When the COPS crew was out at my station I got the chance to meet a lot of them and they were a really good group of guys. Hope he pulls through

ETA: All of the crew had vests on when they were with us, lots of lights and camera equipment. Those guys are fearless though, with just a vest on and carrying all their filming gear they could move and stick right with you. Pretty impressive to watch.

Pretty sad he passed away. The Omaha police are a good group of cops in my opinion, and I hope this turns out to be a tragic accident.

Press conference scheduled for 230 central.





News had CSI on both sides of Dodge with metal detectors (looking for casings?) and being OPD allows officers to carry their own AR's after the proper training and they love to break them out for most any occasion.... So the chance is a vest may have not helped

If they didn't know what he was, they probably shouldn't have shot him. That seems to be a difficult concept for LEOs these days though.

And "responding" and "crossfire" would seem to imply the bad guy was shooting too. Doesn't appear that he was.

Could be the case as could the difficult concept of waiting for some of the investigation details to come out.  

I've seen cops flag other cops with weapons, I've seen citizens walk into pretty dangerous situations that you couldn't buy a clue for.  If he's on a crew for Cops, I would imagine he should have a lot of field experience and time with cops.  That said two or more humans each with the capability of independent thought and decision making may sometimes put one or more of them in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Hell, I spend most of the time that I go back home in areas that most of this board would consider "the poor areas."  I went to high school in North Omaha and spent most of my time with friends in North Omaha.  Can you find crime, poverty, and violence if you want to?  Sure.  However, Omaha's true "shit hole" areas are tiny pockets compared to what you find in other cities.

Thats my thoughts.  I was watching the 20th Anniversary COPS  DVD set, and they showed some behind the scenes production stuff.  The cameras and sound equipment is now very small, and black.  Instead of a big boom mic, some actually are held like guns.  The cameras arent on shoulders anymore, but held out in front at chest level.  When I bough that set a couple of years ago ($5 at Walmart), I remarked then that the gear should be anything other than a dark color.  I may have mentioned it here.
