    I heard that he even was in a police car. He had a badge and taser and vest etc… it really does feel like it actually is a police officer

      A reporter who saw the vehicle said that it would look like a police vehicle from a distance and at night, but during the day it looked off, like you’d think ‘that might not be a real cop’.

      And they’ve identified the suspect and he’s not a cop.

        New information shows it was a security company run by evangelicals that he worked for. So his vehicle likely was intentionally looking like police. Could even have lights on top. And they could wear uniforms, carry most anything a cop can, the badge would be different, but at 2am…

        Edit: the vehicle did have lights, and a ram on the front like police SUVs have. Also a photo of him shows him looking like an officer. Long navy sleeves, black vest with lights/utility

            Sort of…

            I.R.S. tax forms show that Mr. Boelter and his wife once led a Christian nonprofit called Revoformation Ministries. An archived version of the group’s website described Mr. Boelter as becoming an ordained minister in 1993.

              That’s why the Blue’s Brothers weren’t in it directly for the money. They just needed to save the ophanage.
