If he truly was knocked out, he wasn’t of sound mind.[/quote]

Perhaps. and I would imagine that if the video shows he was truly out cold, the defense would go that direction.   But to me, it's just another reason why people shouldn't carry around guns as commonly as they do their wallets.   So many things that could go wrong in an instant.  Three people gunned down in a Costco!  And the article below shows that more could have easily been killed as the officer opened fire.

David Winslow, a lawyer for the officer, told The Los Angeles Times that his client had been shopping with his wife and 18-month-old son when he was knocked to the ground by a large man, later identified as Mr. French, while they were standing in line waiting to taste food samples.

Mr. Winslow, who could not immediately be reached for comment on Tuesday, told The Los Angeles Times that the officer was briefly knocked unconscious.

Dianne Bawit, a 21-year-old student at California State University San Marcos, said she had been shopping for bottled water when she saw a man, who she later learned was the police officer, falling to the ground. She said he had appeared to be in distress.

“He fell pretty hard because I heard a pretty big thump on the ground,” Ms. Bawit said. “He looked like he had a heart attack.”

Ms. Bawit said she initially went to help the officer, but retreated as the altercation escalated.

“He stood up by himself. He pulled out his handgun and starts [b]triggering five to seven shots,[/b]” Ms. Bawit said, adding that she was within 10 feet of the men and then took cover. “I was hiding in between the meat aisle, behind the freezer section. I thought I was going to be dead, too.”[/quote]

Wow - he fired several times?!

People should be able to go to Costco without getting shot by off-duty cops. WTF?!

Don’t attack a cop, and you won’t have a problem.[/quote]

Weird how three people got shot, then.  Seemed like 2 of them shouldn't have had a problem in your imaginary world.[/quote]
+1  But the heartless PP would probably say that it's the fault of the two elderly parents for having a disabled kid in the first place.[/quote]

There were no "elderly parents."   52 is not "elderly."

Also, this isn't the guy's first criminal act.   Someone on facebook commented on how the guy stole her car shortly before Christmas, with her kid's Christmas gifts inside.  The car was recovered, but not the gifts.   The parents promised to reimburse her if she didn't pursue charges.   The parents were enablers.   They are just as culpable.  [/quote]
Well, if someone on Facebook said it, it must be true.[/quote]

+1 Seriously.  Whomever is posting these posts maligning the dead disabled victim and justifying the shooting of his parent by saying that they're not "truly" elderly needs some counseling to grow a heart and a brain.[/quote]

My heart and brain are with the hero law enforcement officer and not the 32 year old who attacks babies, nor his enabling parents. [/quote]
