Stop Cop City Domestic Terrorists hosted by City on City Owned Property; Condemnation by Representative Alma Hernandez
Stop Cop City Domestic Terrorists hosted by City on City Owned Property
Over 150 trespassers affiliated with "Stop Cop City" (https://stopcopcitysummit.com/), a national anti-police/anti-Israel domestic terrorist protest group, trespassed onto a city owned vacant parcel near downtown on Friday, 2/23/24. The group occupied the parcel, erected over 50 tents, built cooking facilities, lit bonfires, and extensively graffitied the site with anti-police, anarchist, and Anti- Israel slogans. Multiple surrounding businesses called 911 seeking immediate assistance. TCFC steering leaders received the same call for help and arrived immediately. Due to the size of the group and the potential for escalation, Mayor & Council and city leadership in consultation with TPD decided to surveil but not intervene, frustrating many patrol officers and some within TPD leadership. TCFC requested that TPD request mutual aid from nearby police departments to prepare for a possible escalation and to protect surrounding businesses. That request was denied. The utter lack of inaction by the City led to violence shortly thereafter.
On Sunday evening, 2/25/24, this very same group traveled a mile downtown and vandalized two banks, attempted to set fire to those banks, and caused extensive property damage. TPD spent hours chasing many of the individuals throughout downtown. The group also targeted other businesses throughout Tucson and caused extensive property damage citywide.
The group has advertised the events for months but the City found itself surprised and paralyzed in its response.
3 Suspects were arrested:
A lack of leadership at the city level and complete mismanagement of its own property directly led to havoc, violence, extensive property damage, and fear.
The Mayor and Council and County Attorney Conover lack the basic courage and decency to condemn these radicals and the violence and terror they inflicted on our community this weekend.
We are grateful that elected leaders such as State Representative Alma Hernandez (D) have the courage to call out the obvious: “I am disgusted by the vandalism and hate spreading in my city! I live downtown, and seeing the damage that is caused by individuals who are doing it because they hate Police, Jews & Israel is extremely disturbing. This behavior should not be tolerated and should be condemned in all its forms by ALL elected officials in Tucson. This should be prosecuted as a hate crime. They are NOT peaceful protestors. They are criminals and terrorizing our community absolutely outrageous that their bond was less than $5,500…this is not the Tucson I am proud of.”
We are providing stories and pictures taken of this event as it played out over the weekend culminating with arson, violence and property damage Sunday night.

Its time for another Recall of the ( Queen) Mayor – Plenty of warning – no excuse for this – total incompetence – after they just increased their own salaries…. this is what we get.
Absolutely ridiculous that we are not stopping this at the moment it starts letting violence happen. What do we have police for? Why is everyone afraid to stop these people. If we don’t, they will take us over. This needs to be stopped now.
This is going to be great for business. And great for the downtown area. Wait until all the snowbirds go back and tell their friends that Tucson is a place where Stop the Cops held a “summit”. I’m sure businesses will be fighting for the opportunity to move here. So they can share the streets with Stop the Cops. What a bunch of idiots. What else can you do improve the quality of life here?
Over 100 people were involved in this riot. This acc. to the newspaper. Over 100 people in black, wearing masks, tossing fire agents and a “mortar”(what the hell is this?) into a building where cleaning people were working. Yep. Great place to raise a family and open a business. Why did they decide to have a “summit” in Tucson???? Guess.
Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 13, criminal code:
13-1004. Facilitation; classification
A. A person commits facilitation if, acting with knowledge that another person is committing or intends to commit an offense, the person knowingly provides the other person with means or opportunity for the commission of the offense.
BICAS paid for the Porta Potties. They are a non profit bicycle repair shop close to where the camp was located. Councilwoman Lane Santa Cruz has ties to his Non profit from back in 2013.
Go figure…
How did the Stop the Cop know about this vacant property owned by the City of Tucson where they set up Camp? Dig deep and let’s see where the funding came from.
