"DENVER (AP) — A police officer who was one of three people killed in a shooting at a suburban Denver shopping district was ambushed by a suspect who expressed hatred toward police, authorities said Tuesday."

Chief Strate on Tuesday identified that man (hero) as John Hurley, 40, of nearby Golden. Without elaborating on what he did, Strate called Hurley a “true hero who likely disrupted what could have been a larger loss of life.” The chief said there was no connection between Hurley and the suspect. Arvada police spokesman Dave Snelling declined to say who shot the suspect, saying that would be something investigated by a team of area law enforcement officers."

An Arvada police officer was shot from ambush by a man who was wanting to kill cops. It was 18 hours to release the killer's identity and now I can find no photos of him online. Looks like things have been scrubbed. Also it looks like a man the chief described as a "true hero" ended the rampage, prevented more widespread carnage, and was killed in the process of putting the mad dog down. Governor Polis just signed a bill yesterday increasing gun restrictions in the state by ending the local preemption law. Not confirmed but it looks like a CCW stopped a mass murder and saved a lot of people. He gave his life in the effort, but the state is too petty to put that hero and his bravery out.

And it looks like the 19 year police officer could not have been a better man. Exactly the kind of man you wish every cop was.

Given that they are not saying who shot him, my immediate thought was a ccw person. They always credit an officer if they shoot a criminal. They never sidestep taking credit for it.

That combined with the officer shot from ambush. And they called the dead citizen a true hero and said he likely prevented a bigger tragedy. There is only one reason to say that.
We aren’t told a thing about why he was a true hero, what act he performed, or any details beyond the name of the murderer. That says it all. That means he wasn’t wearing a MAGA hat.

Prayers up for the murdered policeman and his family.

May his soul rest in peace.
And may Perpetual Light shine upon him.

“What do we want? Dead Cops! When do we want them? Now!” Is that not plain enough? Black youth are being lied to. They are being indoctrinated and saturated with hate. They are being manipulated into killing cops and white people. It’s happening before our very eyes! Killing! There is an evil spirit at work here to precipitate a civil war and mass slaughter. Wake up people!

The murderer did not have one of those trendy Africanized sounding names. 59 years old. I can’t find a photo of him anywhere online. Don’t know if it’s a black killing, or an antifa, radicalized Democrat white guy that killed him. But either way, it’s a safe bet he was not MAGA. The shooting was more than 24 hours ago and it’s still under wraps. They have scrubbed everything online about him.

You bet.
It was good to see all the Patriots with their flags lining the streets of Officer Beesleys funeral procession.

Has anyone besides myself noticed a great increase in shootings in Colorado, some against the police? It would be nice if someone from Colorado could compile a list of them for the year.

It is a shame that the nutcase killer of Arvada, Co. police officer Beasely had gotten that psycho-Marxist shit Gov. Polis instead.

Polis is responsible for the great increase in crime in Colorado. Don’t doubt me!

Along with critical race theory being forced in schools this will be a future regular event including just average white people being hunted while the press covers it up

Yeah, it looks like the criminal was shot by a CCW. In which case, if it’s a justified shoot, the CCW might NOT want his name out there, in case the guy has friends. BLM might even pay a visit if they knew who it was.
