According to the Costco counter worker, he drew, and pointed the gun directly at the cop.
How did those cops get the nice lady working the Costco counter to say that he pointed that gun straight at the officer? And why was your hero carrying a gun when he was as stoned as the Medical Examiner said he was?
He’s not exactly a CCW posterboy here.
Witnesses often screw things up, and other witnesses gave different accounts. Follow the physical evidence - the gun, and the time line from the audio records.
According to the DA (the cops), Scott’s weapon was found afterward STILL IN ITS HOLSTER. So no, he did NOT pull his gun and point it at the cop. They showed a photo of it at the inquest, lying on the ground in the holster.
Second, if he was stoned as you say, why didn’t Mosher notice something just 6 seconds prior to shooting Scott, when Scott walked by him?
Third, lets suppose Scott was high as a kite. Being high is not a crime with the death penalty. We don’t shoot people for being high. We shoot them for endangering the life of the cop. And to do that, he would have needed time to pull a gun (two seconds from first word to bullet leaving the gun) and he would have needed to do something that could have killed the cop. His gun was found in its holster, and even if it had been pulled, Scott would have needed to rack the slide. But it was in the holster.
Less than one second from the end of Mosher’s first sentence, while the other cops are still shouting, Mosher pulled the trigger. Why? Mosher never explained it. He said Scott wasn’t obeying his orders, but he never gave him a chance to obey. And we don’t shoot people for failing to obey the orders of a cop.
neither that or the 'cophater' label are relevant...facts are facts, and curly mosher had absolutely no evidence to suggest that erik scott was anything but a citizen, a mere 6 seconds before his death...by Polish firing squad in the middle of a crowded parking lot I might add...
all this other crap is strwman diversion...the tapes are useless, the full 911 call is squashed, and the circus style inquest and open rebellion of cops to refuse an open investigation all point towards the system tryin to circle the wagons...
yer union buddies need to be transparent like bambam, but then that would diminish the power of the bluebrotherhood...
