Don’t fall for the “impersonating a cop” narrative so easily.

If reporters would stop letting cop press releases be directly dictated into their reporting, we’d be in much better shape.

Ask the real questions:

Why was there a police vehicle?

Reposted from Aaron Rupar

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Exactly, obviously an investigation is ongoing, until its conclusion, one has to assume that the culprit could have been/was an actual Police officer!

Good point!

This makes more sense.

Um, yeah. It’s not like any schmo having a SUV outfitted to resemble a cruiser wouldn’t get significant attention. I was waiting to hear that the car was stolen, but no mention if that was the case.

If Lee Oswald were still available…

This exactly. First question I would have asked.

And how many videos have you seen of Cops failing to identify themselves. “Just trust us” didn’t work here did it?

truckle4evr.bsky.social•1 day ago

One reason nobody should trust cops that refuse to id themselves, have no badge and are not properly uniformed. Just like those "ICE" agents. I don't think they are feds, but they are bounty hunters posing as feds and have no legal authority to arrest except for bail violations and nothing else.

It was apparently a black SUV with police style lights, not a marked police car. This indicates to me it wasn't a real police car, but looked enough like one to fool people. A name has now been given who is not a cop.

Anyone can buy a black suv similar to what police use… can get it kitted out with lights, siren etc. Also the suspect owned a security company which likely made it easier to get the equipment etc. No one’s saying he had a “police car”. A dentist did this:

He fooled the cops. They had him cold and he walked away. Just another cop. How is the public supposed to tell?

chuckgoat.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah, a police uniform is pretty easy to get. A police cruiser though, that's another story. Unless a police cruiser is reported stolen, everyone should operate on the basis of police officer shooting Democratic legislators.

They just left a shooting and had an "idea" to go check yet they didn't go out with guns drawn?
