Aurora police officers were trapped inside the District 1 station house for hours July 3 night after protesters chained the doors shut and plotted to storm the building.
The incident occurred when protesters demonstrating at a memorial for 23-year-old Elijah McClain marched to the Aurora Police Departments District 1 station house near Montview and Wheeling just after 8 p.m. on July 3, KDVR reported.
Protesters chained the doors of the police station shut from the outside, trapping officers inside.
Aurora police have refused to comment on how many officers were locked inside the building for approximately seven hours, KDVR reported.
The unfortunate part is they trapped our officers inside, not just them being around the building, but physically wrapping ropes and other items around the doors of the district one station, around the entry exit gates our patrol cars come out of that was probably the most dangerous part, Aurora Police Department Spokesman Officer Matthew Longshore said.
Angry protesters barricaded the streets and vandalized the exterior of the police station, KDVR reported.
Police didnt move in to clear out the protesters locking their fellow officers in the station until about 3:30 a.m. on July 4 when rioters began shooting fireworks at officers in the area.

I’m coming to the conclusion that any female chief of police in a liberal state (Colorado, Aurora, here) or city is useless, a coward, and incompetent. Too many such accounts in the past two months, plus a few in major cities are gender/feminist appointments and just as useless.
Notice the twitter said that Chief Vanessa Wilson, Aurora, was on the phone talking to a PSL member.
Well, does anyone know who the PSL is? Let’s try a Trotskyite Marxist split off wing of the old Stalinist/Trotskyite “Workers World Party/Youth Against War & Fascism which became WWP/PAM (People’s Antiwar Mobilization) and APC (All-Peoples Congress). These became WWP/IAC (International Action Coalition), created by former AG Ramsey Clark, turned Marxist fool) and ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism).
In the late 1990’s or early 2000’s that a Richard Becker -led faction broke from the WWP and created the Party of Socialism and Liberation, based on the West Coast.
Good details at both www.keywiki.org (search under “Workers World Party and “Party of Socialism and Liberation”) and at www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org, then by name of organization.
We need to have some decent reporters look into what role the PSL played in this police station attack. Now this is Colorado so the Marxists/wimps leaders of the state (Gov. Jarid Polis) and the state legislature don’t care about the police, and the few police chiefs they support are Marxists/social justice fools or incompetent.
Thank you.
They only have one exit? Sounds like poor planning on their part to me.
Not until we throw out the leftist elected officials.
Cannibals running loose all over the streets...And they don’t even tell ya what city or state. Gak~
That and having to search for video links when the effing title says, “Video”, then ya go to the link and it’s no where to be seen or ya gotta jump through 50 hoops to get to it.
When the obvious information is not obvious, I just move on nowadays.
