Bruley has said his officers were using de-escalation tactics in the pursuit of Boelter. A senior law enforcement official said this was not a de-escalation situation; officers should have gone into the house to confront Boelter.

After shooting the Hortmans and the family dog, Gilbert, Boelter allegedly escaped out the back door, which was propped open. He then dumped his mask, wig and gun, and was on the run for 43 hours before being captured.

Instead of entering immediately to check on Melissa Hortman, the officers waited for a drone to see if Boelter was inside and if Melissa Hortman was still alive. Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley said his officers thought they shot Boelter & he was “holed up” in the basement.

It took more than an hour for Brooklyn Park police to go to Hortman’s home. At 3:35 a.m., 2 Brooklyn Park police officers arrived & fired at Boelter as he entered the house after shooting Mark Hortman. Despite the gunfire, officers didn’t enter the house FOR OVER AN HOUR.

Mylan Masson, a retired Minneapolis police officer and former police trainer, noted it was dark, the car looked like an unmarked police vehicle and Boelter was dressed as a cop. On top of that, the officer was going to check on Sen. Ann Rest and went to complete that task.

The clip shows the bank robbers dressed as nuns, wearing silicone masks & holding guns as they pull up beside a Boston police officer. The officer stares at them for several seconds & lets them go. In the modified clip, the New Hope Police logo is superimposed on the cop car.

Inside law enforcement circles, Boelter’s interaction with the New Hope officer after the shooting of the Hoffmans was instantly critiqued. A video allegedly passed among officers within days of the shootings includes a clip from the film “The Town.”.

Several sources the New Hope officer’s interaction with Boelter was not reported to other law enforcement agencies in real time. Whether that’s because the officer didn’t report it or because police radio traffic was so heavy that the transmission didn’t go through is unknown.
