That was crazy. Scenes like that, with multiple officers, tend to be a clusterfuck. Good on the supervisor for getting his priorities right. Checked the cops for injuries, sequestered them, got the Public Safety Statement, directed public welfare checks, and made sure to tell the cops he was glad they were okay. He handled his part pretty well. The other parts.....could be improved.
Female Deputy attacked with knife. Barely escapes. Complete with glock malfunction clearance.
It's hard to watch this and not conclude that SDPD could use more tactics training to avoid blue-on-blue shootings. I'm sure someone else has concluded that their training budget should be cut, though...
