I read this article online a few days ago. It surely sounds like they are having some issues with their radio communications. I am thankful the officer who was shot will survive. We have lost too many police officers this year alone.
I did have to play the video back to see the type of radio the Chief was using -a BaoFeng. I know many amateur radio operators who have used them for the hobby, myself included, and they work okay for that purpose. It is my personal choice, but I will not trust my safety and my life to a BaoFeng radio.
