[kushie18]

May 20, 2023. Police were dispatched to a domestic disturbance call to the residence of James Boyle of Fountain, Colorado. Upon approaching Boyle, he tries to re-enter his home and opens the door leaving the dog to run out and attack Officer Alvarez, which then is shot and killed by Alvarez.

Boyle, is later shot twice in the back by Cpl. Corey and tased numerous times by Alvarez. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The family is now suing over Boyle's death. The complaint that was filed Wednesday names the City of Fountain, Officer Alvarez, and Corporal Corey as the defendants.

Boyle's family is seeking compensation for the following:

• economic loss
• punitive damages
• attorney's fees

Both cops were set on paid-leave after this incident

James Boyle was shot twice in the back after two officers responded to a home on Taos Circle on May 20, 2023, for a domestic disturbance between him and his wife, Shawna. Police said officers were at the home the night before for a similar call involving the couple.

Shawna said her son called the police on May 20 after he overheard his father while on the phone with his mom.

Body camera video shows the son telling an officer that he heard his dad threaten to kill his mom. He also told police his dad, Mr. Boyle, had been on a meth bender and kept guns inside the home. The son said he wanted to get his mom a restraining order.

The 4th Judicial District Attorney's Office ruled last week that the shooting was concerning, but not criminal. Fountain Police said the two officers are still employed with the department.

Shawna said she has two seizure disorders which makes it hard for her to remember the details from that night. However, she said she remembers not wanting the police at their home that night.

In an interview after the shooting, Corporal Corey said he thought if James went back into the home he would get a firearm and kill somebody.

Officer Alvarez said in an interview that he knew James to be anti-law enforcement. He said he did not want the situation to turn into a barricaded suspect, or a hostage situation since Shawna's elderly mother was also inside the home.

Daniel Kay, an attorney for the Boyle family, helped file the federal complaint against the city and the two officers. The complaint said the officers used excessive force and that James should've been allowed back inside the home since officers were there for a civil matter.

“They repeatedly tased Mr. Boyle for upwards of 35 seconds straight and they shot Mr. Boyle in the back when there was no warrant for his arrest, when there was no crime that occurred," said Kay.

The federal complaint is seeking monetary damages and changes in education and training at the Fountain Police Department.


She can thank her son for calling the cops telling his dad is on a meth bender and has guns inside the house.

Wish that dog would've got his face, give him scars to look at & remember the rest of his days.

If you'd watch the video you'd see that the dog did get his face he will have scars for years. Pay attention for you make numb comments.

Meth head beats his wife for multiple days and then lets his dog out to attack the officers and you think they were wrong and shooting him?

[Vincentsdream]

Yes. They shit an unarmed man in the back. They were wrong and it'll cost the city millions. But hey, keep smoking that cop pipe.

Another case of non-compliance straight up. Guy had all the opportunity to comply and chose death instead. Fucking drug heads. Better dead than being another burden on tax payers.

Fun fact, not complying witha cops order is a class 2 misdemeanor and not punishable by death.

He literally opens the gate so the dog will come out. Poetentialy deadly assault on the officer. Absolutely deserved what happened to him.

Nah. Cops just a pussy.
