So, none of them was the designated driver? Uber for the cops? Sad dang situation.

““Typically, if you go to a bar, if you’re going to be drinking,” you would leave your gun at home, Kuredjian said.” Unless you’re an fbi agent in Denver trying to do a back flip on the dance floor. Then it’s okay I guess after all-— “FBI”.

I thought all cops off duty still carried.

I love the scene in “Beverly Hills Cop” when Eddie Murphy gets Taggart and Rosewood to go into the strip club with him. Murphy soon figures out that a robbery is being set and stops the whole thing. He tries to give credit to Taggart and Rosewood, but they admit to their boss that they were just hanging out in a strip club while on duty.

Must be a great place to pick up chicks.

so....it was a revenge hit on cops?

Most bars do not allow anyone to carry firearms on the premises, even LEO. Some states have a law against carrying a firearm in a bar as well. So that makes bars a gun free zone like schools, otherwise known as targets.

You don’t know and you have no damn clue.

I can only speak as a right to carry person in SC and what we were taught. Most states allow you to carry into a bar, provided the bar doesn't make itself a gun-free zone. Property rights trump the right to carry onto someone else's property. But the allowable alcohol level is zero. Not a drop. You have any alcohol and your right to carry and all the protections afforded to you are gone. You might as well not have one. If you are licensed (a police officer or civilian) and go to a bar to drink, you wouldn't take your gun. If I had my gun on me and unexpectedly decide to stop, I would separate the gun from the bullets and lock the gun in the trunk. Some of the comments here against the police are just plain ignorant (it was just a few). Especially when one lost his life charging in. Sure, if you are standing next to the guy when he starts to fire, it makes sense to tackle them. But charging a person firing a gun, with no protection, is moronic. I would not expect anyone to do that. They would die, not stop a thing, and just up the body count.

Six LEO’s and not one weapon. WTH is in California’s water?

>> “They were likely unarmed...” <<

This is trully sad!

They should all be terminated.

Sad commentary on the state of affairs today..

I offer my condolences to those senselessly murdered in this and far too many incidents.

But.. We all know ‘Gun Free Zone’ is the way to go, Right?

What can one expect when policies that make no sense exist and are in effect?

What indeed.

6 off duty officers of the law present? Wow.

But..

Prohibited from carrying a weapon other than their martial arts training which is useless in almost every firearms related mass incident.

Prohibited by laws and local politicians and officials and agencies all the way to the top of the heap on Capitol Hill, who ironically have their own CCWs or bodyguards armed and deadly, from providing for the public safety of all.

Ya know, it’s going to be real interesting to find what the back story is on the 6 off duty witnesses.

[dragnet2]

There is LEO/dispatch audio that exists where one cop is telling dispatch the suspect was down and had 3 rounds to his chest...

That don’t sound like self inflicted to me. Unless it just an inaccurate report to dispatch or maybe it wasn’t the actual suspect.

Starting at about 4:00 on the video.
