City officials in Orlando, Florida, on Monday released recordings of mass shooter Omar Mateens conversations with police during his standoff at a gay nightclub in June.
Things finally seemed to be going better for Noor Salman and her husband, Omar Mateen. He had just been accepted into a police training program and had showered her with jewelry to celebrate. He had given her permission to visit her family in California and handed her spending money for the trip. And he had stopped hitting her.
So when Mr. Mateen told her that he would not be home for dinner the afternoon of June 11, she asked him not to go. It was Saturday — and she hoped it would be a family night. But he told her he had to see a friend, kissing her and hugging their 3-year-old son as he left.
Mr. Mateen never returned home. Instead, he drove two hours from the family’s home in Fort Pierce, Fla., to a nightclub in Orlando, where he killed 49 people and wounded dozens more before the police fatally shot him, ending one of the worst terrorist attacks in the United States since 2001...
I agree, it doesn't make alot of sense. Looking for more info:

Basic Abilities Test (BAT)
NOTICE!
If you took the I/O Solutions (IOS) Basic Abilities Test (BAT) for law enforcement officers and did not pass, changes to the pass/fail threshold, may mean you are now eligible to enter a law enforcement basic recruit training program.
A change to the Law Enforcement BAT was approved by the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission. Scores at or above 70% are now passing for applicants who took the BAT between June 1, 2010 and February 1, 2016.
If you took the IOS Law Enforcement BAT and received a score of 70% to 78%, you are now eligible to enter a law enforcement basic recruit training program. Results have already been changed in the Automated Training Management System and your test can be used for admission into a law enforcement basic recruit training program.

Edit to add I/OS Test Prep 2010:

From the NY Times article:“Salman, whose parents immigrated to the United States from the West Bank in 1985, was immediately a person of interest. F.B.I. agents questioned her for hours, eliciting from her that she had been with her husband when he bought ammunition and scouted the club. Some agents came to believe that she was not being truthful.”
Not being truthful based on what? Where is the evidence?

ok this might be todays full release , I will never forget, for as long as I live,(link below) the first time I heard at like 5:22 - 5:26 the cop starting with "Holy, Sh##, laugh and then you can hear him several seconds later ( (harder to hear)) how excited he gets---- like wow isnt this awesome and laughing
I might be being too senstive,but his tone of voice enraged me at the time and it retriggered right now

It has always been confusing to me. In the first 48 hours when tv folks started doing animations they all have him going in the front door intially.
But in this video a cop says it DID start outside. But you cant get into patio (IIRC) without entering main door
First time I saw the dance lights still going - creepy.
I have also learned if you want to try and hear what they are saying dont look at video - I think its a brain processing deal but if your eyes are not " noticing" anything visually that matters it is easier to "hear" and understand what they are saying to each other and on the radios.
This one is not new, it was the drag show that night. , if you like you tip em whie they are on stage, then they throw the tips down on the stage until they are done with the number. The MC of most shows are super over the top and dramatic and camply
think Joel Gray in "cabaret" and your there!
Rbbm.
CARIIS, you are right,
It is easier to hear ( and not be sickened) if one listens without watching the video, although cannot do it again because i actually feel queasy.
Understandable that you or anyone might feel upset at what sounds like a touch of laughter, but i honestly think that the "laugh" was an expression of suppressed shock and fear at the sights and sounds of what must have been he**
Poor guy, try "coming down " after a work shift involving abject horror.
He probably and rightfully, was probably afraid and showed it the only " acceptable " way for a LE in that actively dangerous situation.
imo, speculation.
My interpretation after listening to the video and paying particular attention to the Holy S##t is that first of all, it is being uttered by the "DJ on the main floor" who I think escaped to that upper office and is in that portion of the video being rescued by and ushered by the police through the club where he is seeing the carnage for the first time. Hence, "Holy S##t!" followed by an utterance that is NOT laughter, but almost a sound of crying out in disbelief.
It is NOT in my opinion a policeman laughing.
And, another comment, the policeman who said it started outside was guessing, in my opinion. The body he saw could have originally been inside, got shot, ran outside and collapsed. I don't put any weight at all on what he said.
Those are my opinions. - I.B.
Newly released Pulse 911 calls reveal terror, panic during, after shooting
These are new today. I haven't listened yet.
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-pulse-911-calls-released-20161114-story.html“By 3:20 a.m. on June 12, officers had figured out the gunman in Orlando's Pulse nightclub was Omar Mateen and were dialing his cellphone repeatedly. Most of the time, he didn't pick up.
When a negotiator who called himself "Officer Andy" dialed and redialed, he and another police officer talked about the killer.
"He sounds sober as the day is long and not stressed at all, so I think he's committed; I just don't think he's ready," the unidentified employee said.
In a recording six minutes later, while still trying to reach Mateen, a city employee said, "He sounds like he's stoned, to be perfectly honest."”
