“Policemen get very edge when you don’t do exactly what they tell you when they tell you.”

I believe they were pretty amped from the very beginning. IIRC the 911 call escalated things quite a bit. The police radio had dispatch setting up a “command center” across the street. The store was being evacuated.

Those cops went in there expecting a crazed gunman. Instead they find some poor sod coming out of the store along with everyone else. And he has to be pointed out to them by an employee.

But - instead of seeing just some guy, they see a crazed gunman. Heck - even see him pointing his gun at them. Except witnesses said the gun was in a zippered/padded case.

I believe there were simultaneous conflicting commands as well. (I don’t recall exactly, but along the lines of “Drop the gun” “Get on the ground” “Get your hands up”). Pretty tough situation for Mr. Scott.

Too bad all of the security tapes of the entire situation (inside the store before, outside, etc.) were accidently damaged - how inconveinent.

You should always do just what the police say, or they just might haul off and shoot you.
