Can’t believe this is happening from right across the street from the police dept.

Welcome to Fitchburg😂

@@spydaman2022 I know, right? I've lived in the dirty burg almost my entire life and no matter how many gdamn rotaries they put in, it can't chase away the gangs, the hookers or the homeless. It gets worse every year.

@@777Thibs they have to live and loiter somewhere. The burg is ridiculously expensive right now like everywhere else but it's still one of the cheapest areas so even more are showing up daily

[@JohnDoeDeadhead420]

I'd be even more surprised if it didn't happen across from fitchburg pd considering how bad that area is

[@danjohnston9037]

So if you're a cop in Fitchburg the crime comes to you ?

[@olivia4178]

[@spydaman2022]

Bro I live right down the street from this… I don't even know what the hell happened

Frankie has a go fund me page to build a memorial at the park. HERO.

[@jeffreyroy7623]

The first few rounds are probably non lethal rounds from a shotgun to break the windows and screen. Then he swaps out for what looks like a paintball gun and and hammers in pepper balls. It's not really clear but you can make out the hopper after the swap out

Definitely hard to tell without sound. You can tell easily by listening as you did tho.

[@perpetualnegativity9862]

Only in Filthburg. Yes, I am well familiar with the city as I live near it

Why what happened?

[@j_rico9115]

Drug raid gone wrong and he shot a K-9.

[@jessicalefrancois6762]

Bitchfurg...how convenient for Bitchfurg SWAT, so handy to the station...Only in Bitchfurg...

Watch how you talk about the burg bro… Come around here saying that will get your ass taken out… I know I live there

@@spydaman2022 I went to college there, "Bitchfurg" is mild compared to some of the Burg's sobriquets!

@@missharleyquinn6620 I live 2 towns away, and will till I die, sure the furg is Tough, why do you think me clueless? It's still Bitchfurg. They loved a boulder, so they blew it up, put it back together with some mortar in a place easier to get to. And there the Rollstone Boulder sits. Perhaps you might join me at "The Boulder" for a beer, and we can discuss such things civilly.

@@bellakaldera3305 I’ll be honest Fitchburg isn’t the greatest but don’t trash on my town I’ve lived here my entire life and btw the boulder stuff happened like 50 years ago so why is that important? Plus the space where the boulder was now gets painted by the senior class every year it’s a part of our history
