We will never really know exactly what happened to Erik Scott because that security camera (at COSTCO main entrance), and only that one camera, failed that day, according to COSTCO and LVPD (yeah, right!). As many of us know, eyewitness evidence is the least reliable of all, as the many conflicting accounts confirm. The transcript of the 911 call is now available (possibly altered) and it does not support the observed police over-reaction, which included multiple ground units, a mobile command post, and a helicopter. The initial shooter (the cop) shot and killed another citizen earlier and he is no longer in the LVPD. But why did the other cops open fire when there was no threat to them? This whole story smacks of gross misinformation in the police communications channels plus one trigger-happy ex-cop. Crap happens.
But I'll reiterate my initial point: there is little to be gained by acting confrontational with police officers in the field (even if they are acting like fools).
