Man accidentally triggers medical alert. Police officers sent to his home. Man repeatedly tells them through the door that he is fine. They insist on entering his home anyway. Man is frightened and extremely agitated and refuses to open door. Police break down door and kill him.

WTF was going on in those police officers' minds? A man, possibly suffering dementia, refuses to let them into his home. The only reason for the police to enter in the first place, is to offer medical assistance and to verify that he is ok. Family members offered to help mediate, but the police ignored it. Apparently, refusing the police entry into your house is enough for them to decide you deserve to be killed.

Has this been on the major national news shows? I rarely watch the news anymore, so I don't know.
