Poor guy was probably totally unaware until the bullets hit. Deaf in one ear, concentrating on his carving.....Sad.

Yes. Very. The only positive out of all of this and yet it is also the most devastating is he was doing something he loved. The devastation is that he was shot for just doing that. Blessing to his soul and to his family.

This was flat-out murder-by-cop.

The elapsed time from the cop’s first callout while on foot, to firing his weapon, was 6 seconds.

I would love to be sitting in this cop’s jury.

Yes and the hope a jury deals out some justice.

it wasn't more than 2 minutes between yelling the first time and shooting.

It was only a few seconds. The copy yelled and you can hear some replies during the yelling but I cannot make it out the words. The cop yells and the carver replies back and forth from 0:16 and 0:23. The first shot was at 0:24.

I have no answers, My.
It was unjustifiable, IMHO.
The biker was just a kid for cryin’ out loud.

Excellent! Kentucky is fine. I am in decent digs in California on the ocean . . . from the fire to the frying pan—lol. I suspect when Jesus returns he’ll be coming to California first. Figure I’ll stand at the front of the line and get a quick first judgement. :-). Blessings to you and your wife. Fantastic move. Best wishes to you both in your life together there.

That’s about when I was last down there over wintering and working on the plate reefer system of a ship on lake Union.

It’s, (downtown), is actually a pretty dangerous place if you are just walking about.

Too much city for my tastes.

He was shot in the back 4 times

From your link, it says 4 times in the right side.

The place was swimming with California rejects and glue sniffers even then.

Thank you for the photo.

From the posted news story I could tell that it was not my friend.

This photo confirms it.

There’s a life of pain looking out of those eyes imo.

He’s past pain now.
