John much respect for you and Edgar for your service.  I can understand your feeling towards police and what seems like a lack of internal policing by certain agencies.  My question would be, and purely hypothetical;  What if someone suffering from PTSD or any form of depression places a call for 911 to get a response from EPD and then meets the officers in the parking lot fully intending to raise his weapon to end suffering.  I want to be clear in saying that I don't know Edgar and am not speculating one way or the other because at this point there are so many possible scenarios of what happened.  I just find it hard to believe that while he is waiting outside for police to arrive that he would have a reason to have his weapon visible.  I also have question concerning the fact that he called 911 and then left the apartment to meet them out front while he was armed and someone was inside beating on his woman.  Not everything adds up to me.
