wow.

Did anyone hear about the elderly man that was shot and killed by Foley police last week when they were executing a search warrant for pot?

I found out yesterday the man killed was the grandfather of a friend of mine

Re: wow.

  • I didn't hear about this, I guess they had a reason to shoot him?
  • I didn't hear about that.  The article says he shot a police officer in the leg.  The cops were given paid leave, yet I think they'll find it justifiable considering this man fired first. 

    I tell ya, the Alabama Bureau is busy lately, with this happening and the incident with the 5 cops in Bham.

  • To be honest, I don't think he really knew what was going on so it just sucks that her grandfather was killed like this over something his son did. Especially because she's just recently (last few years) been able to spend time with her grandparents and she's getting married next month

    Oh yeah,  I totally agree that it sucks, especially considering he was killed over something that was caused by another person. 

  • I just found out he was in the Korean War and Viet Nam and suffered PTSD from Viet Nam. There's other stuff I found out about this whole thing but I don't want to say more than that since the family will eventually be making a statement
