this sucks, poor guy.
ReplyDeleteLesson learned, dont ram a Commerce City Police car.
ReplyDeleteIf he was under surveillance, how come the cops didn't disable his car?
ReplyDeletejez, I guess you shouldn't try and hurt the police by running into them with a car
ReplyDeleteThis guy was my brother, and ***** you people, do you honestly think that everything the cops say is the truth? Have you heard from any of the witnesses? Maybe you should keep your fuckin comments to yourself
ReplyDeletePhil was assassinated. The original report said they watched him from 6pm on. Why wait till midnight? I guess the darkness hides the truth? Why not shoot tear gas into the place and smoke him out? Why was he considered armed and dangerous? Where did that information come from? Why were the trailers surrounding him shot up? He was my little brother. He is loved. Why didn't anyone show up at my door to tell me? How do I make my 13 year old son understand that his "uncle Phil" was killed by the people who are trained to protect. He still cries himself to sleep at night. There were other ways to go about the whole process, again...it was an assassination.
