I kind of empathize with the police. You have to assume every citizen is armed now a days. How do you tell the good guys from the bad.

Here's a video of multiple troopers involved in a running gun battle with a suspect they know has already killed one person and attempted to kill the troopers as well.
One trooper has an in vehicle camera pointed at himself. At engaging the suspect out of the vehicle, the trooper gives chase and again engages the subject from inside his own vehicle. All of the troopers involved use the radio, including the one shooting from inside his own vehicle, and he isn't screaming in to the radio despite multiple engagements. Is he wearing ear protection? I don't see any on him, nor any of the other troopers.
So it is most assuredly disputable that "the cop wouldn't have reacted so calmly." Not everybody goes into an immediate panic in an emergency. I suggest you listen to a big city's police scanner. For every guy who's voice rises, there's another who sounds asleep. It's intentional.

Much we still don't know on this case. Anything new from the police?
Just that thing they came up with about a 'female' having touched the squad car and also them having a search warrant and they're looking for bodily fluids in her home.

HER home?!?!? What on earth for?? She's the one who called police, to report a possible crime.
How very strange.
