Just after saying thank you and goodbye to a relative, John bled to death internally. Chicago police have taken no action against the officers, and are making quotes for the media such as "anyone can be dangerous" seemingly in support of the death.
