WELL, THERE’S THERE’S NO TEST

AT 5.30, THIS AFTERNOON, THERE
WAS A BURDEN TO ON NORTH SIDE

THAT BURGLARY. ABOUT 06:30PM.
THEY LOCATED A SUSPECT, A

STREET, THEY APPROACHED THE
VEHICLE. SPOKE TO A RESIDENT

VEHICLE. THEY TRACKED SOME
EQUIPMENT ARE SOME THINGS THAT
WERE STOLEN FROM THAT BURGLARY
TO THAT LOCATION. THEY
APPROACHED VEHICLE IS 5
OFFICERS INVOLVED APPROACHED
VEHICLE WHEN THEY GOT TO THE
VEHICLE, THEY FORMULATE A
PLAN. BUT THEY LOOK AT ON TOP
OF THE CAR ON TOP OF THE CAR.
THERE WAS A HAND ON TOP OF THE
CAR WAS IT WAS STILL UNKNOWN
WATER. AND THAT WAS ON TOP OF
THE CAR. THEY REMOVED THAT HAD
A GUN, PUT IT TOWARD THE BACK
OF THE VEHICLE AND THEN BEGAN
TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
MAKING A PLAY ON HOW THEY WANT
TO HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THE
INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS SLEEPING
ON THE BACK SEAT ON THE

DECIDE TO OPEN THE DOOR, NOT
GO INSIDE THE VEHICLE BUT OPEN
THE DOOR AND HAVE A
CONVERSATION WITH THEM WHEN
THEY OPENED THE DOOR, THEY
ASKED HIM TO SHOW ME A CHILL
IN THE HANDS SEVERAL DIFFERENT
OCCASIONS, PROBABLY 7 OR 8
TIMES FROM DIFFERENT DIFFERENT
OFFICERS AND ASKED HIM ALSO TO
GET OUT OF THE CAR. WELL, HE
REFUSED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR.
HE KEPT SAYING JUST TURN THE
LIGHT OFF AND GET A LOT OUT OF
MY FACE WATCHING C. AND DURING
THE CONVERSATION FOR AN
UNKNOWN REASON HE FIRED OFF A
SHOT GRAY’S ONE OF OUR

BACK TO. THAT’S CORRECT. AND
WHEN THEY GOT THERE AND THIS
ALL TOP OF CAR, YES. IT WAS AT
THAT POINT. THEY WERE TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT, OK, THAT’S WAY
