One of the officers has been charged.

An officer was charged this morning in the police killing of 95-year-old John Wrana, the World War II veteran who was fatally shot with beanbag rounds in his apartment at a south suburban senior facility last year.

Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez’s office said patrolman Craig Taylor, 43, was charged with one count of reckless conduct, a Class 4 felony. Taylor has been with the Park Forest Police Department since January, 2004.

Class 4 felony is the same charge you would get for second conviction of shoplifting.

Wait, if someone dies as a result of someone else committing a felony isn't it murder? At least according to every crime drama I've ever seen.

Every cop on this site will be in here before long talking about how justice has been served. Don't lump all cops in with the bad apples

frick! The old guy was 95. How much of a life did he really have left? The cop saved medcare some money on future medications and illnesses.

Cops are scum.

Yes generalization, but there are so few exceptions I'm ok with with it. The idiots cop apologists on this board are the very people who make this crap possible.

Cops are quickly becoming the most despised people in society. I'd guess they're below pedophiles at this point.

In all seriousness , I worked for 6 years in an inpatient, geriatric psych unit and had to subdue combative patients with dementia on a regular basis.

I never used a taser, bean bag shotgun or anything like that.

I'd put on rubber gloves, a long sleeved shirt and use two female nurses. One nurse to hold the legs while I had them up top and another to give the injection.

No SWAT needed.

Man survives one of the worst conflicts in human history only to be done in by jerkoffs with bean bags.

Refuse medical treatment for your own health and we kill you with bean bags from a shotgun instead.

Guy was Ninety freaking Five years old, served in Burma in WWII, and survived it all, only to be shot dead in America with bean bags from American Police Officers who had to use shotguns, riot shields and tasers in an assisted living old folks facility against an 95 year old veteran who didn't want to receive treatment, and weeks before his birthday. That's real fricking cute right there.

He's 95. Let the old guy do what he wants. He's more than earned that right.

go America.

frick these Americans. They weren't worth the sacrifices of that war. They deserve to be under the control of the fricking Nazis. They have become the Nazis.

Though Wrana was infirm and needed a walker or a cane to get around, police considered him armed and dangerous. They said he brandished a cane, a knife and a 2-foot-long metal shoehorn that some officers initially took for a machete.



Frick man. WTF is wrong with these cops.

Police responded with a Taser, a riot shield, a shotgun with beanbag rounds and one drawn handgun when they rushed him. An Illinois State Police inquiry of the case determined that Taylor fired the 12-gauge Mossberg police shotgun five times at Wrana.

Park Forest police used shotgun beanbag rounds from Combined Tactical Systems Inc. The rounds travel up to 190 mph, and manufacturer’s guidelines recommend that shooter be between 21 and 50 feet from the target. An independent pathologist who studied the original autopsy report said that it appeared Wrana had at least four impact wounds to his abdomen.


Sad. He is 96 years old. You don't need to beanbag the man.
