Or just outright avoiding it. When Michael Reinhoel was shot in Lacey, WA, a few minutes away from me (and I was actually a paramedic at the time, on duty, but not dispatched to this), by the US Marshals, there was a distinct oddity that no-one really picked up on.

> A U.S. Marshals Service spokesperson said the task force attempted to arrest Reinoehl, and officers shot him after he produced a gun and fled on foot. The team included officers from the Pierce County Sheriff's Department

Wait, Pierce County? That County's border is miles away from unincorporated Lacey, and the "center" is effectively 30 miles (Lacey is a tri-city with Olympia and Tumwater, and Pierce County's seat is Tacoma). Why PCSO, and not Thurston County SO?

Well, the other agencies involved (like the WA DOC, which was an odd inclusion) don't (or didn't, this was 2020) wear bodycams. TCSO... does. PCSO... doesn't.

There was already a belief that he would not survive an encounter with LE, but without commenting on that, it's odd that you'd choose not to involve the agency who would ordinarily be responsible for that geographic area, just to use one from the next county.

So no bodycam footage of his final moments exists.
