When John Wrana was a young man, fit and strong and fighting in World War II with the U.S. Army Air Corps, did he ever think he'd end this way?

Just a few weeks shy of his 96th birthday, in need of a walker to move about, cops coming through the door of his retirement home with a Taser and a shotgun.

The old man, described by a family member as "wobbly" on his feet, had refused medical attention. The paramedics were called. They brought in the Park Forest police.

And they are taking boatloads of our money to do this. Then they retire and want more boatloads of money to enjoy themselves.

It's truly mind boggling why we would tolerate the whole situation for another minute.
