Darya kron4s Ongoing Investigation into the friendly fire fg of our Police Officer tom smith continues. We looked into by the transit Police Department swat team was not called in during last month probation search. We are the first to bring to the information from a former bart Police Officer who described a moment before officer michael maze fired his weapon killing Sergeant Smith. The officer who asked us to conceal his identity questions the decision not to call in the swat team. He talked to kron4s haazig madyun and a story youll only see a kron4. there was a decision that was made that the swat team was not going to be needed to conduct a search. That obviously the deemed to be fatal, according to the bart Police Website their swat team is utilize to make high risk entry 3 and also says the use of specially trained team members enhances the safety of police personnel. So why were they called in to clear the parks zero apartment in dublin before allowing Sergeant Tom Smith and at least three other officers to go inside. Bart police chief randy this was not a swat call log. This was a probation search which is not uncommon for Law Enforcement officers across the country that they respond. however this former bart police colleague of Sergeant Tom Smith says hes convinced that call should have been made for the swat team. in my opinion issued the because of the danger that was presented. At that point with they should have done it is pretty much backed out of the residents locket down because if they did it properly they would have had people watching the front and back of the house or sides. Clearly it had a backside to it read what they could have done is swat it down and wait. There was no urgency to get inside chief rainey says that is now swat officers including officer michael mace who fired the fatal shot killing Sergeant Smith all have the appropriate level of training for clearing and residents. mike maze is a very experienced welltrained officer. Obviously, something did not go the way he wanted it to go you can have all the training and experience in the world. We can train our people every other day and have them actually perform out in the field on their off days and probably Something Like this could go wrong about but this former bart copses shooting a bar officer is avoidable if the bar officers are properly trained. he died by another officer. That is so tragic. How often does that happen and Law Enforcement. Its so rare permit them at any time that theres going to be tacked on clearing or president ial searches it should be barred swat team . yes. By all means the swat team should be conducting the research is for the searches because they are proficient. haazig madyun, kron4 news.

Yes the car with the driver is san franciso county and the car in the foreground is in San Mateo County another way to tell is by these signs. To the left is thursday street cleaning the daly city side and to the right is Friday Street cleaning the San Francisco side another huge difference is the cost of a parking ticket if lets say you deceide to park on the sidewalk so if you park on this side of the line the ticket is well over 100 dollars however if you park on this side of the line the ticket is only 38 bucks and just because you see a San Francisco street sign it doesnt always mean that you are actually in San Francisco because sometimes just a few feet away the signs chance to daly city signs this car is getting a ticket for 38 bucks had it been 100 feet back the ticket would skyrocket to 100 plus this city and county line is so weird that sometimes homes are split in half by county borders so what this means is that Parking Enforcement has to manually enter in the address to confirm which county the vehicle is in before issuing a ticket can you imagine what it would be like if the parking on the sidewalk in sanfrancisco was only 38 bucks you would probably see more city vehicles like this parked on the sidewalk oh wait they dont ticket their own vehicles ver often of course since they are two different counties im sure Illegal Dumping of lets say this couch would have different penalties as well yes i caught them in the act this is a tale of two cities but unlike the Charles Dickens version this will require a follow up so litterly you can park on the same street have the exact same violation but your ticket could be cheap or expensive all depending on which city you are parked in in daly city, no in San Francisco oh heck right on the border to both cites Stanley Roberts kron 4 news last year automakers recalled a Record Number of cars and trucks in the erica im expecting some wet roadways and areas of showers.
