LV PD sure screwed up today..
That's why I won't OC or let my CCW print...
From the comments I can see from the "supposed" eyewitness it's a toss up between murder and oops I thought he had a gun.
This is why I wear armor often. Let's just say they better shoot me in the head because that's were my return shots will be hitting anyone who draws or fires on me. A 7.62x25 will cut through a IIIA vest like butter too if needed to prevent yourself from being murdered.
Think about this guy's girlfriend seeing him go down. Horrible
I'd be cruising by those officers house later for sure to get some Albanian justice if I were her, but I'm not.

Hey whatever happened to the SPD lady and guy who stomped that MexiMerican guy that was in the US Army?
Oh yeah.... NOTHING I can see and everyone's over it.
Cops do the best they can,
and while they deserve scrutiny
they also deserve the benefit of the doubt.
WTF? Are you a Blood or Crip Wannabe? Talk like that is pure BS/trash. Proponent of vigilante justice w/o any facts. Yeah, sounds like a gang-banger to me. I'm disgusted by your inappropriate, unsubstantiated comments.

.....My wife and I were 7 or 8 feet away from the shooting as were the police. We were to the suspects immediate right. We heard and saw the 3 police officers shouting to the man in question to 'get on your knees' several times. At that point the man appeared somewhat stunned by the commotion and shouting of the police. His Right arm went up in a defenseless position and it appeared his left arm appeared to be going up but there was NO gun in his hand. He was taserd and shot at the same time. At no time did the man in question ever raise his voice, shout an obscenity or become confrontational with the police. We saw the disabled man stooping to his right facing us with what appeared to be a bullet wound in his upper chest with blood coming from the wound and immediately his eyes became glossy as he began to convulse. At this point he was no threat to anyone, both hands were in full view of us and there was no gun. As he was down, the police continued to shout 'put the gun down' several times...but there was no gun in his hand as we had full vantage point view. The injured man was having agonal respirations, he was down when the second volly of bullets rang out. There was no doubt in question that following the second barrage of bullets the man was dead. His girlfriend was to the back side of us and began to scream.....why did you kill him, he is a military man with a license to carry a concealed weapon. You didn't need to kill him....you didn't need to kill him.
An officer then came up to the injured man who in my opinion was a 'dead' man', was cuffed with his hands behind his back and no attempt by the officer to determine if the man was alive or dead. No apparent life saving aid was given to the 'downed' man. The man was totally lifeless when the Paramedics arrived on scene. I was absolutely surprised to see that no attempt at aggressive ACLS was engaged. They simply just picked up the body like a 'sack of potatoes' and hurled him onto the gurney and into the ambulance This was a crime scene.... the crime scene was violated. One of the paramedics who attended to an injured elderly lady said the man was dead. There was a dead man in front of Costco. What nobody is talking about is that there were many many spectators, many like ourselves within just a few feet of the victim when the shots rang out. It seems to me that the greater danger was posed not by the victim but by the police who fired many shots in the vicinity of the innocent public. I agree with you, I hope the media and your friends family can get their hands of Costco's Camera's which will indeed tell the rest of the story. Also it must be confirmed whether the second gun supposedly found by the victims side was indeed also registered to him as a licensed conceal and carry.
This whole incident was a monumental tragedy; a tragedy for the family and friend and also a tragedy for the involved officers who were pushed into a needless confrontation that reached hysterical proportions due to the overreaction of certain employees and bystanders. This was a needless death.
In summary it is our opinion that the victim did not pose an immediate threat to the public.....and in the final analysis was a case of excessive force
Some do, some don't - just like members of any other profession.
They deserve extra scrutiny because of the power they wield.
Because they wear uniforms and badges and belong to unions that help them cover up their misdeeds?

You are not supposed to cross the solid white line when merging. Lots do, but it is illegal.Apparently they frown on merging onto the freeway too early before the solid white line ends. Who knew? Made me late to 2 FTFs. Expensive lesson.)
One person's account. Eye witness testimony has proven to be some of the worst. Take that for what you will since I agree with 95% of the stuff you post up here.
Suggesting harassing officers and their families definitely crosses the line and that poster deserves further scrutiny.
