84-Year-Old WWII Veteran Daniel Daley Suffers Broken Neck After Being Thrown to Ground by Police Officer

SHOCK: Orlando Police have been accused of breaking the neck of an 84-year old man, Daniel Daley, after he was thrown to the ground by an officer Saturday night, after he allegedly put his hands on the cop. Daley, a World War II veteran, was reportedly upset that his car was about to be towed.

According to CF News 13, the Ivanhoe Grocery owner recently posted signs warning drivers because customers of other businesses were parking in their spots. The police were called and said Daley, who'd been drinking, had put his hands on the officer. Okay, okay, so he had no right to put his hands on the officer, but what could an 84 year-old possibly do to harm the cop, particularly if he was unharmed? Nothing. The officer used excessive force, in my opinion.

Witnesses say he put his hands on the officer three times and the cop warned him to stop each time. Police say Daley made a fist and said "I'm not leaving until I knock this cop out." Another witness says the officer then violently hip checked him and took him to the ground. Daley ended up in Florida Hospital with a broken neck. Source

Sorry, but an elderly person does not deserve to be thrown on the ground and their neck broken. This is just another incident excessive force by a police officer.
