...There is a major discrepancy between the Metropolitan Police Department press release and the first wave of mainstream news articles about the case.
Police reported that they “heard gunshots” while patrolling the area. But the mainstream news claimed that police found out about the shooting from their ShotSpotter system, which tracks the sound of gunshots via hidden recording technology around the city then sends the location of the gunshots to police digitally....
This is a clear contradiction. The police said they “heard” the shots at 4:19. But the papers reported that they learned about the shooting from ShotSpotter alerts, which take 30 to 45 seconds to transmit, at 4:20.Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman told Big League Politics that officers learned about the shooting “Through ShotSpotter technology,” pointing to a public incident report that lists “R-1 CIC ShotSpotter” as the reporting person at 4:20. Presented with the original Department press release, which said that officers “heard gunshots,” Bilal did not immediately have an explanation.
The article goes on to show how shotshotter works.
Another question I have is why the police report doesn't mention the bruises and torn watch. When does that happen? If Seth was talking to his GF until up to the time he was shot, wouldn't he have told her that he had gotten beat up? The only explanation for this to me is that the cops inflicted the bruising after he was shot, or it happened in the ambulance.

Yes, there for spoliation of evidence. There's also the possibility that they weren't real LEO.

The thing you have to remember is shotspotter doesn't work. They installed it in a city near me and discontinued use after it was found to be ineffective. It reports everything as shots. It made a small town look like Syria. 400 plus shots a night reported. actual number zero.

ha, that's funny. Shotspotter was rankling me, being added to the police report after the fact, so I did a quick scan earlier about Shotspotter, looking for anyone familiar in the Directors/Corporate Admin but nothing stood out. Somebody else should double check. They seem to be in a lot of places. Maybe this is a whole new rabbithole.

The original Police Press Statement
13Buddha ago
A submission was made a short time ago with a link to the actual Public/Police Report from the shooting. Names of responding police officers are on it, one of whom was wearing a Body Cam. Report also notes that Seth Rich was conscious on police arrival.

I thought three were wearing body cams?

As Georg Webb said, its a play.With changing script.Seems they really are in panic mode.

I'd opine this is a minor contradiction at best, that it's not impossible that both officers and ShotSpotter reported. The time also appears consistent.

the only police that do anything.

In the original press conference the spokesman says the officers heard the shots, if it was ShotSpotter I think he would have said so, like a "see how well it works" thing.
Also, same spokesman, same press conference, he made a possible slip in saying "he was taken to local hospital, where he ALSO succumbed to his injuries" as in (maybe) his assailant/s were already deceased.

My internet is stalling the video, so I wonder when was this press conference? The 4channers are looking at 2 murdered in a gold astro van in a parking lot in Myrtle Beach on July 11, 12 hours later, unsolved, as possible shooters.

"they “heard” the shots at 4:19"
I bet they've been told to always say "heard" instead of "our ShotSpotter system heard" because they didn't want to remind people they use one.
"The only explanation"
The only explanation I have for all this is "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we set out to deceive."
And this:
"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." - Abraham Lincoln

Thanks for your reply but that doesn't make sense, the initial police report is the that the Officers Heard the Shots, but all the papers and the later report claims that shotspotter reported the shots, it contradicts the idea that they don't want people to know about shotspotter, otherwise they would stick to the original report. Why change the report, unless you didn't want anyone to know that the cops were at the scene within only a minute or so. If the cops were that close, how could a shooters get away cleanly?

Nothing that the homo Dark Meth posts makes any sense.

"Why change the report"
Who knows. I highly suspect these people are making things up as they go along. We're just seeing the "fog of war".

Lol Just like HRC taking fire on the tarmac in Bosnia, Benghazi comments. Damn that "fog of war." It sure gets around!

"HRC taking fire on the tarmac in Bosnia"
Yep. The problem with HRC is she started inhaling her own marketing smoke a long time ago and no one ever told her to stop because she surrounded herself with sycophants. It's not a lie if you believe it after all. But things turn south fairly quickly, there's like a 100% failure rate once someone starts getting high off their own shit.

Sorry about paragraph spacing, having trouble with formating.

I remember both of those scenarios. Wack job answer. there is a coverup with the second answer. Why change the narrative unless it is to someone's benefit.

If the Shotspotter recorded it then does that mean the sound of the shots are recorded? FOIA
2impendingdoom ago
Yes, they are. And the shot shooter is processed by a human monitor.
the article says that in the major papers that the shotshooter reported the shots at 4:20 which would mean realistically that the officers still needed a few minutes to put down their donuts and respond, right? So that would give the shooters time to get away. But if the officers were only a minute or two away at 4:18, I would think its pretty likely that they would have seen fleeing shooters. In any case, its strange to change the report.
According to the video, the shot shooter system has a relay time as it required human interpretation/analysis to process, so the shooting time of 4:18 is probably accurate.
carmencita ago
Yes and it records. Does anyone remember what the spot shooter supposedly recorded? Just the feet of the attackers? Where is that?
