[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually the "elderly parents" are only in their late 50's.  They look old for their ages but they aren't really elderly.[/quote]
So it’s okay that he murdered them?[/quote]

No, it's not o.k. to murder anyone.  But those parents may have been quicker and stronger than that picture of them indicates.  A 50 something coming at you is different than a 80 something coming at you.

Again, the surveillance video is going to be key.[/quote]

So let me get this straight. You believe that this intellectually disabled man, and his two late-50s parents, engaged in an attack on a police officer that merited being shot?  And you believe this is more likely that the armed off-duty police officer over-reacting and yet again shooting an unarmed civilian?  Ok.

I think that the guy who did the attacking was a big guy and that his parents were fiercely protective of him.  I also believe that the cop was completely blindsided by the assault on himself and his baby, wound up on the ground, drew his weapon and fired at the people who were coming at him.  I base that on the cop's lawyer's statement.  If surveillance video proves otherwise then that will be a different story.

I do not believe that this cop shot 3 people over a verbal altercation.  That didn't happen.  He was physically assaulted, knocked out briefly and reacted in self defense.[/quote]

He is a police officer. He should not be carrying a gun if he is going to be liable to shoot into a crowd when he feels threatened. Not sure why this is so hard to understand.  [/quote]
