My sound isn't that good so I can't hear it that well.
Thanks for the information. I listened to it and the sound is poor - that can be cleaned up to get a good transcript.
This presents a two-part problem. It does sound as if the Costco employee does assert in several places the Scott is “behaving erratically” and “throwing stuff around”, etc. That would partly explain why the cops with the tactical approach they did.
Unfortunately, the video which would have confirmed his assertions is missing, so it’s not certain if Mr. Lierly’s descriptions were accurate and objective, or if he perhaps overstated things. It is both unfortunate and convenient that the evidence which could help settle these questions is unavailable.
It is also interesting to note the absence in the inquest of the many witnesses from the initial, fresh reports on this incident, whose accounts didn’t agree with those of the cops or the witnesses who are being featured.
