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

---

5 SRT members fired almost 90 shots and Long was hit 45 times, per his autopsy

Sidenote: He was high on meth and apparently had a little booze in him but could have been night before hangover.


All of those LEO responding were heroes that day. But man I can't stop thinking about Jackson and Garafola for the courage they displayed moving towards Long and tending to Gerald respectively with nothing but vests and handguns

And watching animation of the SRT. Those guys didn't frick around closing in on him. The encouraging solace in the tragedy is to see so many brave LEO respond without hesitation(IMO by watching the animation and listening to the dispatch).
They'll be analyzing and using this tragedy for years in training. And I hope/expect it'll help prevent or mitigate incidents like this in the future.
