Whatever it is, I just would like a citation somewhere where I can read it for myself. It would certainly make a difference in my mind because I heard them talking about burning him out. There are other audio recordings where the police clearly say..’burn the mf out’ . If that is just swat talk for tear gas, I have never heard it before....lol.

Were they just cans of sterno warming their pork and beans?
