The man who murdered two cops after luring them to his home with a fake 911 call allegedly interacted with officers at a local bar earlier that night.

Nicholas Brutcher and local cops crossed paths at Bleachers Bar in Bristol, Connecticut, though it is unclear what the interaction consisted of, according to CT Insider.

Earlier reports suggested Brutcher had been kicked out of a bar before he carried out his rampage, though it is unclear whether that was Bleachers Bar.

Bleachers declined to comment when contacted by DailyMail.com, with the revelation offering a possible motive for the ambush double-murder.

The news comes as police released the body-cam footage of Alec Iurato, 26, one of the three officers who responded Brutcher's home in Bristol last Wednesday.

Once the cops arrived, Brutcher suddenly opened fire on them, unloading more than 80 rounds at the unsuspecting officers. Dustin DeMonte, 35, and Alex Hamzy, 34, were both killed in the shootout.

Officer Iurato was shot in the leg but managed to run for cover, before eventually finding an opening and killing Brutcher with a single gunshot. It remains unclear what motivated Brutcher to carry out the attack.

Re: 21st Century logic...

(1) Misbehave so badly you are thrown out of a bar

(2) Resolve the situation by murdering Policemen

Things such as this have been going on for a long time.

One just didn’t hear about them minutes after they happened.

The FBI used to but out a print addition of the officers killed summery.

It came out once a year.

It detailed the how when and a lot of the times why of a officers on duty death.

Once a year. now you hear about on duty deaths within minutes.

Changes prespectives.

Because he was a maniac who had been drinking and had a beef with the cops earlier that evening.

The same politicians and media pieces of crap who were all about defunding the police and bending the knee are now rushing to the cameras to show their crocodile tears.

They are every bit the scum that the shooter was.

“The same politicians and media pieces of crap who were all about defunding the police and bending the knee are now rushing to the cameras to show their crocodile tears.”

This is how classic brainwashing works.

Fanatically present a narrative 24/7 for weeks and weeks.

Then present the opposite narrative 24/7 for weeks and weeks.

Those who “believe” the mass media become so confused their minds stop working.

Then they are ready to believe anything no matter how ridiculous.
