Americans who have elderly relatives with age-onset dementia should remove their car keys and guns, especially people of color. The world's oldest police victim died yesterday in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, killed by a SWAT team because he had a gun. Monroe Isadore was 107 years of age. His roommate reported that Isadore was belligerent and uncooperative with police who answered her emergency 9-1-1 call, which she made after Isadore reportedly brandished a handgun and threatened her and his daughter. Isadore, who apparently suffered from age-onset dementia and was reportedly deaf and legally blind, became agitated when told that he would need to move to an apartment. Probably because Isadore was a black man and this happened on the NFL kickoff weekend, police dealt with the crisis swiftly, and Isadore was killed in a hail of at least 30 bullets.

World's Oldest Police Victim: Monroe Isadore,
http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2013/09/worlds-oldest-police-victim-monroe.html
Upon learning that Arkansas SWAT had killed one of the oldest citizens in the USA, one might wonder how long the standoff lasted - only 3 hours from the emergency 9-1-1 call to the bloody finish, according to NPR's report, an excerpt of which is below:
PINE BLUFF, AR (Sunday, September 8, 2013)—Isadore was pronounced dead just before 7:30 p.m. — about three hours after the incident began, according to the The Pine Bluff Commercial newspaper. No police officers were injured. Police say their investigation is continuing.
---------------
Another standoff happened in Texas two days later. It lasted nine hours. The perpetrator (whose name was withheld, probably because he is a Caucasian) was arrested, unlike Isadore, who died in a hail of 30 or more bullets. The Texan had actually shot a policeman in his head, whereas Isadore had hurt no one, had no hostages, and nobody was in immediate danger. If Isadore had been given nine hours, he would undoubtedly have fallen asleep or died of old age. See the excerpt from KWTX.com below:
SAN ANTONIO (September 9, 2013)—A standoff that started Monday morning at a motel in downtown San Antonio after a police officer was shot while responding to a family disturbance dragged on for nine hours before it ended late Monday afternoon. The man suspected of shooting the officer was barricaded in a first-floor room of the two-story motel, but was taken into custody at around 5 p.m. Monday.
---------------
A third police standoff is currently underway in Madison, Wisconsin, which has lasted for nearly three hours so far. If the perpetrator is a black man, his time should be up soon. An excerpt from NBC15.com is below:
Monday, September 9, 2013 --- 6:43 p.m. Madison Police are in the 400 block of Berwyn Drive trying to take a subject into custody. Parts of the area are blocked off. NBC15's Phil Levin is at the scene of this police standoff and police tell him they took a family member out of the home about around 4:00 p.m. Police say man in 50's is suspected to be alone inside still. The incident started around 2:30 p.m. when a 9-1-1 call came in from the man's concerned family.
The radio broadcast for Monday, September 9, 2013, for Real Talk with the Number 1 Doctors, hosted by Dr. Floyd Harris and Dr. Jean Kennedy, was dedicated to Mr. Monroe Isadore and other police victims who suffered from age-onset dementia, schizophrenia, and other mental illness.

Some standoffs with police officers have lasted for days in the United States, but the incident involving Monroe Isadore, an elderly black man suffering from dementia, ended in under three hours with the centenarian's body riddled with police bullets. This, too, is racism.

America has approximately 50,000 centenarians, and only 8% of them are over age 104. We believe Monroe Isadore should be resting safely in a care home tonight. Instead, his body is in the morgue. Advocate for specially trained officers in every metropolitan area to handle lunacy arrests, please. The mentally ill suffer 50% of the deaths by police that happen in the United States and many overuse of force incidents that officers with special training would be equipped to avoid. A life is a terrible thing to waste.
