Officer shooting in Arvada

[Doc45]

There’s a video statement on Arvada’s Facebook page. I’m too inept to post it here, it’s on YouTube.

The Facebook post has the timeline. An incredible tragedy.

There are several valid reasons why Hurley would secure the perp's weapon, all of them legitimate, and that unfortunately cost him his life.

Not sure what to say about the people who directly observed the perp run up behind the Officer and did absolutely nothing.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Tragic all around. Not sure why you'd pick up the perp's AR after you ventilated him . . . but, still. Did the cop who killed the samaritan take a couple extra seconds to try to figure out what might be going on or did he just see & shoot? Hopefully there's some bodycam footage to show what actually happened.

Sucks that dirtbags like Holmes and the King Soopers shooter live and the dude who did the right thing and probably saved lives gets killed for stepping in. Be careful if you choose to get involved.

I think we can safely say it was a "see and shoot". Ironically, it is most likely justified under the law because the subjective standards are often met simply by someone calling 911, even if they were dishonest (not suggesting that here).

Yeah, I suppose the fact that the samaritan is dead leads to there not being many (or any) "drop the weapon!!"'s involved.

Still sucks all around.

What a terrible turn of events. I feel bad for the officer who made the mistake but not nearly so much as for the good guy who put the bad guy down and was killed for his integrity and his courage. Might this be an outgrowth of first responder training which basically teaches a shoot first, ask questions later approach? Was Hurley given a chance to put the AR down before being shot and murdered? Sorry, no body cams in Arvada.

It's more than ironic that our fine governor just signed legislation that targets citizens lawfully carrying concealed to protect themselves and the public while enabling both criminals and law enforcement overreach.

This really pisses me off and demands a big step back by the governor and the democrat legislature. Imagine if Mr. Hurley had been on scene when the muslim dirtbag walked into the Table Mesa King Soopers.
