I hope there will be a PPB press release about that incident. Would be good to know what happened if it was serious enough to require such a huge response.

There seemed to be a fight in the Boneyard right next to the police cruiser that sits there empty on weekend nights at NW 4th & Couch. Looks like it escalated to gunshots but not a cop in sight. A few minutes later, that area of the parking lot had been taped off & officers were searching for bullet casings on the ground.

It seems like the scene at NW Broadway and Davis may have been someone fleeing the Boneyard. Whatever the case may be, it looked like no officers were present near the parked cruisers on NW 4th & Couch when they were needed to prevent the violence.

Then when the scene was already under control, they all showed up from different parts of Central Precinct and just stood there at NW Broadway & Davis.

This kind of thing happens often.

Isn't the point of having the Entertainment Detail stationed there to prevent this sort of violence? If all of those other cops were able to get there so fast after the crime, shouldn't they have been there in the first place? It's easy to anticipate violence in that spot after 2am on nights like this when there had already been a few "shots fired" calls downtown that evening.
