Why do they believe that is wasn’t a real cop ?
The suspect left behind a fake police vehicle when he fled on foot.
Probably because they wouldn’t have bothered use forged credentials and a lookalike cop car? In any case the shooter has been identified as Lance Boelter (still at large) and apparently is actually not a cop. He was a Walz reappointee a government Workforce development committee until 2023, but supposedly now is an employee of a private security firm.
