Denver police injure 5 bystanders in LoDo while shooting man who allegedly pointed gun at officers

[titsonritz]

Denver police shoot bad guys and five bystanders . I'm thinking we need something in sort of in between the Denver cops and the Uvalde Cops.

Denver police injured five bystanders when they opened fire in the busy Lower Downtown nightlife district as bars closed early Sunday, shooting a man they allege pointed a gun at officers.

Those bystanders — three women and two men — were either shot by police or injured with shrapnel from the officers' bullets, Denver police said in a news release Sunday afternoon. All five are expected to survive.

The man police say pointed a gun at officers, 21-year-old Jordan Waddy, is also expected to survive his injuries. Waddy did not fire the gun, according to the news release. Police arrested him on suspicion of felony menacing and possession of a weapon by a previous offender.

Waddy and one female victim remained hospitalized Sunday evening in stable condition, police spokesman Doug Schepman said. The other four people were released.

Didin't the NY cops manage to injure 9 people shooting at a guy that ended up getting away a few years back?

Cops (in general) have qualified immunity, now if one of us "civilian dirt-bags" had done the same thing under the exact circumstance… we'd be locked up and skewered by the MSM.

LoDo. I know that area well. Packed with bars and restaurants. Not a good place to discharge a firearm.

No sir, he hit his mark…

Seems like a wonderful place to discharge a firearm to me! No need to aim... just pull the trigger and you're going to get a hit on someone.

Yeah, not really something I feel like joking about... YMMV.

Well, citizens have a far better hit ratio.

Watching the police shootouts on the ActiveSelfProtection channel, I see numerous rounds tossed blindly - even shots through patrol car windshields from the inside - thus I have assumed that rounds down range have replaced verbal commands. Or aiming. Or common sense.

Even worse, SF PD killed a girl hiding in a store's dressing room to take out a guy who was swinging a bicycle U-lock. AYKM? Embarrassing. Fatal. Costly.

 

[Ruger Rich]

Theses guys are gonna be sent to the Uvalde Police Dept

This is what happens when you want to defund the police, tie their hands and mass experience walks off the job!

You get untrained field rookies who shoot at anything and everything!

Can't say that's what happened but, wouldn't surprise me!

Whatever.

Yep, in 2015.
