Please re-read the article, with a close eye to reading comprehension.

Erik Scott was given _repeatedly conflicting_ commands – INCLUDING THE COMMAND TO DISARM, and complied with the one he obviously thought was most imperative, i.e. disarmament. Witnesses have stated he in fact _called out_ “I am disarming. I am disarming!”

He was then shot to death by not one, not two, but _THREE_ LVPD cops. He was shot _in the back_ _after_ he was on the ground, having been shot twice in the chest.

These police officers most certainly made horrible tactical choices that unnecessarily ended a man’s life. If you _REALLY_ are a veteran, and a user and proponent of CCWs, then there is something wrong with you if you are not deeply outraged by this.
