14. That first shot makes me wonder

It almost sounds like one of the agents accidentally shot his gun, maybe while taking it out, as there is a hesitation and then rapid shots in succession. Just weird the hesitation between the first shot and all the rest. The subsequent shots seems almost like a reaction to that first shot. These agents so untrained it wouldn’t surprise me if one shot off his gun by accident.

I’m glad the state police chief refused to back off when federal agents told them to. Balistics should show if the bullets fired were all from agents guns, not the victims who was already held helpless to the ground.
