This is so incredibly ...

.
... fucked up:

Scott, a West Point grad and Duke graduate student, was shot and killed outside of a Las Vegas Costco after he got into an argument with a Costco employee. The employee apparently saw that Scott was (legally) carrying a weapon, panicked, and called the police. In their testimony at the coroner’s inquest, police said that as Scott was leaving the Costco, they simultaneously told him to drop his weapon and put his hands in the air. When he didn’t comply with both, which of course was impossible, they killed him.

The fucked up part? The family is dropping it's lawsuit against the city, the Sheriff and the two officers who killed him.

Because the 9th Circuit recently ruled that even though excessive force is used, the cops still get qualified immunity.

So sad.
