Lets see, was it this one:

oh no no, thats the story of the murdering cop providing firearms to known felons. Somehow that seems much more dangerous than a hoilstered weapon. Should he have been shot on sight? Do you think swat just forgot to show up at that arrest?


OK, maybe it was this: Will Nelson said he heard an officer yelling at someone to get down. (Note -I guess Will is lucky he didn't get shot sine it would seem by this account he also failed to follow orders) When he looked over, all he saw was Scott�s hand, which was holding something brown and was extended in front of him, he said.

He said he heard a gunshot and the object, which he recognized as a holster, dropped out of Scott�s hand.

Scott didn�t look like he was handing the holster to the officer � it was more like he was displaying it to them � but he wasn�t holding it as if he was going to shoot it, Nelson said.

Scott didn�t seem to be a threat, but he also didn�t comply with the officer�s orders, Nelson said.

He said he believes it would have been a better situation had the officers confronted Scott in the parking lot rather than near the store entrance, where there were more people around.

Wait, I'll find it, hang on... this one?

Costco customer John Cooper said he didn�t see police when he first left the store but later saw an officer with a firearm in his hands.

Then he noticed Scott facing the officer.

�He was not in a defensive manner,� Cooper said. �He was just standing there, almost in a relaxed position initially.�

He said that he felt guilty he didn�t attempt to render aid to Scott after he had been shot. An Army colonel with 27 years of experience, he said he felt someone should have checked on the man before paramedics arrived.



This one! got it:
When asked during a question from an interested party, Villareale said it didn't look like Scott was going to hand the gun to the police, but he also didn't point the gun at the officer.
