9. Presumably they will get A LOT of info about the shooter from the car.

I noticed, darkly, that when I looked at the headlines on Google News about an hour ago, all the Reich-Wing sources' headlines were sure to include something that the shooter "impersonated" a cop or was a "fake cop". Long before that was confirmed, I'm sure. (has it been confirmed?)

IF it is confirmed that the shooter was not really a cop, this (sadly) bolsters the case that ICE and other ACTUAL law enforcement NOT wearing masks or showing badges is hugely problematic. How the FUCK does a target know whether this is a "legitimate" encounter or not? (leaving aside whether raids by ICE or every encounter with an actual police officer is truly legitimate)
