I'm wondering, was suspected shooter Matthew Robert Dolloff ever employed by Pinkerton, or even a legal security guard? Did 9news just pick some guy for security guard duty?

The Pinkerton security guard bit about Matt Doloff comes off super sketchy too. A professional security guard who instigates a fight, doesn't carry with one in the chamber, has far left views, and doesn't show up on Denver's Active Security Guard Licenses (Updated 10/11/2020)

City Of Denver: Matthew Dolloff Not Licensed To Be A Security Guard By Danielle Chavira October 11, 2020 at 4:56 pm

The Denver Department of Excise and Licenses tells CBS4’s Andrea Flores Dolloff was not licensed to be a security guard in the city.

“If he was operating as a security guard, he was in violation of the law,” said Eric Escudero, a department spokesman, stated. “Security guards are prohibited from carrying or using a firearm without getting an armed firearm endorsement for their license. All security guards in Denver are required to get a federal background check before they receive their license.”

Escudero also shared Denver is one of three cities in Colorado where security guards are required to have a license to operate, and there is requirement to have a license in the state.

Victim, security guard suspect in fatal shooting during Denver protests are identified Son IDs Lee Keltner as victim; suspect Matthew Dolloff was working as private security for 9News

Matthew Robert Dolloff remained in jail Sunday without bond on suspicion of first-degree murder in the shooting, jail records show. Dolloff was working as a private security guard for Denver television station 9News when the shooting occurred, the television station has said.

While Pinkerton had an active license to employ security guards in Denver, officials have no record that Dolloff had the required city license to work as a private security guard, said Eric Escudero, spokesman for the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses.

“We do not currently have an active license and have never had an active license for anybody with that name,” he said. “If he was operating as a security guard, he was in violation of the law.”

The cities of Denver, Colorado Springs and Glendale require private security guards to obtain city-issued licenses, though there are no statewide license requirements. Denver’s licensing process requires guards to complete 16 hours of training by an “eligible training provider” before working in the city. Further training is required before a guard can carry a firearm during work or dress in plainclothes.

"Dolloff was contracted through Pinkerton by 9NEWS."?

Security guard arrested on suspicion of first degree murder after fatal shooting near dueling Denver rallies Matthew Dolloff, 30, is being held at the Downtown Detention Center. Author : KUSA Staff, Jennifer Campbell-Hicks Published: 4:11 PM MDT October 10, 2020 Updated: 11:56 AM MDT October 11, 2020

DENVER — A private security guard is being held as a suspect in a deadly shooting near the Denver Art Museum, according to the Denver Police Department (DPD).

Dolloff was contracted through Pinkerton by 9NEWS. It has been the practice of 9NEWS for a number of months to contract private security to accompany staff at protests.

The Denver Communists, one of the organizations sponsoring the Soup Drive, posted Friday on Facebook: "We feel it is our responsibility to vocally oppose fascists every time the try to assemble. And we hope you feel the same way! And what are our options? To cede our streets to them?"

"Professional liars"?

Regarding the shooting in Denver, @charliekirk11 and other far-right hate-mongers continue spreading the falsehood that the shooter was "antifa"—when the news station that hired the Pinkerton security guard who pulled the trigger reported the truth hours ago. Professional liars.

Fantastic @IdavoxOPP article from @DLamontJenkins on the Pinkerton security for 9News who shot a far-right protester in Denver. The far-right in Denver has been targeting the media for years, which has created the need for security at rallies.

Prominent right-wing nitwits like Charlie Kirk and Andy Ngo want you to think the #denvershooting suspect was Antifa. He wasn't. It was Pinkerton security. Those clowns with large followings need to stop spreading the bullshit or @Twitter needs to stop them.

The NY Post identified the man shot by the Pinkerton security guard in Denver as Lee Keltner. They did not mention his history of violence, but @COSAntiFascists has the goods.

The man shot and killed after attacking a security guard in Denver after is named Lee. Here he is attacking a BLM marcher while holding a box of stolen donuts in Berthoud in August while the @LarimerSheriff watched.

Anyone referring to Andy Ngô as a "journalist" glosses over the way his blatantly far-right misinformation legitimately endangers people's lives. He inspires violence. The accused shooter is a Pinkerton security guard contracted by 9NEWS - not a protester.

Has Andy retracted or is he gonna just decide to start calling Pinkerton an ANTIFA organization?

Security guard contracted by 9NEWS was arrested following the shooting death of a far-Right Trump supporter in Denver after police dispersed Patriot rally + an antifascist counter-protest. Far-Right grifters online falsely claimed that 'Antifa' was behind the shooting. A thread.
