I’m not saying anything for certain, but I’m suspicious that “Linda” is making things up. Pay attention to her use of “you can hear” several times. She’s narrating something she’s watched or listened to second hand. IMHO

One thing is for certain:

If Linda is right, then the government employees lied to the public about what happened (why not say “we ran him over”? Most people would cheer?).

If she is wrong, then the government employees told the truth.

I agree. I only question every story that gets reported because so much information gets reported as “fact” that later turns out to be “here-say”, i.e. the continued repeating of “suspects robbed a 7-11”.

I haven't seen or read the firsthand reports from the cops that were involved directly, only “the chief” has made statements as far as I've seen.

The stolen vehicle was an SUV and she says an SUV ran over him. Unless it had flashing lights on top, she wouldn’t know if it was a cop car or what. There was too much “hear” in her story. If there were hundreds of gunshots going every which way in front of your house, I really don’t think you’re going to be standing at the front window watching it all - unless you’re a lib.

.........I disagree, Linda was clearly rattled! My vast experience with females tells me that it takes “something” to get one of them THIS rattled!

You could be dead right but I THINK she actually did witness the shootout as a “second hand” rendition would not seemingly be spoken by a female that was having a hard time keeping her grip.

Listen carefully to the audio at the point the host asks her if the suspect was doing any shooting. She’s vacillating between “from what I remember and from what I hear”. She may have seen something, but she’s filling in details from from other sources. I’m not saying she’s doing it intentionally, but it’s been proven that emotional eye witnesses scramble together details like this all the time.

She said a “police SUV”.

And watching a dramatic situation (especially when you have a concern that you *could* be affected by it) is a very human trait.

A liberal would be cowering in the closet, not wanting to know anything.

At 00:56 she states “I have never heard a gunshot before”...

At 1:35 she says she “saw the first suspect get hit by a police SUV and then shot multiple times”...

At 2:05 she says she saw “neighbors being pulled out of their houses by SWAT”...

At 3:15, the radio host reconfirms she said the first suspect got hit by a police SUV...

At about 4:00 she says she “could not believe he was pronounced dead at the hospital, because of the injuries at the scene”...

We’ll have to see if anything more comes of this.

Perhaps some MA Freepers will have more information.

It was a “truther” calling in to feed fodder to the false flaggets...it wasnt even an hour and this shit was all over the CT sites as “proof” the cops were lying and the “boys” were set up...

Another witness who was acually interviewed at the scence backs up the cops story...the younger brother ran him over trying to escape...

I trust someone interviewed at the scene over some caller to a radio show ANY day...

That’s what I was doing by pointing out the statements. None of what she was talking about jived with the other eyewitness statements.

Plus, she’s “never heard a gunshot before”? And she lives near a city?
