[Non-Sequitur]

I honestly hope many others see this the same as I do.

Nope. Regardless of what happened in the store, if the witnesses are correct then the police officers appear to have acted in a reckless and irresponsible manner in shooting this man. If their careers and their freedom are forfeit then it's due entirely to their own actions and not Costco.

On the other hand, a police officer in Oakland shoots and unarmed man in the back and kills him and gets off with manslaughter. Maybe these guys will get a California jury like that?

“On the other hand, a police officer in Oakland shoots and unarmed man in the back and kills him and gets off with manslaughter. Maybe these guys will get a California jury like that?”

An unarmed, handcuffed man with 2-3 officers in the immediate area.

And maybe caucasians will riot?

I agree the police have primary blame. They did, after all, pull the trigger.

But Costco also has part of the blame for inciting the situation. Witness reports are starting to come forward that confirm what we all suspected. Some liberal twit Costco employee saw his concealed handgun, got into an argument with him about it, and called the cops to report a crazed gunman in the store.

And I will add the Costco employee needs to be charged with accessory for supplying a false story.
