    There is another reason . They are " 13ers " The 13th generation of Americans . The first latchkey generation brought up on video games .

    William Scott - this interview ... Police Brutality & Abuses of Power - Shows - Coast to Coast AM

    talked about the " 13ers " . He emailed me back on the book he got the info on .

    So are you saying his son a 13er or the cops?

    Hell his lawyer made the case.

    The truth, Goodman said, was “Erik Scott was walking to the parking lot with his gun in his holster and he was ambushed by these three officers who gave him about three seconds from the initial commands to respond.
    “And as he was turning around, you heard witnesses testify that he was frozen in time, looked like a deer caught in the headlights, and he responded within a few seconds with the best that he could do by handing over the holstered gun, at which point they shot him two times in the front and five times in the back.”

    Lessons to be learned here:


    Dont go shopping whacked out on Xanax and morphine..
    "Scott had a number of drugs in his system when he died. The levels of morphine and xanax found by a toxicology screen conducted after his death were very high and potentially lethal"

    If you do go shopping while high, don't destroy Costco property...they frown on that
    "Police responded to the store after a security employee called 911 to report a man was acting erratically, destroying merchandise. The caller told dispatchers the man had a gun and was possibly high on drugs."

    If asked to leave, leave. Don't argue and make up a bunch of lies about yourself...even if that worked on your gf.

    "Costco employee Shai Lierley previously testified that Scott said he was a Green Beret when he was told his gun was not allowed in the store.Jensen said when he interviewed Scott’s girlfriend, he asked if Scott was a Green Beret. She told him he had done some stuff “they don’t talk about.”
    Jensen said he checked out Scott’s DD-214 separation papers from the military.
    “We found he had no special forces training and wasn’t a Green Beret,” Jensen said. Jensen said they also found Scott was honorably discharged in 1996."

    And finally when the cops do show up to deal with the situation you created, don't point your gun at them...even if the holster comes with it when you pull it out... There are no do overs.

    " Kullberg, a part-time customer service employee, made her way from the back of the store where she was stationed she testified on Wednesday.A man, later determined to be Erik Scott, was staring at a Metro Police officer. Scott was standing with his arms to his sides and appeared to be dazed, she said.
    He then reached around behind him and, with his right hand, removed a gun from his waistband and brought it forward, pointing it at the officer."

    How Millennial Are You? | Pew Research Center

    According to Pew Research, I'm more Millennial than most Millennials. 96/100. I should probably just quit the police department before they realize I'm a closet Millennial stuck in a Gen X's body. Is there a surgery for that?

    Anyone remember when Gen X was the one that was going to destroy everything? The media told us what selfish slackers we were. Gen X is usually defined as being born in the mid 1960s to early 1980s...or pretty much the majority of every police department right now. The later part even has the dreaded 'latch key kids' who grew up with a working mommy and no one to teach us right from wrong. Its amazing we bother to curb stomp ANYONE with that material.

    I'm 51, but I'm 88/100 millenial. That must explain why I can't do stuff.

    Police officers found justified in Erik Scott shooting; family plans lawsuit - Las Vegas Sun News

    Ill pm you the PDF file When I can that has all the facts of the case and none of dads conjecture...ie he didn't pull a gun he was merely handing a gun to the police. The police were actually there for someone who looked just like Erik. All the doctors are liars and the coroner made it look like he was into heavy narcotics. Police and Costco destroyed the video etc etc

    Ok thanks ... the point I was going for was the environment of the era as pointed out by the authors of the book ....

    As a side note

    Perhaps the cops were justified in the shooting ... listening to the father and his research on the people involved in the shooting and those that
    did the inquisition I believe give cause to question and yes he has a bias . But that does not mean he did not find some facts that could show
    the shooting was not justified .

    Remember Lon Horiuchi was justified in butting a bullet in Vickie Weaver's head too .

    His "fiction" book on what happened? Even dads own lawyer (now) admits that he pulled the gun, the method is what's in question. The witnesses said he pulled and pointed it at the police, the police said the same. His own doctors said he had substance abuse issues and wanted him to get treatment. The coroner said he had enough narcotics in his system to kill a horse. Dad said he was confused not a drug addict, that the police were actually called on another guy that looked like his son, and when he pulled the gun he did it to hand it gingerly to the police.

    If it happened the way the police, his personal doctors, the coroner, medical science, the guy who called 911, and witnesses said then dad gets no money. These people have nothing to gain or lose regardless of what the jury came back with (unanimous btw)

    if it happened the way dad said.... Son went to West Point so he'd never do anything stupid, son is not an addict nor was he high that day, son wasn't throwing stuff around in the store, son had a body double that was in the store, son didn't pull a gun/ok maybe he did but he didn't point it he just wanted to give it to the cops.

    If A. Then son was an idiot . If B then son is a victim and dad gets paid. Dad just dropped his costco lawsuit. He did find a new lucrative venture to capitalize on his sons death. Like boo radley his bread and butter is now exposing cop abuse.
