Gentle Giant update

The man who was shot and killed by an off-duty Los Angeles police officer at a Costco in Southern California on Friday was known as a "gentle giant" who was mentally disabled and couldn't have started an argument that led to the deadly confrontation, his cousin said Sunday.

The Corona Police Department said 32-year-old Kenneth French from Riverside was shot dead after he allegedly "assaulted the officer while the officer was holding his young child," which led to the cop firing his weapon, striking French and two other family members who were critically wounded.

But his cousin, Rick Shureih, disputes the account released by authorities, telling the Press-Enterprise that French was "non-violent, non-aggressive, nonverbal" and a "gentle giant."

“He’s not the kind to trade words, so I don’t believe that a verbal confrontation happened," he told the paper.


We're going to need to see the game film on this one. At a Costco there has to be plenty of video

I remember the last gentle giant. He got shot with his hands up while running away after robbing a liquor store.

I'll wait for the video.

I’m more like a giant sucker at Costco and can’t say no on all the awesome deals. One time some months after the downfall of BDTW I bumped into @CokeGreaterThanPepsi with like $600 of groceries in the cart. Think how much Bud Light and Parliament Cigs you could buy for $600 Bitch Fork.

8327 eggs to be precise at Costco price of $4.29 per 60 pack. I can’t even eat 50 eggs in a week.

Not so gentle giant?

Clearly the cop didn't walk in and look for someone to shoot. There is almost always some predicate in these situations. The question is whether deadly force was reasonably necessary. The Devil is in the details. Like Race said, we'll need to go to replay on this one. We all knew what you'd think before opening the thread.

I wonder how this cop likes lawyers now.

Of course. Many think police sit around every night picking out people they don't know exist so they can violate their civil rights.

I don't think many people think that. I think many people think there is a percentage in the police force that lack good judgment and who, for whatever reason, abuse their power. It's like anything, only the cops can readily interfere in your life in a big way.

You're leaving out attorneys the government and doctors.

No I'm not.

Or are you arguing that an attorney or doctor or anyone else that has helped place that rather large chip on your shoulder typically have the same ability as a cop to readily interfere in the course of your day?

I know of no attorneys who have the power of search and seizure or arrest. No docs either.

Do you?

Yes, the government. And who, exactly, do you think does that for the government? By what means does the government exercise that power?

Have you figured it out yet? YOU were the government, my dull-witted friend. That's why the tax payers fund your pension.

Attorneys file lawsuits. I thought you knew that. Doctors make mistakes that kill more people every year than guns many times over. The government has its own law enforcement and they are not your local police. Again I thought you'd know that. Judges give police all their power by signing search warrants, arrest warrants and arraignment hearings. They're actually attorneys. But I thought you'd know that. I'll stop thinking when it comes to you.

I'm not familiar with the "Shoot a civilian" warrant or what causes a judge to sign one.
