Re: West Point graduate killed in police shooting
There are a lot of missing pieces to this little puzzle.
How did he go from trying water bottles to see if they fit in his backpack to the store being evacuated and 911 calls being made?
Supposedly, his gun was concealed, but obviously something prompted the ensuing mayhem.
Did he pull the gun out of the backpack to try the water bottles?
I'll reserve judgment, based on lack of information.

Re: West Point graduate killed in police shooting
Yeah, more details will have to come out. Still, if I were advising the LVPD, they need to demonstrate as much transparency as they can. Right now it looks like they're trying to hide something, and that will have repercussions both in the case itself and more broadly with the public.

Re: West Point graduate killed in police shooting
Looks like LVPD IS trying to hide something. From what I see, looks liked 3 rookies (ok, one has 5 yrs, but the other two appear fresh out of diapers) and they got itchy and cut this guy down. May be wrong, but if they wanted to show what really happened, that investigation wouldnt have been delayed. Makes no sense at all for this guy to come out drawing a gun, that would have been suicide.
Going to be interesting but I am betting on a cover up cause someone got excited and fired when they shouldnt have.

Re: West Point graduate killed in police shooting
Well without being there...or seeing/hearing any evidence (not that the attorney will either)
It sounds like an over reaction by under trained personnel (i.e. most LEO's with under 10 years IMO).... not unlike the BW bus shoot em up... oh i think that might be a possible threat ... lets dump a few mags into it and be sure
I was in Bragg when the two Q course student got lit up by the PD @ sage... the tape "ran out of reel" the second the LEO walked up to the truck... mmmm... how convenient... the SSG who survived i think is still on a gag order over it
Any more I am just as worried ...if not more so... by being shot by PD that a criminal. My whole family are cops, many of my friends are cops, most of my team are cops. If i didnt have the sweetest gig other than being a fighter pilot who directs lesbian porn on weekends I'd probably be a cop too.
I hear the conversations ... I think shit like this is going to get a lot more common.
unmarked cars for traffic... hard to identify patches/uniforms ... and a shoot first ask questions later mentality and policies that support it...means cops being mis ID'ed and drawn on (i did it once) or threat behavior by one party initiates lethal reaction by the other...and then prison or a lost video tape
I think law enforcement has gotten way way to militaristic recently...and events where innocent civilians getting waxed are getting more common and will continue to do so
as for this case I'll wait and see

How does statement A relate to statement B? Not releasing video tapes is SOP in my area--until investigations are over, the public are not going to see ANYTHING from evidence, if for no other reason than not contaminating the jury pool. Y'all need to chill and wait a month before calling "cover-up."
On a side note, people from all walks of life break bad, including cops, boy scouts, firemen, marines, and preachers.

Re: West Point graduate killed in police shooting
O.k...I have to say that neither links provided above provide any accurate info as to what transpired the moments leading up to this incident. How does it go from "trying out water bottles to see of they fit" to "an evacuation of the store" in the same three sentance paragraph? Lots of missing info from those two links here for anyone to be making any type of judgement.
I don't know anything about LVPD or thier current track record..it sounds odd for the delay, but a witch hunt it should not be either.
The bottom line, there are many people that are impacted by this, my thoughts for all of them.

Are cops looking to start their day off by racking up their body counts? Probably not. Cover up? In this day and age, in an agency as big as LVMPD, I highly doubt it.

Highly doubtful. Stuff like that NORMALLY happens only in the movies.

Re: West Point graduate killed in police shooting
I'd venture to guess he is/was an 18B in 19th group which would be correct as they have elements inWA state and his facebook shows Bellevue,WA as his current city.
klr- initials or "killer"
b- 18B
929- ODA from 19th group.
References to Bragg, Q course, sources that would know of gag orders, his "team" are mostly cops, etc.
As I am unable to find a "Frank Plumb" on AKO, I'd venture toward guessing that is either an alias for FB data farming paranoia/PERSEC or he is no longer in.
Some of the puzzle pieces might not fit exactly, but I can certainly see a picture forming based on this information.
Do I get a cookie if I'm right?

Re: West Point graduate killed in police shooting
they released the cops radio trans yesterday. One cop says "he's pointing a gun at me, shots fired". If thats the case its a done deal.

Re: West Point graduate killed in police shooting
a Marine once sang: " Reportin' contact even if we don't get it, just so we can get our combat action ribbon".
Multiple witnesses quoted in various articles disagree with that radio transmission.
Certainly Costco has surveillance video of the incident. If that shows him pointing displaying/pointing/brandishing a firearm it will be a done deal.
Until then, it's some guy wearing a uniform making a claim that is contradicted by many.

I would believe the radio transmission over eye witness accounts. It has been proven that witnesses, although they mean well, generally get things wrong.

Would you believe raw surveillance footage over a radio transmission?
I'll reserve actual judgement until that time. I'm just perplexed as to why a West Point grad with seemingly no issues would go from shopping in Costco to pulling a gun on police? I realize people don't always display overt behavior when they snap, some are completely cool headed from an outside perspective. Just doesn't make sense though over all.

"I'm just perplexed as to why a West Point grad with seemingly no issues would go from shopping in Costco to pulling a gun on police?"
***************************
As are many people. But apparently a lot of folks are not at all perplexed as to why a cop with seemingly no issues would go from enforcing the law to randomly killing innocent citizens.
What perplexes me is why so many people persist in their beliefs that sensationalized media releases contain all of the facts, only the facts, and no biases. And if I read the articles correctly, the Medical Examiner - not the police - postponed the inquest. I see a lot of unanswered questions, but I don't see any sustainable conclusions yet.
