However, the dispatch log, which paints a picture of an emotionally disturbed person, would be relevant, as the officers would have heard the radio calls prior to the shooting.

(I supposed the Costco employees, if it turns out they lied about Scott's behavior inside the store, may have set themselves up for some civil liability, but that's way outside my lane.)



Your version of how the incident started is complete conjecture. The fact is you and I don't know what happened there, to include how officers first made contact with Scott and how the encounter escalated from there. You've made a lot out of SWAT cops screaming commands in a previous thread and mentioned it in this one. It is clear you are biased against police. So be it, but try not to let the bias cloud your reasoning and the things you write.

I am biased against a number of people shouting commands and expecting everybody to 1. Understand what they are all saying and 2. Comply with with what they are all saying - immediately.

five-o,
See the posts above, two men disagreeing without being assholes. We already have enough assholes on this board. Argue/disagree nice or take it elsewhere. This is not a request.
