you should be okay RA, TRH has your back on this one, that'll win them over to your side in a heartbeat.....give or take, lol


yep I'm beginning to see your point now.


facts it is

a guy is severely under the influence of medication, this we know to be a fact

he goes into a private biz that evidently doesn't allow the exercise of his 2nd amendment rights on their PRIVATE property

he flashes his piece while trying to perform some form of primate intercourse (that's monkey humping for you folks in flyover country) with some water bottles in a bag


he's confronted about it and asked to leave


does he leave? with the embarrasment that most of us would have that while carrying concealed, he breached concealment?


oh NO he has to argue with the guy while he's packing heat and his eyes look like two pizzholes in the snow


the cops are called by the now concerned Costco employees because there's an agitated armed man in their store that appears to be under the influence


he's met at the door by the cops and instructed to hit the floor


now he decides instead of doing that, I'll show the cops my gun, holster, cell phone or whatever (it doesn't seem to be a fact as to what was actually in his hand, but it is a fact he decided to show the cop something that had a gun drawn on him instead of hitting the floor as instructed)


he gets shot and killed for his actions, that's a fact


perhaps the cop woulda been smarter to take his chances and see if the guy wanted to shoot him or just show him a really cool new app he'd downloaded onto his Iphone?


you're trying to assert that the cops that frequent this board are trying to cover up for their fellow officer

you're gettin your azz handed to you because the facts don't support your assumptions and assertions.


so you tell at least 2 or 3 of the guys calling you on it that collectively they have 1/2 a brain?


dude, even if we take that assumption to be true, those guys with 1/2 a brain between them are making you look stupid (though admittedly you've hauled most of the water in that endeavor)


Only thing worse than a dirty or rogue cop, is a citizen that's so jaded he sees every cop that way.

they're human beings, from all stripes of life and they deal with a chitty job often. Much of their day is spent dealing with folks in the lower 20% morally.


put yourself in that cop's shoes for just one moment, you don't know this guy is a vet, that he's supposedly a good guy, all you know is you've been sent out on a call of an armed man that's agitated at the Costco store.

when you identify him, you tell him to hit the ground, instead he reaches for something in his pocket or waistband to show you


shoot or no shoot?


it's embarrassing for you what you've tried to make of this imo.


P.S. Hi back atcha Bobby, my apologies that guys like you and Mac and Lt. Powell have to deal with guys like this Dick A.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
