"Did you hear any police commands?" prosecutor Charles Testagrossa asked.
"No," Napoli said.
"Did you ever hear any shouts, 'Police!' 'Don't move!" Testagrossa asked.
"No," Napoli replied again.

Thanks for the link
I'm wondering if police are required to make any formal orders which would reveal their identities before advancing towards any suspect/citizen especially with drawn weapons?
