It's simply not plausible that the police were trying to help. They had the organization and initiative to stop people who were trying to help. Their problem was a combination of cowardice and total disregard for the lives of anyone who wasn't a cop or a cop's family.

I have an active radon mitigation system installed in my house. (No crawlspace- the pipe is connected to the lid of my sump pit.) I'm thinking of installing a fan to provide ventilation for my basement in general, since it can get a little stuffy in there. (I have a couple of small windows near the top of the basement.) But I'm worried if the fan is sucking air out of the basement, that will negate the suction of the radon system and pull the radon up from underneath my house. And if the fan is blowing IN to the basement, that will result in the radon that does make it into the basement being blown up the stairs and into the house itself... how does one ventilate a basement without interfering with an active radon mitigation system?

Yes, I can see it.

The lid is sealed, but the basement was finished before the radon mitigation system was installed, so there are almost certainly some unsealed cracks hidden behind sheetrock or under the carpet.

Covid vaccines took about nine months to bring to market, and people rightfully marveled at how fast that was, saying it normally would have taken 4-5 years. But flu vaccines get an update every year. Now we need new updates to our Covid vaccines, to deal with the new strains. Will developing, testing, and releasing an update to a Covid vaccine be faster than developing the original vaccines was?
