Criminal charges possible against TV station that hired shooter as guard 'For permitting or directing an unlicensed person to perform security services'

The fatal shooting in Denver of Lee Keltner, 49, during a clash between competing rallies over the weekend is just one of many in recent months amid Black Lives Matter protests since the death of George Floyd.

But the shooting of Keltner may have a longer reach than others since he had been hired by a Denver television station, KUSA-TV, to act as a security guard for reporters at the events.

The Denver City Attorney's office said that when the homicide investigation is concluded, the case might not be over.

"Licensed security guard employers that hire unlicensed security guards could face disciplinary actions against their licenses ranging from a fine, to suspension, to revocation," the statement said. "Businesses could also face criminal charges for permitting or directing an unlicensed person to perform security services."

(NO search results of this aspect.) If the affiliate station is responsible for securing persons to act as security, then they bear responsibility for the actions as well.

Worse yet, the newscaster and his guard/accomplices appear to have been intentionally provoking fights due to bias/profit/fake news

The family will sue the bejeezus out of NBC. They will win. It will cost NBC millions - maybe tens of millions.

Criminal negligence on the part of whatever security company for sure.
The civil side is going to be a blood bath for sure.

I assume they’re saying that the TV station could be severely punished.

Waiting to see if any connections arise between this and the forthcoming Project Veritas video.

The PV tease makes this association seem possible.

I suppose the laws in Minnesota are different but was George Floyd licensed when he worked as a security guard?

Couldn't happen to a more deserving station. KUSA has been a far-Left, Antifa-supporting "news" outlet for a long time. I've heard rumors that the shooter was hired to provoke confrontation, which the station could then film and show on their "news." I hope we discover if that's true.

Remember, per Denver Post Photographer, Helen Richardson, who accompanied BLM trash Agitator - the most important thing is that no one “speculate” and leave it to Denver Authorities.

It’s not the loss of life, the importance is that we don’t speculate!

The news media hires antifa thugs to perform security. This reminds me of the Rolling Stones hired the Hells Angels to provide security at their concert at Altamont CA back about 1973. What could go wrong? Yep, the “security guards” stabbed to death some guy who they said got too close to the stage. It was on film.

Read the excerpt. It says Keltner (dead guy) was hired as security.

Huh?

It's simple. Some shootings have a short reach and some have a long reach. The length of the reach for this particular shooting is not yet known, because of the details of the hiring of a security guard. See?
