Sounds like the Costco employee made up the “man going beserk” part because a citizen had the nerve to defy him. the police then overreacted partly based on false information. This is what liberalism and statism hath wrought.

Ironically, I’m pretty sure that the victim, using his weapon, would have gladly intervened to save this liberal puke’s life if there had been a real shooter on the loose in the Costco store.

Not quite. The police then murdered an innocent and endangered many other innocents wholly based on indulging their own authoritarian power trips. Multiple eyewittess counts confirm that the man was doing ZERO for them to overreact to.

This is from a person who grew up in a community of small towns that had some very, very GOOD cops whose wisdom and ability to remain calm and humble no doubt saved MANY a misdirected youth from choosing a bad road, instead gently urging them to the good road toward productive adulthood. In this same community, there were one or two BAD cops whose stupidity, arrogance, and tendency to panic certainly created criminals out of misdirected kids who came to have an ingrained hatred and contempt for all law enforcement.

Bad cops are WORSE than criminals because their collateral damage is far more wide-ranging.
