Actually, DK, I found this to be an interesting case as it is developing. There are interesting circumstances to the story. It seems like the victims "appeared" to be a threat, but the response seems so excessive. I also wonder if the victims made a really poor choice in their club for a bachelor party (or if they even knew). As he story develops, we are finding out new information. Apparently, the victims thought the undercover cops who did not identify themselves were out to rob them which is why they reacted the way they did.
I think this point is the critical part of all these cases. Police clearly identifying themselves or not and the effect it has.
I'm trying to imagine how I would react of a bunch of people started shooting without saying they were cops. I would probably crap my pants.
