“WRONG. He put up his hands; yes, but you do NOT KNOW IF HE THEN REACHED FOR THE GUN TO DRAW AND SHOOT, ORwent to surrender the weapon.”
Are you on drugs? Scary delusional.
The officer told him to drop it. If he didn’t want him to disarm or go near his gun he shouldn’t have given the order. Right? Moron.
Others yelling different conflicting orders all at the same time and he’s supposed to instantly follow the correct order in 3 tenths of a second or he’s dead. As the girlfriend said, they would have shot him no matter what he did.
The girlfriend’s account:
“In a recorded interview, Scott’s girlfriend, Samantha Sterner, describes what happened at Costco on July 10.
Sterner said she saw Scott talking to a store employee, but “he was not irritated. The Costco employee did not seem irritated. Neither one of them was hostile.”
She said neither one of them threw anything in the store. Scott went to get another shopping cart, then an employee told her to evacuate, she said.
Scott returned and they agreed to walk out to the car and drop off the gun. She said while they were walking out of the store, they saw a police officer.
“He immediately draws his weapon, immediately, without hesitation,” Sterner said in the recording.
The officers told Scott to get on the ground, she said. Scott put his hands above his head, tried to tell the officer he was going to disarm and then slowly moved his right hand down to the gun, Sterner said.
Sterner said she kept screaming at the officer: “’Do not shoot, he’s a concealed weapons holder, he’s a military officer, do not shoot.’”
“I said it a million times,” she said.
She said the officer shot Scott once, then Scott started to fall back before the officer shot him twice more. She said she didn’t see any other officers fire.
Sterner said in the recording she thinks the officer would have fired no matter what Scott did.
“He was extremely aggressive from the get-go,” she said. “I just think this officer was out of line.”
Sterner also said Scott never held the gun by the handle and it never came out of the holster, but he did hold the front of the gun to try to disarm.
You spewed, “Are you on drugs? Scary delusional.” So we can ask, do you want to discuss the issues or sling insults and bluster at posters until you and a handful of agenda driven posters are all that’s left on the thread?
