20. The video they released is sneaky too.

I feel like they are trying to give the impression that the gun they mentioned was visible by the officer from the window and can even been seen the actual video they released, but after going through over it a few times I don't think that's the case. The stills were taken from some other unreleased part of the video, and it's not clear where the firearm was at.

As you already stated, that doesn't matter either way. Doesn't seem unreasonable that a person investigating strange people in their backyard late at night might arm themselves.
