I think he was not telling the police
But yelling towards the police
Unclear how far away he actually was from the police.
I'd be very curious to find that out.
I thought the same thing. To the police, he could have just looked like some random bystander yelling at them. It's another thing to actually go up to a cop and inform them directly to their face what he saw.
Also, when you're yelling at someone from far away, you assume they can hear you.
But say the cops were 30 yd away. They'd be hearing noise from all over from everybody including the speech through the speakers.
