This is definitely not official confirmation.
“I heard it myself over the Baltimore City police radio that I had tethered to my body-armor vest, I heard it repeatedly. ‘Stand down, stand down, stand down! Back up, back up, retreat, retreat!’
Find us the audio. Then, maybe we can call it official depending upon the context. Since the person claiming this is an official, his claim should be taken seriously. There should be an investigation. According to his claim, there is audio. Let's hear it.
This guy is from out of town. There are too many possibilities here.

Oh good. There are plenty of people invested in proving this. If there is something, it will come up.

So this guy, an elected sheriff in a podunk county just south of Nowhere, decides to jump in a car with some of his buddies and go "help out" the Baltimore police? No coordination, just drive up, pull out the guns, and "hey! We're here to help! Where all them niggas at?"
And the dumb bastard gets his three brain cells fried when he discovers that somebody has actually given some thought to the situation, and decided that restraint might be a better policy than "shoot the fuck out of the enemy."
What a dumb fuck.
