Nos. 77-1698, 77-1210 & 77-1870 105 cond round of shooting, Harris, who was not in uniform at the raid, responded: ° Well, actually from that point on, I was really con- cerned with myself because cars were beginning to arrive in response to the policeman’s call. And I] was concerned in letting those officers arriving know that I was a police officer standing here. And this was a constant cry by me, police officer. While Harris subsequently was asked “who else was there other than the fourteen State’s Attorney’s Police Officers, when you got back to the apartment?” he men- tioned officers from other units, a photographer, an evidence technician and other officers making sketches. The question does not, of course, confine the 14 officers to the inside or outside of the apartment and obviously, in any event, the time referred to is obviously after the occupants had been removed when Lynwood Harris, himself, was helping by carrying out some of the firearms. When the raiders went inside, it was un- derstandable in this neighborhood that others would be posted outside to prevent interference with the opera- tion. The continuance of that guard duty clearly would have become more important after the actual shooting. In sum, I find no basis for even an inference that the nonshooters were inside when any occupant of the apart- ment was allegedly mistreated, and certainly not to sup- port the inference suggested in J udge Swygert’s opinion that they “callously chose to watch.” I must assume that the plaintiffs’ counsel have advised us of all of their record support for their assertion that all fourteen officers were inside and certainly this court is under no duty to search 37,000 pages of transcripts plus voluminous documents to see if there is some other reference to any of the nonshooters being present in the apartment before the occupants had been removed.2 * A footnote has been added to Ee Swygert’s pinion with at the nonshooters were
