70 year old motel guest shoots and kills armed robber.
As today's police officers you are not unlike your counterparts of years past. You are an elite group of select members, a brotherhood of highly trained professionals, who are called upon to protect your community in a time of need. Guardians for safety. Being a police officer is not for the faint of heart. You must be honest, trustworthy and fearless in the face of evil. You are being watched everyday. Represent yourself, your department and the shield, for it should always be the embodiment of all that is good and justly. You are the thin blue line. Be proud, be tough and be safe.

Aw, how sad.
Go geezers! I hope to one day join your venerable ranks, but until then I know better than to pick a fight with someone who has managed to live much longer. Good way to get dead.

Old age, deceit and treachery will beat youth, skill and enthusiasm every time. Rock on, Grandma.

I love stories where the good guy/gal wins
'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'

It's another little old lady from Pasadena. (go granny, go granny, go granny, go.) I hope she used a jacketed hollow point round on him. I hear they have great stopping power. Tsk Tsk when are these dirtbags going to learn not to pick on seniors, or anybody for that matter. Glad that Granny had the foresight to get a CCW for her weapon and knew how to use it. Even so, the dirtbag entered a inhabited dwelling. No CCW needed if I remember right. I guess he thought the senior citizen would be an easy mark. Well, he thought wrong, this time.
Choose The Right. When you're doing whats right, then you have nothing to worry about.
