8. I think so too

But he was also a criminal justice student.

The line where he says something like, "...He has something in his waistband, I don't know..", on the police call sounded straight out of the "play book" where the police justify shooting someone on the street. It must help establish fear for one's life and thus certain amounts of force. That he says it on the tape makes me think he was always covering himself when he talked to the cops, just in case.

I'd like to hear some of his other calls to the police to see if he threw that sort of line in on a regular basis.
