51. Sounds like the DPD

in Denver during the BLM demonstrations......The Denver City Council paid out millions and millions in settlements for Police Brutality.
The DPD was shooting the rubber bullets directly at people, not at the ground in front of them as told in the manufacturers directions of allowable uses. Many got hit in the torso some in the face.
The metal tear gas grenades that are launched from a gun that are supposed to be shot way up in the air, and come down in the crowd? A DPD officer shot one directly at a persons FACE........Fracturing his facial bones and causing him to lose an eye......
There are many good cops on the DPD......and some not.
Both Denver City Council and Aurora City Council have paid out tens of millions for settlements of Police Brutality. In one case in Aurora, Aurora PD and Paramedics literally euthanized a young black guy, who was just walking down the street with his can of pop. Two? APD and Two? Aurora Paramedics were charged with Felonies, but I believe only two received prison sentences.......
The Colorado State Patrol who were at the Denver BLM, saw what the Denver Cops were doing, and got between the DPD and the protestors, turned their backs to the DPD attempting to shield the people, and told the Demonstrators to run.
The Colorado State Patrol officers are at a whole higher level above the City LEO's
