Here's some "honor" for you. I guess "honor" means something different to the police

Yeah, that's right, they honor themselves for shooting a decorated veteran, a man who's job was to go around and counsel the ill who were getting pacemakers installed who had a concealed weapons permit because he delivered $80k pacemakers to the hospital and sat in on the operations. A man who had never been arrested in his life and passed all background checks to carry concealed weapons. For what? Because a gung ho punk security guard called the police when he saw the gun in the guys waistband.
Here, you can listen to 4 officers yelling different commands to him as he walked out of Costco with the crowd having no idea why Costco was being evacuated. Witnesses (including the cops) stated that the following commands were given to him and he "didn't comply"
1) put your hands where I can see them
2)Drop the weapon (by the second officer outside)
3) get down on the ground
4) get on the ground (by a second officer outside)
5) get your hands up (by the third officer outside)
6) don't move (by the third officer outside)
This was a man walking out the exit of costco with hundreds of other people who had no idea the police were there for him.
4 seconds from the first command till this man was dead.
I wonder how many of us could put our hands up, unholster our weapon, put our hands up again, and get down on the ground twice in 4 seconds?
The audio is here at 3:30
Real heros that deserve to be "honored". They killed the only real hero in the room. Then destroyed the Costco video and spent the next year trying to dig into Erik's past to find something to justify his murder.
