Yantis shows up and tells them what idiots they are. Feelers are hurt. Yantis is yelled at as if he's the one being a dumb-ass. Yantis ignores the panicked Dudley's and shoots the bull properly. Leos are still in "control at all cost mode" and now shoot Yantis.

Speculation, but I am taking bets.


Something along those lines was my bet, too.

If cover-up mode wins, it'll include a phrase like "...failed to comply with the Officer's lawful order to drop the gun...", which Dep. Fife has learned gives him license to murder in 2015. Just wild uninformed speculation on my part, of course. But that's my bet.

(And this is an argument for a whole 'nother thread, but the modern notion that a cop has any authority to issue orders is total BS from a Constitutional standpoint.)
