A fellow officer I worked with was shot twice while chasing some turds who just robbed a bank. He was very lucky to survive. There was a rash of banks being robbed in the area. The FBI was in the area doing surveillance due a tip. Of course the FBI did not alert the local agencies about the tip. If they did I think the outcome would have been different. He suffered PTSD after the shooting and let the demons win.
I am on a police message forum that is not for the faint of heart. Mostly older retired guys so they don’t care what they post. Feds join now and they but don’t last long because they get butt hurt when Ruby Ridge and Waco are talked about. They ain’t Boy Scouts they are freaking Cub Scouts.
So the FBI was doing surveillance but didn’t tell the police? Did they help chase after the robbers, too, or just observe? I sometimes watch “Live PD” and have seen some scary apprehensions. I feel badly for the officer you mentioned. It sounds like he almost died and recovered physically but not psychologically.
