One thing I take some exception to in the NY TIMES article, is the mention that some Fed actually walked up to Meyers and ID himself, and Meyers whipped out a weapon (or two).
From what I heard was this: there were plainclothes everything all over the intersection of Tinton and 152 for most of the early evening, blending in with the rest of the neighborhood. ESU Truck 3 was also in the area, but they backed that truck into the firehouse on Prospect Ave to get it out-of-sight.
When Meyers came out of the building, he was walking through the intersection and stopped, realizing that all the locals were, in fact, cops. Without waiting for Meyers to do something else, the fusillade of the cops "ventilated" him right in the street.
Meyers was, in fact, heavily armed, as they found out later when they examined his body.
