GAYLE KING: Can I ask you what you both think of the police behavior and actions that night?
NUMBER ONE: Negligent.
GAYLE KING: Negligent?
NUMBER ONE:They couldn't even provide a risk assessment.It sounded like they hadn't done one. So their organization leading up to this was lacking. That's what I mean by they were negligent in the operation.
GAYLE KING: Number Two?
NUMBER TWO:They were criminal leading up to this in everything that they-- the way they moved forward on it, including the warrant was deception.
