Reports are that the cop was wearing a yellow raincoat and was not clearly identifiable as a police officer. If you don’t know that a person is a cop, can you be be charged with assaulting a cop or disregarding signals from a cop? Is intent an issue? If I am driving and a plain clothes officer tells me to turn left and I turn right, have I committed a crime?
We're there flashing lights and the like there? It sounded like a person was killed right around there?
