It seems Gamboa never fired a weapon, he ran as soon as he was shot and tried to blend in with the crowd. I haven't seen or heard anything that implies Gamboa ever shot or aimed his rifle aside from the first reports which were put out by the detectives and 50501, which I don't believe we can't trust.

All the reports say he never fired the AR15. This has cops covering for the "peacekeepers" stank all over it. Long haired brown person with a gun is all they can fixate on to try to cover up their recklessness. The fact that the bystander is actually a minor fashion celeb and non-white will hopefully crack open this bullshit story, but this is in Utah, and it will be a tough blue wall.

Sounds like the DA is figuring it out and thinks that it will be impossible to convict Gamboa, and that they doubt the account of the "Peacekeepers"

If even the DA is saying that, it's likely this is just some rent-a-cop shitheads with an itchy trigger finger trying to get the local cops to cover for them
