"The chaos started when people called 911 to report an officer was shot in Olde Town Arvada. Officer Beesley responded and was shot by the suspect, Ronald Troyke. Arvada police say the man who shot and killed one of their own “hated” police officers. Hurley was at a local store when he heard gunshots and ran outside. He engaged with Troyke, shooting and killing him. Three Arvada officers were in a nearby office building. They heard the initial gunshots and saw the shooter, Troyke, head to his car then return to the square. Hurley shot Troyke, but the next time officers saw someone with an AR style rifle, it was in Hurley’s hands. “The officer here had objectively reasonable grounds to believe and did believe that he and other people were in imminent danger of being killed that day,” district attorney Alexis King said. “We hope our decision not to file charges will bring a small piece of closure to those affected and that in this finality there is some healing,” King said."
So after this cop hating BLM thug guns down a cop, the hero is then gunned down by cops -- and no one ever was punished for it?? The district attorney talks about healing? Healing? WTF? How does that bring healing to his family when he was the guy who stopped the shooter? What good is it to be the good guy with the gun in this scenario, if doing the right thing still gets you killed by police? And this is compounded by the fact that for days, the police lied and claimed the shooter actually killed Mr. Hurley when they KNEW ALREADY that it was Mr. Hurley who took out the shooter....and the only way we knew this is because it took media filing FOIA requests to get the info....in other words, the cops were A-OK with continuing to lie about what happened....
It get worse......after lying to the public and refusing to acknowledge the full depth of Hurley's bravery -- we find out that the cops didn't even attempt to ID Hurley as the shooter or even ask him to drop his weapon...they just opened fire on sight...The problem is, the cops already seen the guy who was the shooter; so why automatically assume anyone with a gun is also a shooter and gun them down??..What's the fucking point of being the good guy with the gun at the scene of a shooting, if cops will just fire upon you indiscriminately?? And then lie about it afterwards....that discourages those of us from wanting to be the hero and saving the day; if we are just gonna get gunned down by trigger happy cops who can't tell a good guy from the bad guy.....I am very discouraged that virtually no guns rights activists cared enough for this guy to demand accountability.....RIP John Hurley....
