I knew this guy, not real well. We were in the same unit at Ft. Lewis. So if we can drop the crack head/scumbug references I would appreciate it. Let's get some more facts first.

Then you probably know Stringer. He told me about this case just a couple of nights ago, and said he didn't believe Gavin would be violent towards his girlfriend, or resist the police.

To me, given the character references I've heard, I think we have another Erik Scott/Costco situation, where miscommunication and willingness to use deadly force quickly clashed with bad consequences.

Maybe or maybe not. The opinions of personal friends will not negate that the GF made a call for help, though now she seems to have "buyer's remorse". Nothing has indicated whether she had any physical injuries either.

Hopefully we shall be able to hear that tape and see any dash cam evidence before this is over.

Still waiting for something concrete.

My crackhead analogy was not meant to be about the persons/people in this account. It was just a list about who I would trust first. I apologize if it seemed that I was.

Yes we need more info first.
