Umm, do you remember he “leveled his gun at the officers” and got shot… Willie you need to remember the facts… Point a gun at a cop, you get shot.

Oh and max, you are under informed on this one. Period.

No it was resolved around 5:30 Kym. I don’t know the resolution but police, fire and ambulance have left.

i do live close. i was driving northbound on central at maybe 5:03ish. of the more than 6 EPD cruisers and SUVs on the scene (all but one right up at the intersection with Pearl), none had lights on. given the way that EPD frequently park (i.e., with no regard for traffic patterns), there was no way to know that the SUV with no officers anywhere around, sticking only halfway into the lane, was supposed to be a roadblock. i got 40yds or so into their perimeter before they even noticed.

i’ve lived in other cities. i’ve seen other police departments handle situations. need i remind everyone that nearly half of the city’s budget goes to EPD, due in large part to the excessive insurance premiums brought on by the frequency of brutality and wrongful death settlements? did everyone forget how many people that posed zero threat during a mental health crisis have been killed by EPD, including a woman alone in her apartment by a sniper from across the street? maybe it’s because i come from a military area and as such have seen plenty of cops with combat training, but EPD are recklessly quick to brandish their guns in public when there’s no cause for it.

sorry, but between stuff like this, the frequent instances of APD dropping the ball on things, and Sheriff Antifa Buses, Humboldt law enforcement is amateur hour.

You people really believe that’s what they want to do?
You need to go ask the dude not to point his gun at anyone instead.

I personnally know this man has abused his wife for years. He has serious anger issues. She’s finally had enough, and he cant stand that she wants out. She deserves peace. He needs help.

Every time I see these skinhead thugs with the M-14’s out I want to vomit.

If you get out of control, they will be happy to shoot you to death…

Eureka is a poor choice of places to live, but these bozos make it intolerable.

Eureka. How many citizens will be killed by the EPD today?
