“Officer Matthew Harrity, told investigators he was driving in the alley with all of the vehicle’s lights off when he was startled by a loud noise, which authorities did not describe.”
Seems as if the cop panicked.
It reminds me of the time in LA when there was a crazy cop killer on the loose and a bunch of police got so scared they thought women delivering the paper in a truck were the guy and they opened up fire on the truck.
It was pure fear and panic.
But, we won’t know until there is an investigation.
Sometimes it's a need for revenge. That truck with the women were driving away down the street when the cops opened fire, riddling the back and rear windows with holes. Oops, not the bad guy but two innocent women in the truck.
Long ago, a brother-in-law told me about when he and a bunch of other cops were looking for a suspect, spotted the car, stopped it, dragged out the driver and started a beatdown. Then the radio announced the perp was caught elsewhere. Oops. Nowadays cops don't get away with this stuff.

I think you’re right in both cases. The cops in LA were really scared, which I think was a management failure. Now to find out why Noor was so scared. He should have known an ambush would be very unlikely in that location.
