"...Come on folks, don't buy this nonsense.
He is not a 'mentally-ill lone wolf,' there were other shooters firing on the police from above..."
I watched a lot of this live. We had the media cameras focusing on an open 4th floor window, and the police were saying some of the shots were coming from there. You could see one or more people moving around in there. Meanwhile, the shooter who was later killed was on the ground floor where he executed one officer and then fled. How could he be in two places at once???
And of course, all the police reports were saying there were multiple shooters “triangulating” on them. I assume what they meant was that one shooter would open fire, and then when the officer retreated he would be in the open field of fire of the other shooter. At one point, the police were saying there were at least 3 shooters.
Additionally, the police were saying they had one shooter in custody after a shootout with SWAT—a couple of hours before the police killed Johnson with the robo-bomb. This wasn’t just “reported hearsay,” it was in the information announcements the police were releasing. Seems hard to believe they could get something so fundamental wrong.
Also, listen to the gun shots. They are overlapping. Maybe the police were somehow firing back, but at that point it appeared they were just trying to shield themselves behind vehicles. At least in the photos/videos, you don’t see anyone shooting back.
How do the police/media reconcile this with the nonsense that is being spewn now?
“this is not terrorism” is this prezzy-dent’s answer to everything that happens on his watch.
