So I heard about the shooting of the two police officers in Ferguson as I was heading into work this morning. Later, I read a couple of articles and there are some details in there that strike me as incredibly suspicious.
The officers were standing near a protest that was dwindling, down to a couple dozen people. According to the police chief, the shots came not from the protesters in the the parking lot that the officers were monitoring, but rather from a hill behind that parking lot. So the officers were shot around midnight. Apparently with a hand gun. From 125 yards away. And there were 3 or so shots, resulting in one head wound and one shoulder wound. Now, it is my understanding that it is really quite difficult to accurately hit a target from 125 yards away with a pistol (I've never tried anywhere close to that distance). Let alone a target that might be moving slightly. In the middle of the night. And yet, it seems that a largish percentage of the shots hit the targets they were aiming for. It is awful that the police officers were shot. But the narrative that I've seen thus far seems to be about "rogue protesters" who took advantage of the protest to be violent. All the details about the shooting though seem to go rather against that narrative. Am I misunderstanding the situation and being overly paranoid?
