This comes from a Vegas paper, so I'll summarize:
Day 1 of the inquest into the police shooting of Eric Scott at a Las Vegas Costco emphasized the large amount of prescription painkillers found in his body. The assistant DA suggested Scott was suicidal.
Day 2 apparently spent a bunch of time explaining why there will be no video...basically, the machines weren't working, sorry.
Then the cop who was closest to Scott testified. In his testimony, he says the gun found by investigators was in its holster, and that he didn't realize the gun was in its holster when he shot Scott. That info comes about 2/3 of the way into the article:

OK, you had me for a while with the "let the facts come out" stuff, but no longer.
You can't possibly be this naive.
Again, did you read the early articles with witness statements?
Is that true, SD?
If so, why? Why was he a "cockroach"?
I assume that his parents will have a blood sample submitted by a private lab.
Mine also. They murdered the poor guy in cold blood. Now they are covering it up.
Yeah, Metro needed the extra time to get their ducks in a row after the initial poop hit the fan.
Looks like they cleaned things up nicely - heck, they've even got a contingent of apologists here on FR singing Hosannahs for The Killer Stay-Puft DonutBoy.
Excellent post.
Do you know of your own personal knowledge that he was on pain killing drugs?
I don’t know who Horiuchi is, don’t care, and don’t respond to “requests for condemnation”.
I’m not really interested in carrying on a conversation with you. There’s gotta be a Free Mumia rally going on somewhere ... after all, all he did was rid the world of one more power-hungry “jackboot”. Pound sand.

Yup. And go back and read the first article. Police statements are at odds with current testimony. You wouldn’t think the keystone kops could murder a West Point grad and top salesman of medical equipment and get away with it......but they just might.
Yes, there was a guy on the LV boards that called Erik Scott a "cockroach". The post FINALLY got yanked, but not before Erik's dad signed on to post his disappointment to the jerk.
No.
SnakeDoc
I want to go to the Fry Mumia rally.
Someone who doesn't know who Lon Horiuchi is shouldn't be commenting on jackboot law enforcement. You've lost all credibility.
I'll just be pointing out to your future opponents that you claim that you "don’t know who Horiuchi is".
That'll settle it for them.
Couldn’t care less.
SnakeDoc
They could not find any drugs on him. He had a permit for the gun. They could not plant eiher drugs or a gun on him. So, they did the next best thing, they “discovered” drugs in his system.
Actually that "fact" is irrelevant as the officer testified that he didn't know that the gun was in a holster.
Not naive at all. But not blinded by my own bigotry either.
“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
John Adams
I was waiting for that too since Costco said he behaved “erratically” and the cops repeated it but the eyewitnesses said no he wasn’t.

LOL! He might as well have said "I don't know who Lavrenti Beria is, don't care. Stalin's the man for me!"
