Video is out.
More to the story:
The guy was just standing around back in the pet department part of the store because it was quiet and had little to no shopping traffic, and he was standing there for minutes talking on his cell phone.
The 911 caller repeatedly lied to dispatch and said he was loading it with live ammo and pointing it at people, none of which he ever did.
Afterward, the 911 caller retracted his original story to dispatch and said the Walmart shopper never did those things.
Here is the complete 911 call synced with video:
The guy never pointed the pellet gun at the cops. Also, another woman died during this incident. Many people agree that Ronald Richie, the 911 caller, lied and basically committed murder by proxy. Twice. The 911 caller also lied and said he was a Marine (he wasn't)."Self-government won't work without self-discipline." - Paul Harvey

What article did you get those comments from? I looked at both links and do not see them.
Having watched the vid in the second link with the synced 911 call audio, I don't see anything wrong with what the caller was telling the dispatcher. He never said the dude was loading it with live ammo (whoever said that is a fucking retard). He said it looked like he was trying to load it. She even asked him what he was loading it with and he said he didn't know because he wasn't going to get that close to him. I find no fault in someone being cautious.... but holy shit at the police. They were awfully quick to shoot that guy.

I don't agree with that. He was a damn idiot, but I don't see how you find him threatening. That was poor handling."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

“Ex-Marine” Who SWATted Black Shopper To Death in Walmart Changes His Story
Ronnie Ritchie was lying to dispatchers where he reported that he thought Crawford was loading bullets into the BB gun, as the magazine was fake.
Ronnie Ritchie lied about his military service.
Ronnie Ritchie now admits that he lied when he said Crawford was pointing the BB gun at other shoppers.
Too bad they think that lying to a 911 operator and SWATing someone is non-actionable."Self-government won't work without self-discipline." - Paul Harvey

What if it was a suicidal guy, what happened to cops trying to talk people out of it? That's some pussy shit. ..... Guy should not have had the gun out of the box or whatever it was probably zip tied to. People, unfortunately, really have to change the way they act so they don't get fucking shot by cops. I know I did. You have to keep in mind that a lot of them are idiots that will shoot you quick.sigpic
