Thanks. The Times conveniently did not give those facts. Someone should write a letter to the editor. Where did you read or hear that?
I carefully observed both videos and timed key events.
Initially, I had no opinion, and had read very little on the case.
After watching both videos, I observed many details in the press were just wrong, while others were selective interpretations to further an agenda.
Personally, I think there is an over-militarization of police forces nation-wide. I continue to be concerned about no-knock raids. So, mine was not an apologetics quest, rather, it was to develop my own opinion, based on observable facts.
