Really? Based on....what? What liability would Costco face? Why would they conspire? Why would a loss prevention guy making, what, less than $15 an hour lie? What possible civil liability would they face? 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.
To: SnakeDoctor
I don't see why they shot him when he was surrounded by other shoppers. The witnesses that were around him didn't either.
Again, did you read the early articles with witness statements?

You the guy that called Erik Scott a "cockroach" over on the LV news boards last month?Is that true, SD?
If so, why? Why was he a "cockroach"?

Hmmm...Wonder if he had been taking these for a while? I know that therapeutic levels of morphine may rise over time if he was taking it for chronic pain but too that level? Don't know about the other drugs.
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.

But not the early ones. The early articles had all kinds of statements from witnesses calling the police liars. 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.

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.

I don't think SD was the guy, but his attitude towards "civilians" seems to be similar, which is why I asked, tongue in cheek.
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.

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 "dont know who Horiuchi is".
That'll settle it for them.

Couldn’t care less.

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.

"The officer testified that he has a holster just like it, and that he knows the gun can be fired while it's in the holster."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.

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.
