should i be aware of this. i send it onto the fbi. in this particular case, the bureau was suggesting we got this information. it didn t have the critical facts, the elements of i a threat. it didn t say when it was going to take place, where it was going to take place, what type of weapons was going to do, so it would be unusually judged to be one of the thousands of statements that are put on there about politicians, schools, other people. but you know, the bureau tried to run had down. the question is, in 2020 hindsight, do i wish you and i as fbi agents could have sat down with this young man and said, look what you wrote on the internet, did you mean it? and if he says no, i was just kidding, i had a bad day, you know, we couldn t take his guns. we couldn t search his house. we couldn t commit him for a psychiatric exam. we couldn t follow him 24 hours a day. all that aside, i wish they could have taken the extra step on this guy. clint van zandt, thank you for being here.
stay indoors as best they can. they understand that people have to go to work ask nd do things,t if they can stay indoors and be on the lookout, they would prefer they do that. lieutenant charles gliniewicz, ready to retire, but he decided to stay on as a father of four. he helped the men and women of this town that wanted to be future police officers, future cadets, he was a role model for them. 24 police officers have been killed this year alone, so far four in the last nine days. i want to bring in profiler clint van zandt. clint, we hear them saying they re going to beef up patrol of the perimeter. what would that look like? well, you re going to see a lot of marked cars. they want to show a very strong police presence, so the local, the county, the illinois state police are going to throw a lot
robbery they had planned? was it a drug deal that the lieutenant stumbled upon? all of this is going to impact on who they might be and where they might have fled to. and clint, the fact that he decided to go on foot and chase three people that clearly he felt were up to no good being by himself, does that tell you anything? well, law enforcement takes on more than one on one all the time. but, again, that s a big challenge for this officer. did he chase them into an area where all three confronted him and attacked him? did they split up and one got in behind him and had the drop on him? there is a lot of issues here. we know he called for backup, but when you get into a rural area like this, it s not like a major city, new york, chicago where backup may be seconds away. in an area like this, backups could be minutes, 10, 15 minutes
they be? and the fact that that perimeter that, as you say, was cordoned off and it was a massive police presence around that perimeter or in that perimeter, the fact they were unsuccessful in finding anybody within that perimeter, it goes to show, clint, what, that they probably had some fort of transportation to get them out early? and if they did, then how do you start looking for them? well, i think your premise is logical. these three individuals had to get there somehow. did they walk from chicago? obviously not. so the likelihood is that they had a vehicle someplace nearby, either one or maybe two cars between the three of them. so they re trying to identify vehicles that might have been seen in that local area as well as these people themselves. if they weren t locals, if they weren t people who lived in this community of 10,000, what brought them there? was this a daytime burglary, a
