True. But also as I watched live last night I noticed it was quite foggy.
There was a video up of part of last night’s firefight. It did not look too foggy but when you got someone firing at you, the last thing you are going to do is pop your head up. About half way through the video there was someone asking: do you have a rifle....handgun? I don’t know whether that was between the officers or from the officers to a spectator (here the support fire would have left no doubt). The suspect was losely contained on one side. I would not fault the police here, there were not 9000 on the scene of the fighting, probably 5-8 one man units.
