Boulder’s police chief on Tuesday described the King Soopers shooting as “personal” — recalling how she had just seen slain officer Eric Talley‘s family for an award ceremony a few weeks ago.
“I live three blocks up the street from that store,” Chief Maris Herold told reporters Tuesday, her voice trembling. “You’re worried about your neighbors, you’re worried about your partner, you’re worried about everything when you get that call. So, yeah, I feel numb.”
Veteran Boulder cop Talley, 51, was killed after arriving first on scene.
“This officer has seven children, ages 5 to 18,” she said. “I just had that officer’s whole family in my office two weeks ago to give him an award. So it’s personal. This is my community, I live here.”
The Boulder Police Department recently presented one of Talley’s sons with an award for saving the life of his sibling, who was choking on a quarter.
This is very sad and something else that is uncalled for is this turd had been in the system. These types need to be on their radar, not put on the back burner. The fbi dropped the ball again. They use to be highly respected. I’m not saying anyone could read this turds mind and been waiting for him. But if he was common enough to have had contact with authorities in the past, they could keep a closer eye on the subject.
Another Muslim attacking white people. He will more than likely get another free pass.
Rest In Peace, Officer Talley and the other 9 “white people.”
bet some deep checking he was used for what he did. Democrats need mass shootings now so they can push their gun laws
