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]

Who could tell he was a cop? He was off-duty and not in a uniform.  :roll: [/quote]

Oh ok then . So it was  fine to just assault whoever. Great.[/quote]

Where did someone say that?  You have reading comprehension problems.    Your point was that if you don't attack a cop, you wouldn't have a problem.  Someone (very logically) pointed out that the cop wasn't even in uniform, and didn't have cop tattoed on his forehead.  Anyway, since the dead victim was disabled and non-verbal, he may not have picked up on the distinction even if the cop was in uniform.[/quote]

If you argue that the cop wasn’t in uniform nor did he have police tattooed on his head, surely you also agree that the victim didn’t have a sign that said “mentally disabled” around his neck, or tattooed on his forehead, correct?  So neither knew who they were dealing with, no?[/quote]
