Metro Police off...This is how it should have read:<br /><br />Metro Police officers who were on the front lines of a recent showdown near the Bundy ranch in Bunkerville say they feared for their lives. <br />At least some of the BLM personnel who pointed weapons at protesters during the confrontation may have wanted a violent outcome and tried to incite one.<br />In exclusive interviews with the 8 News NOW I-Team, officers who were on the scene shared their thoughts and fears, and they say it is not over.<br />"These guys with rifles, keep them calm," was Clark County Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo's request to the BLM's on-site commander the day of the confrontation.<br />Lombardo's top priority was to prevent a spark that might set off a bloody firefight.<br />"There was a possibility of somebody just having an accidental discharge causing a blood bath, because the individuals that were showing up, these Federal Law Enforcement Officers quote unquote, were armed to the teeth," Lombardo said.<br />On one side, a huge crowd of angry citizens including militia members, on the other armed federal rangers and agents, and in the middle, 30 Metro officers, exposed and vulnerable, aware that if the shooting began, some of them would die.<br />"You are standing there going, 'I just hope it doesn't hurt when it comes. That it's quick,' and it was real for us. It was real," Sgt. Tom Jenkins said.<br />"(*You thought you might die?) Yeah." Sgt. Jenkins said. <br />Brian Picardonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-30655176552031201602014-05-02T00:17:26.803-04:002014-05-02T00:17:26.803-04:00That was a fascinating conflict and I have many po...That was a fascinating conflict and I have many posts on the site concerning it.
