Police say suspect dressed as law enforcement and shot at responding officers before escaping

I’m just gonna say. Might the suspect have been a police officer? I wouldn’t trust the police to disclose that.

I mean if they are wearing a uniform and emerged from a cop car as eyewitness accounts suggest…

The gunman was still at large, law enforcement said on Saturday, and the city of Brooklyn Park was still under a shelter-in-place order. The shooter was impersonating a police officer, dressed in a uniform that would appear to be real to most people, police said.

“They did drive a vehicle that looked exactly like an SUV squad car,” Brooklyn Park’s police chief, Mark Bruley, said at a press conference. “It was equipped with lights, emergency lights, that looked exactly like a police vehicle, and yes, they were wearing a vest with Taser, other equipment, a badge very similar to mine, that, no question, if they were in this room, you would assume that they are a police officer.”

Hmmmmmmmm

So when do we see the massive manhunt to find the shooter....I assume they will use the same amount of resources they used to find Luigi. Right?
