Yep. we heard they were PA ing, then launching gas grenades. Flash-bangs is, I think, coming from some reporter’s imagination. Nothing to indicate to me whether they have contact or not, though you wouldn’t PA if you still had contact.
I replayed the Fox report. It said, police were using loudspeakers and explosives. Perhaps flash bangs qualify as explosives? I really have no idea.
Thanks for the info and clarification. Media doing what media does best...little bits of fact and a ton of their own created images.
