[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Frenches’ attorney has seen the video, and apparently the real story is a little different than the defense attorney said:

According to this account, the son did push the officer (although no indication he fell or lost consciousness).  Cop identified himself as an officer, dad stepped stepped in between them to try to explain that his son has a disability and die-escalate the situation, and then the cop started shooting.[/quote]

So, now we have two different accounts from each side...still need to wait and see.[/quote]

A witness has corroborated that the cop hit the ground hard. [/quote]

You can hit the ground hard and not loss consciousness.

I find the Frenchs’ version credible so far.

The samples at Costco bring out the worst in people, so much pushing or cutting in line. I can see multiple possibilities.

A) the Frenchs are waiting in line patiently. It is unclear who is next to receive a sample and the son jostles the cop in his excitement to get a sample.
B) the Frenchs are waiting, but the son is impatient due to his disability and pushes the cop out of the way, not realizing his strength or that the person he pushed might be off balance due to holding a child. 
C) the Frenchs don’t even want food samples, they are just blocked in the waiting crowd. The son is distressed by being blocked in and tries to exit, knocking the cop down.
D) the cop’s child is hungry and the cop impatiently steps in front of the son who sees this as rude and pushes the cop.

I wish Costco would stop the samples. People always shove or cut in line. The crowds block the movement of others who don’t even want samples. In contrast, I’ve eaten samples at WF and many European groceries stores without this shoving. It’s not a class thing. I’m barely middle class and a Costco membership isn’t cheap. I think it’s the way being in a huge crowded space makes the reptile part of our brains feel.

What happened to the eyewitnesses who said a woman rather than the cop was holding the map when the push happened?[/quote]

Ah yes. 
It’s not guns.
It’s not mental illness.
It’s costco samples.

That’s the problem.[/quote]
