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.

Absolute nonsense.
It's OK to besiege a police station, lock officers inside with no way out and destroy police property, but dadgummit when you violate the fireworks ban we gotta act!
And guess what? Crime in Aurora, as in Denver, is way, way up.
Quite sure the roof was still accessible to police. Might have been protecting what was inside rather than trying to break out..?
Theses blue lives matter assholes refer to these rioters as protesters. They aint gonna get much sympathy if they are too timid to call out the thugs, looters and rioters for what they are. More proof that most of the country is totally clueless.
I call BS. There is NO WAY you could lock up, what?, 4, 5, 10, 12, burly, fit, intelligent men, having all the tools at their disposal that they’d need to break out, with some sticks, some rusty chains and bits of rope. They were probably glad they could fake being locked up so they wouldn’t have to go out and kill a bunch of idiots.
No worries. The death will not be deemed terrible because the murder was just by an innocent protester.
It is not usually the cops fault on the street - it is their feckless leadership that cannot make decisions. They are too timid for their own good.
This is ridiculous. Let the police do what they are paid to do without fear of prosecution and reprisal in all but the most egregious of acts. This anarchy will continue until people say enough and unshackle the police.
If you will not allow them to use force when necessary then what is their purpose?
Next time, call 911.
If you defended yourself as a cop in these jurisdictions you would be arrested.
What part of this do people not understand? I don’t like the cops so it’s their fault even when they are NOT ALLOWED to do their job that requires force when necessary?
Why is it allowed to continue?
and the police could think of no way to deal with their attackers?
either the town has the world’s stupidest cops (which I doubt) or else it has some dangerously-communist politicians running the show
Are there no cameras with someone monitoring the screen to see the crowd form and do this?
Hardly anything more pathetic than an impotent police officer.
Stop calling them “protesters”. They are thugs, insurrectionists, communist extremists, and traitors. Protesters aren’t violent.

You can pretty much bet that she is on the side of the 'protesters'.
False imprisonment occurs when someone confines or detains another person against their will and without any legal justification......arrest these thugs, and sentence them with the full extent of the law!
Thanks for posting this:
Every day this question arises with threads:
Please tell us the name of the city and state (if its not France or somewhere as earlier today).
Thanks to all.
The right thing to do is shoot to kill the ones locking them in. I’m betting the mayor ordered the cops not to shoot. And so, this will happen again.
Thanks!
