I guess my confusion is, the police were only corroborated by 1 other person a civilian. As the reporter asked and pointed out, other people in that apartment complex did not hear the police say anything.

1 person in a full apartment complex when everyone else aid they didnt?

I dont believe they announced themselves. According to Cameron, 2 officers entered and say Walker was pointing a gun at them, then he fired. I highly doubt he'd have done that knowing they were officers. If he was pointing a gun at them, why wasnt a command given to lower the weapon? He didnt know they wee police because they didnt announce themselves

I would also think you could reasonably assume that Taylor and Walker heard them since they were standing in the hallway when they entered and were not in bed.

Was it the type of neighborhood where when it comes to the police no one saw shite?

Are we pretending it isnt possible that they announced themselves and Walker and Taylor didnt hear them?

Both were at the back of the apartment with the TV on and both were yelling at the door trying to figure out who it was.
