17. And the racist cops

even here in Denver and Aurora are some of the worst racists in the nation.......

Over the past ten years, the Denver City Council and Aurora City Council have each paid out Tens of Millions for police brutality towards the blacks...........Aurora is actually the worst........Two Aurora Cops and Two Aurora Paramedics have been charged for literally EUTHANIZING a young black who was just walking down the street. That settlement alone was into the tens of millions of dollars..................... Two of the Paramedics were given jail/prison sentences for murder, but are trying to appeal their conviction and get out of any punishment......Not sure what happened to the two cops who were complicit, one of them put the kid in a choke hold until he passed out.....Aurora has had 5 mayors in the past 4 years. They take the job, look around, and quit.......

Totally nauseating.....We have gone backwards 50-60 years............
