Gunned Down in Vegas: What Really Happened to Erik Scott?
It doesn’t matter if he was a ‘disreputable’ citizen or not – the police weren’t responding to a guy who shot a dog owner or held up a pharmacy – they were responding to a guy who “has a gun”, and evidently, a license to carry it.
Even if he didn’t have a “license” to carry it, I still don’t see what rationale there is for four or five cops to surround someone and shoot them in a store parking lot. Lots of stray bullets, and lots of reasons such an action is NOT sound public policy.
Which is the more dangerous to the safety of our streets or the stability of our society? A (maybe) stoner who is acting (maybe) strange in a store, but not threatening or harming anyone, or a ‘SWAT’ response of on-edge, trigger-happy cops, ready to ‘take down’ anyone at a moment’s notice?
