...if the slugs came from a long distance away. Thanks for bringing up that anomaly too.

The police report finding casings where the crowd was, approximately, and said they were rounds for a pistol, but with no more detail. So why did they raid the house on the hill? And how does positing the shots came from a pistol close by jibe with the nonlethality of the wounds? The notorious inaccuracy of a pistol (grazing shot to one head)? Lower muzzle velocity?

It's been just under two days now, and it's no surprise that there are still paradoxes and contradictions in what we know. The police can't unfind the shells, so no doubt the paradox will be resolved, officially, by saying that the raid was unrelated or based on false info or something else.

The notion that there was some kind of a false flag operation can't rely on good fortune to explain why the two cops survived--no sniper is good enough to place the shots with that kind of precision. Or was the crowd the intended target, and the shooter had a very bad aim? The picture is cloudy...ask me later.
