“The Cossacks who made public statements said the first shot came from Bandidos. That might not be true, but if the first bullets came from police, why would the Cossacks blame it on police.’
Consider that in the melee and the fact that people are being shot, trying to “get the lay of the land” so to speak, might not be anyone’s highest priority. Hell, one cop could have fired a shot in the air, and that could have touched off the whole thing.
Is there any account from any source that suggests a police officer started the gunfight by firing in the air? If so, please share it.
