And your evidence would be..............?
Or are you just saying that since there's no PROOF that he did, that he didn't? If you want to disprove a "Myth", it would be helpful to give some evidence that you know whereof you speak.
What I know of the incident is what I've read............if you have some reason to believe we've all been misled, please feel free to enlighten the rest of us with what you know, and
how you know it.
My understanding is that when he was shot, the officer was attempting to reload his weapon. The training at the time, as pointed out by Mr. Ayoob, was that officers were trained to stuff their empties into their pockets. If you have some "evidence" that he was doing something other than following his training, I'd love to know about it...........and the source.
For someone so positively asserting that it's a myth, you have yet to back that up with anything resembling testimony.
