Probably one dropped item, if that, and a nutty manager who created this whole tragic mess.

I don't think you can lay this man's death at the manager's feet. The manager didn't call the police with the intent of having the man killed.

Read the early articles. They said an armed man was in the store acting erratically and destroying merchandise. None of the more than 40 witnesses back that up.

He has some culpability if he lied about Mr. Scott’s demeanor and reactions.

I agree that the intent of the manager wouldn't have been to get this man killed. That said, if ANYONE phones the police to report an armed man destroying things they'd have to know that would elicit one heck of a response. And that's exactly what happened.
