I don’t think he went to Costco looking to be killed by the cops, but his actions at the moment of the shooting weren’t rational. All he had to do was follow one command, and he would have lived. He may have made a decision to die at the last moment. Considering the levels of drugs in his system, he didn’t have much respect for his own life.
wow, you really have no clue how opiates work in the human body, especially in long term pain management do ya...???
i seriously think that this notion is very far fetched, but *if* he made a snap decision at the spur of the moment, due to intoxication, who prompted that confrontation ???
personally, stone cold sober, if i were suddenly faced down by three cops with guns sighted on me, initially not knowing that i was the target, i mightve made an adrenaline mistake as well, like 'reaching' too quickly, because they were agitated and *ordering* me to do so...
lets face it, the costco guy and the cops all ramped up a non issue to the point of death for a citizen...painting him as *the* bad guy is ridiculous...and dangerous...
Which one?
Do you know what drugs he had in his system, and why?
Because most of the readers of this thread have already seen it.
