You keep posting the boot guy but won't answer any questions about your scenario. If he was undercover, probably stirring things up, why does he have on his armored vest and why is he carrying a rifle?

It sounds like the action was over in about two minutes. Is it your theory that after the LEOs had the scene under control the undercover decided to put on his vest and grab a rifle?

If he wasn’t undercover, what in the hell was he doing dressed like that, sans the vest and the rifle?

Do you doubt that u/c were on the job on 5/17? I would consider it gross incompetence if there were not.

What troubles me is that that Stroman’s men were sitting in their vehicles when the violent altercation began. The violent altercation was preceded by escalating tensions and ominous movement on the patio. (The reading of the property seizure affidavit clearly indicates that it was created from a review of videos. I am not convinced that the uniformed cops knew what was happening until the first shot was fired.)

If the uniforms DID know of the dynamic situation evolving, why did they not bring some units into the parking lot before shots were fired?
