re: Hillar Moore Releases Details of July 2016 Baton Rouge Police Ambush

I had always been under the impression that Gerald and Jackson were called to the scene after Garafola radioed out for assistance. It looks like Jackson and Gerald's cars are what attracted him to that location, and he killed all the officers on scene, then targeted those arriving until SRT took his arse out.

From reading the report, Garafola and Jackson were at the Bquik. Jackson purchased a bottle of water and proceeded to Benny's to air up his tires and wash his car while Garafola remained in the store. During all of this, Gerald is sitting at the red light on Airline waiting to turn left into the Bquik. If you watch the surveillance footage around 3:10 you will see Gerald's unit pull up to the red light and stop. A few seconds later a white Chevy Malibu, driven by Long, pulls up next to Gerald at the red light. As the video continues, Gerald pulls into the Bquick and Long proceeds down Airline and pulls an illegal uturn and heads back to the Bquik.
