(29,798 posts)If you are predisposed to mistrusting the police (I am) this whole thing stinks.
The police version is that 5 heavily armed policed "entered an apartment they thought was empty to serve a warrant and found the suspect, Carnell Gaines Jr., 30, hiding in a shower stall. Gaines opened fire, killing Walter. Fellow investigators Dave McCarley and Shaun Terwilliger, also were wounded with McCarley suffering gunshot wounds to the hand and leg."
We also know that there were more domestic soldiers outside positioned behind the truck.
Why all of that for an empty apartment?
Who in the hell serves a warrant at an empty apartment?
The kids apparently had a view into the apartment where the event happened "the balcony from which Terrell and Shanell Madison told television reporters they were filming faces the apartment where the bullet holes are evident."
It is very easy to construct a hypothetical where the police are the bad guys here; very, very bad guys. I hope that isn't the case.
