I heartily disagree that virtually all officer involved shootings are justified. I'm not saying that most, or a very high percentage aren't. But based on what I've seen, the number is much, much lower than 99.999%.

I really didn't think anyone would take those numbers as literal statistics. I guess I should say "virtually all" but that leaves you thinking that maybe I mean 80% is "virtually all".
I'd bet that it's 99%, anyway. That still leaves 1 in every 100 that would mean that the cops are criminal. That seems impossibly high to me.
Regardless, the fact remains that the deceased is responsible for his own death in this instance.
The officers may or may not have made errors in judgement or millisecond decisions that proved to be wrong. No matter what, they would never have had to make those decisions were it not for the actions of the deceased.
Costco is not responsible. The officers are not responsible. The deceased IS responsible.
