    I hope Costco has a video of what actually happened so we would get the real story. I don't
    think it looks good for that police officer. I think LAPD will get a huge lawsuit and the guy
    will likely lose his job.

    From the "facts" known to this point, it sounds like he should spend the rest of his life in jail. If you or I shot 3 unarmed people in a Costco, we'd be in jail already.

    And the first thing you do when you wake up from being "knocked out" is to star
    shooting people?

    If he really was knocked down and out, I wonder if he was concussed.

    The story is just so suspicious and it really bothers me how t
    he facts are portrayed differently when the shooter is a cop. The killed-man's >arents were "injured" (not "shot", though they were shot, and are in critical c
    ndition) and "an argument insued which resulted in a shot being fired" instead >f "6 to 8 shots being fired" (according to many witnesses present). It's alread
    spun in defense of the cop.

    That does sound fishy. Some of it could be explained away by an inaccurate first report, but not all of it.

    On an unrelated note, I am reading this message in a QWK mail reader.
    While other people's messages seem to be line wrapping fine, yours are
    breaking mid-word. In the first & second line of the second quote above, the "t" and the "he" are quoted back as received here. Same with "p" "arents", "co" "ndition", etc.

    FSeditor now stores paragraphs of text as a single long line for improved compatibility with more terminals. It sounds like the QWK mail reader you're using doesn't support word-wrapping of message text when displaying to you. Maybe try a different QWK mail reader?
