12/2/21 Ford Fischer on the New Details Surrounding Johnny Hurley’s Tragic Death

Scott is joined by journalist and primary source documentarian Ford Fischer to discuss the recently released footage of Johnny Hurley’s death at the hands of an Arvada police officer. Fischer made a short documentary about the tragedy shortly after it occurred this past summer. Hurley heroically gunned down a man who had just begun what was clearly an attempted killing spree. By doing so, Hurley likely saved numerous lives, but he was tragically killed moments later when police arrived on the scene. Fischer explains what this recently released surveillance and bodycam footage reveals about Johnny Hurley’s last act.
