BREAKING: It is with a heavy heart that I release the following thread.

Tonight, I received video from the Colorado First Judicial District Attorney’s Office that shows the death of Arvada hero Johnny Hurley.

This thread shows death/violence. Viewer discretion advised.
The released version of this previously abridged angle shows Ronald Troyke murder officer Gordon Beesley from behind at 25 seconds in.

Johnny Hurley engages Ronald Troyke at 1 minute 25 seconds in, killing him.

Johnny goes to Troyke's body, and then off screen.

(CW: Violence)
The Colorado First Judicial District Attorney’s Office also provided a video showing Johnny's response to the mass shooter all the way from his time inside the Army Surplus store to him shooting the mass shooter through multiple angles.

(Warning: Violence/death)
The DA's office also provided a 15 minute video looking east onto Arvada Square from the west side.

Johnny shoots the mass shooter at 24 seconds into this clip, and he is shot by police (the round entered buttock, per autopsy) at 1:03.

(Warning: Violence/death)
I was also provided with bodycamera footage from two officers.

One is vertical. I do not know whether it was shot like that or cropped by the DA.

Radio dispatch says: "two suspects with guns, one handgun, one AR-15."

This would refer to hero Hurley and murderer Troyke.
The responding officer wielding a rifle approaches Johnny, who is seemingly cropped off screen by the DA.

He kicks what appears to be murderer Ronald Troyke's AR-15 away from Johnny.

It appears Johnny had taken the rifle from Troyke to this cover position before being shot.
The responding officers continue to check the area around Arvada Square, and detain an apparent witness.

They then clear Troyke's weapon.
The DA also delivered to me footage from a second responding officer with a bodycam, who arrives a few minutes after the other with a bodycam (these are the only two provided).

Johnny can be seen on a stretcher (blurred by DA) at 1:30.
The District Attorney also provided me with a 1000+ page discovery report.

I have placed a copy here, where the public can see it in its entirety.

All redactions etc by DA, obviously, not by me.

I have the full, 100+ minutes of footage delivered to me by the Colorado First Judicial District Attorney’s Office uploading here.

I have preemptively marked it 18+, so you will need to sign in to view it.

"Is that one of the suspects?"

"Maybe, or a Good Samaritan..."

Exchange by police officers a little over ten minutes after shooting of Johnny Hurley, indeed the "Good Samaritan" who killed the mass shooter.

Documentary video thread: The New York Young Republican Club led a vigil for Charlie Kirk Friday night in New York City.

Bishop Nektarios of Diokleia led mourners in prayer: "May the God of all consolation embrace his wife and children with tender mercy and grant them strength in this hour of sorrow."

"That bullet did not kill Charlie Kirk. It made him immortal forever, a martyr in our movement!" said NYYRC President Stefano L. Forte. "We are all Charlie Kirk Now!"
2) "In Charlie Kirk's memory, let's make sure we keep free speech alive!" said Republican Mayoral candidate Curtis Silva. "Let it not be in vain!"
3) "He honestly was one of the reasons that I actually woke up and learned how to think for myself," one mourner says of Charlie Kirk.

Others praised Kirk primarily for his dialogues with college students.

Just now: Activists demanding Trump’s impeachment and release of Epstein files enter Marjorie Taylor Greene’s office along with journalist Don Lemon.

They are told to leave, door slammed behind them, and a Capitol officer arrived to tell them to lower the volume, but no arrests.
2) Activists entered office of Rep. Joaquin Castro to demand he files articles of impeachment on President Trump. @JessicaDenson07 tells him not to wait until midterms.

Journalist Don Lemon complimented office staff for being polite and offering water, unlike Greene's office.
3) Anti-Trump activists slide flyers showing President Trump with Jeffrey Epstein under the door of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's office.

4K VIDEO THREAD: Federal agents, many wearing masks, oversaw a vehicle checkpoint in the Ivy City neighborhood of Washington DC, part of President Trump's federal takeover of law enforcement functions in the capital city.

Drivers were directed to either carry on or move into one of two lanes where they'd be detained. Several were issues citations for infractions like window tint, while at least four were handcuffed, of which at least three were taken away by police.

Washington DC's MPD officers performed most of the frontline enforcement, while the feds oversaw the operation, assisted, and communicated by phone.
2) "Unconstitutional, go fuck yourselves," a driver yelled after being allowed through the checkpoint without being pulled over.

"Get him, he's on his phone!" fruitlessly yelled an MPD officer in response.

"You lost him!" I noted to the cop, who replied "that was a good one."
3) An unmarked vehicle was pulled into the line for those detained for further investigation.

When it turned out there was a uniformed police officer in the car, he was promptly let through.

Some other drivers were removed from their cars and put in handcuffs. The reasons for most arrests were not immediately clear to onlookers.

THREAD: The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force has arrested Peter Stinson, accusing him of threatening to assassinate Trump.

Stinson is a veteran and founder of "May Day on the Mall," which Rep Eric Swalwell spoke to just two days ago. Image

2) The FBI is clearly well aware of Stinson's leadership role in the Mayday Protest Movement, which they point out in page 4 of their indictment.

The timing, this arrest occurring right after Swalwell addressed the group, is uncanny.

Image
3) The posts Stinson allegedly wrote that the FBI say constituted criminal threats against President Trump go all the way back to 2020, and continue on X (then Twitter) until 2022. Image

VIDEO THREAD: Police in Los Angeles pushed heavily using less-lethal munitions to break up "No Kings" and anti-ICE demonstrators in the downtown area.

Officers declared an unlawful assembly and tear gassed the crowd.

Video in thread contributed by Neil Radimaker for @N2Sreports
2) Police made arrests and advanced against the crowd in a line of mounted horses ahead of gassing the crowd again.
3) Protesters and press retreated from blooms of tear gas and poured liquids on their face in an attempt to recover.

(News2Share contributor Neil Radimaker reported vomiting.)

Protesters in the distance could be seen within the plume of gas with their hands up.

VIDEO THREAD: Anti-ICE protesters gathered again outside the loading bay of a federal building in downtown LA on Thursday evening, where police declared an unlawful assembly.

Officers pushed into the crowd, firing a less lethal round and arresting at least one person.
2) A man (not clear to me which agency) pointed a scoped rifle directly into the crowd of protesters and press as police threatened arrest.

The activists celebrated a small victory as a judge temporarily enjoined the National Guard from being deployed at Trump's directive without California's executive approval, a decision which has since been overturned.

Some activists, but one in particular, vehemently instructed the crowd to obey the order to leave, which ultimately fragmented the crowd.
3) A handful of protesters ended up inside of a kettle formation, which closed in on and arrested them.

Two vehicles adorned with pro-immigrant and pro-Palestine symbols were also towed from inside the kettle.
