COS Active Shooter - EPCSD Deputy Down

[Aloha_Shooter]

The shooting has prompted many in the community to call for an end to officer-involved shootings, including Boulder County Sheriff’s deputy Jeff Pelle, who was shot and seriously injured in an ambush on New Year’s Eve.

Gee...why didn't the police think of that. WTF does that even mean?

I can't imagine how you get to the point where shooting a police officer seems like a good idea.

That quote from CBS is IMO an offensive attempt to justify these shootings of officers by tying and equating them to "officer-involved" shootings.

Also hearing that the CSPD officer in surgery is not doing well

Deputy who was killed was an 11 year veteran of the EPCSD:

In a short news conference Monday evening, Sheriff Bill Elder identified the slain deputy as 34-year-old Deputy MicahFlick.

Elder spoke of his "profound sadness" at losing the young deputy, who leaves behind a wife and 7-year-old twins.

Monday was Flick's 11-year anniversary with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.

Wow this is getting real old. Between the trash moving here for weed and bringing their politics and the sheer number of them I figured an increase in crime would insure but this is getting out of control

This stuff sucks every time.

Another sad day, indeed. Thoughts go out to all. RIP.

This sucks for this man and his family.

Unfortunately this is what happens when you have to handle thugs with kids gloves. Can't call them criminals anymore because it's offensive, can't put them up for the death penalty anymore because our liberal chicken speck governor gives them a stay of execution and so we foot the bill for them the rest of their lives.

This country needs a drastic change, a jolt, a shock of sorts..but those types of conversations aren't allowed here, so I can't talk about that.

We have those already...I think they've been calling them Riots for a while.

I agree with you Cogirl, but this is the new age of Policing in America.

Dang, the SO's have taken some hits lately.

To the LEO's: Stay strong guys. We appreciate you and are praying for you.

PS - I've always admired the SO's in this state. That admiration was solidified when so many Sheriffs attempted to defend our 2nd during the lead up to, and since, the mag ban. They've always appeared to treat their job in the traditional sense of LE. To serve and protect. I suspect that them taking that mission so seriously has something to do with the recent losses. And for that, I am grateful. You guys do a great job.

When a large enough portion of the population doesn't follow the order of the society, there will never be enough police.

Prayers go out to these officers and their families.
