The most troublesome part of this story is that these cops have the means and the ‘authority’ to use lethal force, yet they don’t even know who’s yard they’re in.
A simple recon of the neighborhood would have prevented this from happening. A ride down the alley in a garbage truck, google a sat pic and map, homeless dumpster diver, old gomers collecting aluminum cans are good cover for the oldest worst looking cop ya have on the team ......etc . As a former deputy I know that is not always possible but with todays technology available too a LEO at street level ......such shouldn’t happen.
Arm chair QB crap aside from me..... I think they didn’t.
Stay safe !
