[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people are nuts if you think a man who was [i]holding his child[/i] is going to pick a fight with some gigantic stranger.

You're also crazy if you think the guy has any obligation to go "hand to hand" against a monstrous, blank-faced attacker.[/quote]

The only witness accounts so far say there was an argument, not a physical attack.  No need for a gun for a verbal dispute.[/quote]

It is also reported that he was non-verbal, so how there would be an argument is beyond me. [/quote]

It could be a case where the son bumped into him, the cop thought the son pushed him intentionally and started yelling, parents intervene to defend their son/defuse the situation, cop keeps yelling, son gets agitated by the yelling, and cop with an itchy trigger finger shoots everyone because he feels “threatened.”[/quote]

I suspect this is what happened. Possibly the victim bumped into the child who started crying. [/quote]

Oh, I doubt it was anything so simple.  Maybe the cop and this guy bumped into each other by mistake and that triggered the guy who then proceeded to physically assault the cop.  The parents stepped in as the situation quickly deteriorated and the cop shot all 3 of them.

I do not think this was a mere verbal altercation.  There was some sort of physical threat to the officer.[/quote]

Why do you assume the victim would respond by physically assaulting the cop? How many SN adults are you around on a regular basis?  Most would back away from a confrontation. [/quote]
