In subsequent interviews with investigators, the raid team members were also unable to provide a consensus of what happened as they broke the door down. Some said at least one officer yelled "police" as they entered the house, while others said they couldn't remember what -- if anything -- was spoken in the tense moments before the raid.

Did you catch that part of the story. I'm shocked that ALL of the cops didn't try to CYA and lie. It seems as if only one or two of them were dishonest. Pretty low ratio for JBTs, I say give them a medal for honesty.

Neighbors and other witnesses at the scene also indicated that there was no announcement of "police" before the entry, prosecutors said.

This may be part of the reason.

Given the shooting skills exhibited I suspect that what is operative here is top to bottom incompetence. They didn't think to get their stories correct and synchronized when things went "wrong."

If they start tellin' the truth 5 minutes after the incident, maybe. These had 6 weeks to see how many witnesses turned up with maybe video or audio tape. No heroes or patriots here.
