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.

https://twitter.com/FordFischer/status/1418566524604977152

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.

Just now: Attendees of Vice President Kamala Harris’s rally at the Ellipse resort to climbing over the “scale proof” fences surrounding the event after exit gates were closed, apparently due to pro-Palestine protesters on the other side.

2) "Push it down!"

During some of the confusion as police wouldn't allow people to leave the Harris Ellipse speech, some pushed over a small plastic fence that divided them from other people also trying to exit.

It didn't make a difference.

3) "You say it's open but where's it open?" crowds frustrated attempted to confront police as they had difficulty leaving the Harris rally.

"No! No! No!" a cop said as a man jumped, leaving a woman with him behind, who would have had to find a not-closed gate.

Meanwhile, police attempted to confine the pro-Palestine protests outside.

VIDEO THREAD: Tonight, police and protesters clashed outside the presidential debate in Philly.

I want to detail how that happened.

All was at peace until one person lit a flare, waving it around for the cameras.

Police pushed in in force, arresting him and angering the crowd.

2) A handful of frustrated protesters linked arms and pushed into a line of bike cops, mimicking them by shouting "move!"

"CPD, KKK, IOF you're all the same!" they chanted as a shoving match ensued.

Additional police arrived in riot gear and the scuffle spread and intensified.

3) With police assembling in riot gear including shields now, the remaining pro-Palestine protesters called to "disperse!"

Officers ended up facing off with a mostly empty street consisting of a handful of stragglers as well as remaining news cameras.

VIDEO THREAD: "Queers love Palestine! HRC loves the war machine!"

Protesters rallied against the Human Rights Campaign dinner tonight featuring Tim Walz in DC to condemn their relationship with weapons manufacturers, which they say enable genocide.

"We're not interupting!" they chanted. "Pink washing is disgusting!"

2) Protesters put red paint on their hands to symbolize what they say is the Human Rights Campaign's support for the killing of Palestinians.

"HRC is using our name to pinkwash an administration committing genocide, burning children under rubble but those children are not human enough for the Human Rights campaign, shame!"

3) "We are here, we are queer! Zionists not welcome here!"

Protesters banged on the windows overlooking the escalator and lobby that HRC guests went through to get to the gala with Tim Walz.

Police stepped in, forcing them away from the glass.

This is my 4K footage of how the violence outside the United States Capitol began today.

You can see the first mace deployed (over the heads of officers, toward the activists) which angers the pro-Palestine crowd, who begins throwing water bottles as officers continue using mace.

A little over a minute into the clip is a flash grenade, one of only a couple I saw used today.

My understanding is this occurred after Netanyahu arrived but before he spoke to Congress.

2) As police engaged the crowd, a man scolded police and was maced as well.

The crowd continued marching, taking a wider route around the Capitol and avoiding most confrontations during the march itself.

3) "Smack Netanyahu in the head with that billy club!"

Activists continued a wide march around the United States Capitol from the West side to the East side clockwise.

Some pro-Israel, anti-Netanyahu activists stood along the path and were mostly ignored. Police blocked off streets heading close to the Capitol complex.

VIDEO THREAD: Protesters gathered Tuesday night in front of the Watergate Hotel (the second night in a row) for a noise demonstration against Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, who is staying inside.

"From DC to Palestine, Netanyahu's out of time!" chanted protesters using red and green smoke bombs. "Shut, shut, shut it down, no Zionism in this town!"

2) "Allahu Akbar! Hamas!" yelled one man through the fencer outside the Watergate at Israel supporters counter-protesting them from inside.

"Jewish motherf***ers!" he yelled. "We're gonna kill all of you!"

"We're gonna burn you!"

It should be noted that it was one lone individual, not the wider protest, using this specific rhetoric.

3) One man dawning an Israeli flag confronted the pro-Palestine protesters directly outside the Watergate.

"You're a coward, you should join the IDF and kill kids yourself, because you're a p***y," he was told.

The man says he's from Jerusalem, but he donates, rather than being in the IDF.

VIDEO THREAD: Police clashed with pro-Palestine protesters Friday night in New York City as President Biden visited Stonewall for an "LGBTQ+ Gala" and protesters demanded "No war criminals at pride!"

All video in thread by @olgafe_images for @N2Sreports

2) NYPD's Strategic Response Group forcefully pushed back pro-Palestine activists and made several arrests throughout the evening both attempting to keep protesters away from the event featuring President Biden and off of the streets.

3) Pro-Palestine protesters trying to reach the Biden event ran through the James A. Farley Building, but encountered both police and Israel supporters when they exited.
