It's not a question of if it was murder or not, it sure looks like that on the surface of course, but the title shifts your perspective before you read the article. Did you even watch the video? There is an audio recording from his medical place that when the police knocked on the door he said he was fine, and then they busted the door down.
Yeah, it's not about the video though. Any normal person would look at this and say "yes obviously he murdered him", I do also, I am not defending his innocence. The word murder implies intent, I just think a better word could have been used, something less incriminating, less bias.

Oh man , when does it ever stop over there? Also, can cops even bust down a place without a court warrant?

Just imagine if there was no recording, there would be no evidence and the cops would go completely unpunished. Sad that we can't always have an eye (or ears) on them .
EDIT: Still waiting for more details though.

What makes you so sure they'll get punished now? It seems police can freely slaughter people, lie about it and escape any form of justice.

By "punished" I of course mean paid vacation and being moved to a desk job, standard for cops.

Can a mod please change the title. Yeah the evidence sounds convincing, but there is something called innocent until proven guilty, and this title is just sensationalism for the sake of stirring up drama.

I always hate it when a police officer abuses his power. It gives cops a bad name, when in reality a lot of them want to help their communities.

But even if it's a small percentage, the police offices move way to slow when one of their own does something wrong. They seem more likely to cover it up then to actually do anything about their officers.

Well let's see, the title is Cops "murder" 68 year old veteran in his own home. Then there's the tacked on veteran business, which makes no difference at all, but it's still plugged into the title to provoke emotion from the reader.

Why aren't cops recording voice and video all the time like the marines in the aliens movie? I'm mean seriously it would calm down potential criminals, curb police brutality and would be useful evidence in the court system.

As long as it's only when they're on duty and prosecution wouldn't be overzealous, this sounds like a good idea.

There is simply no way a man in that state of health could have posed any kind of threat to those policemen, save for pointing a gun at them which, according to the policemen THEMSELVES, was not the case, there was no reason to shoot him, what was the man going to do with a knife, hm? He could hardly walk for crying out loud, a taser would have been MORE then enough to subdue him if that was even neccesary in the first place.
This is straight up murder, there's no way to defend these idiots.
