Lt. Col. Josh Judah, the commanding officer on the ground, called in to where LMPD brass and the mayor’s office followed activity through the city’s network of surveillance cameras. He wanted to make sure everyone was watching the cameras: “Check out what we’re about to do.” https://twitter.com/robferdman/status/1387053526459707396

They say Judah wanted to make sure everyone was watching the surveillance cameras at the intersection where Dino’s and McAtee’s restaurant were both located and watched as law enforcement arrived at 26th and Broadway.
“I put up my feet and got out the popcorn,” one officer said.

Remember Judah was at the scene of the Breonna Taylor raid and told then-Chief Steve Conrad that Taylor had fired at officers as they raided her home and she was on the floor in a “prone position holding a rifle.”
Conrad said it was 100% contradictory https://www.wdrb.com/in-depth/ex-lmpd-chief-initially-told-by-commanders-that-breonna-taylor-fired-rifle-at-officers/article_1e9c0752-002c-11eb-a9e5-0377344066cb.html

. @LMPD Major Paul Humphrey, one of the highest-ranking officers to respond to the scene, told a National Guard member, "I'm glad we could get you onto a little something."
