This is a sad story. There was a gunman in Arvada - (Denver Metro) in the small downtown area. This guy immediately rushed into action to take him out after he already shot a police officer. He took down the gunman. Police arriving on the scene thought he was the shooter and took him down.

From the post: "Kathleen Boleyn filed the lawsuit in June 2022, a year after the midday shootings in the main square of Olde Town Arvada, a historic shopping and entertainment area about 7 miles (10 kilometers) northwest of downtown Denver.

Boleyn said her son, Johnny Hurley, ran toward danger and shot the gunman, Ronald Troyke, who had just fatally shot Officer Gordon Beesley. An investigation found Troyke, who died after Hurley shot him, was intent on killing as many officers as he could that day."

This is a sad story.

This is criminal negligence. The bar for police is higher than for citizens. Cops don't get to shoot people just because they were scared because they volunteered to be there. They can only shoot people who are behaving in an active threatening way. e.g. Erratic negro, failing to comply, leveling a weapon etc.

This cop never said a word, didn't identify himself, never gave the guy a chance to comply, and shot a man who never even saw him.
