all MAGAots these days.......AND NEWLY EMBOLDENED I MIGHT SAY............

Interesting that Denver Police have told the public that their officers will no longer issue traffic tickets for run of the mill offenses, but only for major traffic offenses, because they are busy enough fighting REAL CRIME. Although Crimes are being FACTUALLY reported to be much lower than in previous years.......
Trump and RepubliCON politicians are constantly telling us crimes are Way Way up, in spite of the factual statistics. They must be talking about crimes like: Walking While Black, Driving While Mexican, "Looking"Suspicious, Not able to produce a Passport and certified birth certificate when out in public or driving, etc etc etc OR..... come to think of it, the humongous increase in felonies for white collar crimes, AND Trump's and his spawns crimes, for instance, like .......selling TOP SECRET MILITARY INTELLIGENCE TO ENEMY GOVERNMENTS......or grifting ALL of the PPE in the country stockpiles, or coming into the country to supply to RED states at an enormous/ludicrous profit.......

Gotta snap them cuffs on an 11 year old girl. There’s multiple cops, all with (weeks, cough) of training, decked out like GI Joe, each with multiple weapons, because they “didn’t know who they were dealing with.” I guess we’re to be thankful they didn’t also force her to sit on the curb like a dog after they cuffed her.

And when they find out they were wrong it’s “no harm, no foul.” Yeah, to the cops. They not only knew they would face no consequences the sheriff praised their “good police work.” If what they did comports with their training and policies, then the training and policies need to be changed.

Aurora Colorado Police Officers, were recklessly mistaken, and pulled over a car with a black mother and her five black children, (ages4-12) and made them all lie down, face first on the hot summer asphalt. The cops had mistaken her license plate number for that of a wanted serious criminal, who was known to be a WHITE MALE.

The City councils of Aurora, Denver, Loveland etc have paid out hundreds of millions in law suits these recent years, due to their cops actions.
The most egregious is when Aurora Cops and their paramedics literally EUTHANIZED a black kid who was just innocently walking down the street and the Aurora cops deemed him "suspicious" enough to handcuff him, and while he was lying there, gave him an OD of a Serious Sedative rarely EVER used.........that one cost them TENS of millions. Several of the cop/paramedics were convicted of murder, but their sentences are slowly being overturned in courts.

Not all the cops are as disgusting as many, but if you are a minority in the front range here, it can be troublesome......
