“Authorities are also telling people in the area not to answer their door for a police officer unless it's two officers together, or call 911 to confirm the identity of the officer at your door. FOX 9 confirmed two state lawmakers and their spouses were shot overnight.” www.fox9.com/news/brookly...

No, and it's likely the general populace won't ever be sure; if the shooters were cops the police WILL do everything in their power to suppress that information. Not trying to conspiracy theory but 'dressed like cops' is a non-bias reporting ass-cover tactic like 'injured by gunfire'.

was that quote from that article originally? not asking to be pedantic, the details in these articles often change silently in early hours and it strikes me as extremely important to nail down what all was said before any official narrative coalesces

The quote was in the article at the time I posted the skeet—I do not know exactly when it was added. This exact quote was not in the very earliest article posted by BNO at the top of my thread.

Andrew Ferguson @epikt.bsky.social

cannot count the number of times i've seen this in action, it's understandably very common (though still not always explicable) at mass shooting sites where the sheer chaos & echoes etc can give the illusion of multiple shooters but turning one assassin "cop" into two is harder to explain away

Mar Hicks @histoftech.bsky.social

Yes. From what I read, early reports said it was one suspect being sought. Then they said two suspects. Now they seem to be revising that back to one, apparently?

Andrew Ferguson @epikt.bsky.social

even aside from other implications, it's a crucial detail when authorities are now telling people to only answer the door if it's two officers together

Local and state police should be ordered to escort ICE from their communities. Governors should order National Guard to assist. They can return when they have identification and warrants, otherwise known as "documented". This is for the safety of citizens and ICE officers.

Already incidents of people impersonating ICE. Now nationally covered political tragedy. ICE, hated arm of DHS? Or evil person impersonating ICE? Hard to tell with no identification, documentation. This is the match setting the fire.
