I agree.
What I think happened was this was a very long pursuit with five different departments involved. Most likely there was no single person in command to tell them to back off in that situation.
Similar events happened to George Washington and US Grant when they were inexperienced and lost control of their soldiers.
5 different departments. Wow.
I assume they will do training on this going forward.
If, as one person said, cops were hiding behind passenger cars with people in them, then that is VERY wrong.
If it was procedural, then that needs to be addressed but not as wrong.
I wasn’t there so I wouldn’t vindicate or condemn.
Or judge without knowing more.
I know there’s issues with a number of police but it’s still a crazy job and I remember the stories my friends told me.
They saw a lot
