you don’t know what the employee said. all we know is the cops gunned the guy down.
the [Costco security] guard had told police that Erik Scott was armed with a gun, was acting aggressively and erratically, and that he may have been under the influence of drugs
That's pretty much all it would take to get hopped up jack booted thugs ready to shoot someone to show up. My bet is that the security guard said Erik was waving his gun around, destroying property, throwing things, etc. Whatever the Costco employee said, I'll place bets that it doesn't match the internal video tape (that's unusable).
Police shot him, yes, but Costco is equally culpable in my book.
But COSTCO and the LVPD know what she said. Which is exactly why we will never hear it.
Had something she said been beneficial to the police shooting, you can bet it would have been broadcast that day.
