Not a word yet on the SECURITY CAMERAS VIDEO.
The LV police Captain had the video shipped off to CALIFORNIA because , even though he doesn’t know if it exists, or if the cameras were on, or were working, or what is on the video, he is sure they can ‘FIX’ it, given eternity to do so.
MY PREDICTION: By the time they get the video back, it will show SCOTT driving a TANK through COSTCO and running over babies in shopping carts.
Bookmark and Costco Ping!
While it's appearing more than likely that law enforcement has made a huge mistake here, I would like to hear a recording of the initial call. I strongly suspect that would answer lots of questions.
Put the hands up & keep em there.
"They have police investigating police reporting to police," Scott says,
That pretty much sums it up and tells us where all this is going.
Scott sounds just like the type of low life scum who would draw a handgun on police officers and cops of course would never lie about what actually happened. /SARC big-time
Why don’t they show the pictures of the Amish bastards who killed him?
I wouldn’t be surprised if it is determined that Scott drew his gun as a trained response to a threat.
The British made the mistake of gunning down innocent Americans. Once.
It could [and should] be argued that the police are the very “standing armies” that the founders were so afraid of... of course there is also the matter of our Active Army too.
Everything I've read about this and the eyewitness accounts suggests otherwise. They would have released the video already if they could show him pulling his gun that way.
Reports I’ve read have the police giving him conflicting orders - among them the order to ‘drop it’. Apparently he had no idea he was the reason for the evacuation. If the gun was in his waistband then he may have been trying to comply with and overly excited cop’s confusing command.
Why no war dance with Jessee Jackson and the “rev” Sharpton?
Oh - I just looked at the picture.
That is the EXACT response advised by Tom Grisham on his radio show “Gun Talk”.
Put your hands up above your head and keep them there until the cops cool down and recognize that you are not a threat. Don’t surrender your rights, but at the same time don’t give them ANY indication that you are reaching for a weapon.
While your hands are above your head and they quit shouting sometimes conflicting orders, wait until they have quieted and then explain that yes you are armed and have the legal right to do so via CCW or in some states, state citizenship.
Never, ever reach below your shoulders until the situation is defused and calmer heads prevail.
Police in many jurisdictions already have an attitude that if they are called to a location for any reason they have the right/duty to shoot someone. If there is a dog present it seems they must discharge that right/duty by shooting the dog. If there is no dog present then maybe one of the kids or mom or dad. I sometimes wonder if it is written in their union contracts.
I doubt there was any mistake.
Can you say “police state?” Kill with impunity, suppress any evidence. FU, citizen.
