Cops Targeted in Aurora

Heard it several times on channel 2 this morning.

That makes sense, they're owned by the same company and operate out of the same building.

Ahh, that's news to me. I'm a television news amateur.

Haha no prob, I'm full of...............all sorts of useless trivia LOL

Stay safe all. Targeting cops is just incredibly stupid. Can't imagine what it would be like without them out there. Making them more nervous only makes mistakes more likely, how is that doing any good? Just stupid. I have also not heard of any other state that has been voluntarily trying harder to correct the cop problems than those here in Colorado. Are there problems, yes, but not with the vast majority. Us vs them does not work..... For either side.

I sincerely hope this gets deescalated quickly.

I keep forgetting all the badge bunnies have been banned..

I wouldn't doubt this is some horrible attempt at humor. A drunken phone call or some mentally disturbed individual.

At least I can hope...

I can't think of a better example of a person/group not having completely thought a plan through than having the idea to target and kill police.

1) Kill Cops
2) ????
3) Profit

That must be what discussions among those groups look like. I don't mean to make light of the situation at all, but this really is so dumb that it is difficult for me to understand.

You assume they have motive beyond bragging rights/creating havoc.

If that was their plan.. wouldn't surprise be a better option? Nothing says 'stupid idea' like warning someone with a gun that you're coming for them.. Granted it could put the entire force on edge and bad things happen that shouldn't, THAT seems like a more likely scenario.

Exactly. Even with the cops knowing, the criminals still have the element of surprise. If someone innocent gets shot because a cop was on edge, that helps their cause even more. Cops don't get the luxury of their targets wearing a badge identifying who they are.
