“It was a blast creating that character,” White-Lindstrom said.

But the best part, the now 12-yearold said, was getting to show it off at Pop Culture Classroom’s 2018 Denver Pop Culture Con.

In the days after protests against racial injustice and police brutality first broke out in Denver on May 28, the Denver Police Department called in backup from a dozen metro-area law enforcement agencies, each bringing their own equipment, tactics and use-of-force regulations.

City police departments and county sheriff ’s offices in Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson, Adams and Broomfield counties assisted in Denver.

As police and protesters clashed, with some protesters vandalizing or destroying property or throwing objects at police, officers deployed a variety of crowd-control methods, including firing “less-lethal munitions” at protesters, and deploying tear gas and flash-bang devices.

How Denver police oversaw and coordinated the response and crowd-control methods of officers from numerous agencies is difficult to determine -- the department did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Colorado Community Media.

But in a rebuke of police tactics, federal District Court Judge R. Brooke Jackson issued a temporary

Denver school board votes to phase police out of schools

BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Police officers will be phased out of working in Denver’s public schools over the next year, with all school resource officers gone from middle and high schools by June 2021.

The Denver school board voted unanimously June 11 to end Denver Public Schools’ contract with the Denver Police Department to provide school resource officers.

The vote comes after weeks of local and nationwide protests against racist policing sparked by the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man killed by a white police officer in Minneapolis.

“What we saw in our streets was a reaction to what we will no longer tolerate,” said board Vice President Jennifer Bacon, who drafted the resolution to end the police contract along with board member Tay Anderson.

“This topic is not new or knee-jerk.”

The vote represents a victory for community activists who have pressed the district for more than a decade to remove sworn officers from campus because of the higher rate at which students of color are referred to law enforcement.

Denver Public Schools’ $720,000 contract with Denver police provided the district with 18 school resource officers this past school year. The district also has its own force of more than 100

and community members who support removing police from schools and those who don’t.

Derek Hawkins, a dean at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Early College, said

the process to remove police — which went from a public announcement to a vote in six days — was rushed. He and others said school resource officers are role models for students.

“Some have made it seem the SROs are wearing helmets and riot gear, coming to our schools to issue tickets,” Hawkins said. “I see something different.”

TaNesha Carter, who graduated from the former Montbello High School in 2012, said she had a positive relationship with the officer at her school.

“Officer Henry was not like a police officer in our eyes as students,” Carter said. “He was there to protect us. Even when there were situations where students needed to go to jail, he was there to mentor them through that process.”

Others spoke about negative encounters with police at school. Graduate Tiera Brown said being referred to law enforcement as a 13-year-old middle schooler was traumatizing.

Priscilla Sandoval said her teenage son was repeatedly searched by police who found nothing.

Eloisa Palacio said her 10-year-old son, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ended up in court after contact with police at school. The court dismissed his case, she said.

“Students need support, not to be treated as criminal,” Palacio said.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidates John Hickenlooper, left, and Andrew Romanoff participate in a televised debate on June 11.

COURTESY OF CBS4 DENVER

Hickenlooper pressed on ethics in feisty Senate debate with Romanoff

BY ERNEST LUNING COLORADO POLITICS

The two Democrats competing in Colorado’s June 30 primary to take on Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner met on a virtual debate stage June 10 as ballots were arriving in voters’ mailboxes.

The feisty, hour-long debate between former Gov. John Hickenlooper and former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff focused on the same issues that have dominated the Democratic primary — health care, climate change, how to grow an equitable economy and which candidate is best suited to challenge Gardner — as well as topics that have taken center stage in recent weeks, including police accountability, structural racism and criminal justice reform.

Hickenlooper also faced persistent questioning from one of the debate’s panelists over last week’s ruling by the state’s Independent Ethics Commission that he violated state law by accepting a ride on a private jet and fancy dinners while on trips to promote the state when he was governor.

The debate, sponsored by KCNCCBS4 Denver, the Colorado Sun and KBDI-PBS12, was held via videoconference, with Hickenlooper beaming in from his Denver home on a sometimes halting internet connection and Romanoff speaking in front of a wall of yard signs at his campaign office.

It was the second of three scheduled debates between the candidates ahead of primary election day, June 30.

“You have a choice in this race between timidity and bold leadership,” said Romanoff, who repeatedly

Black Love Mural Festival showcases art at Civic Center Park Artists will be paid with help from Denver Parks and Recreation

BY ESTEBAN L. HERNANDEZ DENVERITE

While people marched and chanted loudly behind him on June 11, artist Kierre Dawkins quietly worked on something just as deafening.

Dawkins’ hands were stained with paint as he worked on a large mural on plywood panels surrounding the base of a statute at Denver’s Civic Center Park. Dawkins, who is originally from Mississippi but has called Denver home for the last two years, filled his large mural with pop culture and political imagery.

The mural depicts a black child, framed off-center, appearing concerned, or poised, or perhaps even annoyed, while looking into the distance.

The mural’s black background had red paint dripping down from the top, giving the illusion of dripping blood.

“It kind of shows what it’s like to be a black child in America,” Dawkins said.

His artwork and that of other local black artists will be displayed at Civic Center Park as part of the Black Love Mural Festival.

The festival was created by Robert

Artist Kierre Dawkins works on a mural depicting the experience of young black men in the United States, in Denver’s Civic Center Park on June 11.

PHOTO BY HART VAN DENBURG/CPR NEWS Gray, creative director at the Denverbased Rob The Art Museum. Gray called the all-black mural festival the first of its kind.

“What we’re doing is giving artists different ways to express themselves in a creative way, and really spread the peace and positivity of the Black Lives Matter movement,” Gray said.

He said anytime would have been a good time to put this project together,

but he acknowledges it coincides with a moment where the Black Lives Matter movement has been elevated into daily conversations across the country and thousands of people are demonstrating against racism and police violence.

Annie Phillips helped organize the event. She said it was important for people to have healthy outlets for expression. Gray emphasized that black

artists should always be given ways to express themselves, not just “when a black man gets killed.”

Gray said every artist involved will be paid. Scott Gilmore, deputy manager of Denver Parks and Recreation, worked with organizers to put the event together. Gilmore said the parks department is providing $9,500 for artists and materials.

“These are the type of things we need to do to fill our cities,” Gilmore said.

He said he wanted to work with local artists to try and support their message while trying to discourage additional tagging in the park. He noted the tagging was severe during the first few nights of protests but has since subsided. Gilmore said it will cost about $80,000 to $100,000 to remove graffiti at Civic Center Park.

Gray and Phillips are encouraging people to donate to the event’s GoFundMe page to help pay participating artists additional funds. Gray said the entire event was put together in roughly 48 hours. The artwork will be on display through June 30.

“We’re doing what we can,” Gray said. “We’re doing what we can to empower black voices. We’re super proud to bring this together.”

Navigating the Road to Financial Stability

by Matt Witt

A

ccording to a recent survey of seniors, 80% were concerned about their ability to age-inplace due to the cost. 60% have less than $10,000 in savings (including investments and retirement plans), and debt among seniors has never been higher. Nearly 50% of homeowners ages 65–79 carry a mortgage.

In addition, seniors are living longer than previous generations. All this adds up to a tough reality, funding longevity is hard. However, with a tool like a reverse mortgage, you can be one the road to financial stability.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity. A reverse mortgage can be used to eliminate your monthly mortgage payment* if you have one, which can be a real burden if you’re on a fixed income.

Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage in place, aging-in-place is possible! Call me today at 720-458-4034 to see if a reverse mortgage is right for you.

Residents are finding creative ways to date during the pandemic

T

ownsend Wenzler of Arvada is just getting used to his new home.

Wenzler, 23, moved out to Colorado from Arkansas last August, and he came only knowing some family members and friends who live in the state.

And as COVID-19 closed social places where Wenzler would go to look to find people to date, he and other residents throughout the Denver metro area turned to dating apps like Hinge, Bumble and Tinder to meet other people.

“I don’t think it’s anything crazy, it’s just how it is, and young people are young and dumb and going insane and just wanting to branch out and meet each other. It’s impossible without the bars, so thank God for dating apps,” said Wenzler.

profiles to see who is interested in them, have seen an uptick in use.

BBC reported that on March 29, Tinder users made 3 billion swipes worldwide — a record for the app.

Other apps like Bumble reported that it saw a 16% increase in messages sent during the week ending on May 1 as opposed to the week ending on March 13. Bumble also has a voice call and video chat feature and reported that it saw a near 70% increase in video calls during the week ending on May 1 in comparison to the week ending on March 13.

Wenzler had a date over to his home that he met on Tinder to cook her dinner during the pandemic. He said he thinks people are bored, and because of that, he believes residents his age aren’t afraid to forgo social distancing recommendations.

“Half of you wants to social distance, while the other part of you is going insane. I had more success (dating) toward the end of (the stay-at-home order) just because initially, people were more freaked out and less willing to go on dates with people they didn’t know,” said Wenzler.

ment for women to meet men. She said before the pandemic, some of her friends would go over to men’s houses after their only interactions were on Bumble.

“Rather than meeting someone with dimmed lights and alcohol at a restaurant or bar, you’re meeting in the park in broad daylight. It’s kind of cool because you are forced to be put into a different environment, so therefore, it could almost change the dynamic for whatever the relationship might be,” Gerdes said.

Gerdes has gone on a date to a park with a man who she met on Bumble during the COVID-19 era.

She also added that before the pandemic, she met a man on Bumble who was visiting from San Diego, and although he is back in California, the two have been Facetiming and getting to know each other more.

“I am abiding to social distancing, and it has helped me learn more about myself. I feel good coming out of this knowing what I want and getting to learn more about myself,” said Gerdes. “I think COVID-19 has enabled (residents) to get to know each other more.”

A different way of meeting people Meredith Gerdes of Denver also uses Bumble to meet other people for dating. She believes residents who are looking to date are realizing how dependent they are on bars and restaurants to meet someone.

“The important message to bring across is no one is meeting anyone in a normal setting,” she said.

Forming a new relationship during the pandemic Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, Sam Whitley met his now girlfriend Chelsea Benavides through a friend.

The two went out together to a restaurant, hit it off and decided they wanted to go out together again.

DATING FROM PAGE 6

But COVID-19 forced restaurants to close, so Whitley and Benavides ordered take-out food and ate together at a park.

“After our second date, we decided to do social distance dating because we wanted to be cautious with what’s going and be safe. For a good while, we didn’t see each other at all,” said Whitley.

Wanting to still keep the connection with Benavides, Whitley dropped off a care package to her that included ice cream and dinner.

After that, the two spent time video chatting and did online tours of places like Machu Picchu — while still keeping a distance from each other.

Whitley said his big idea was to set up a projector in his driveway with a screen. Benavides sat in her car on Whitley’s driveway, and he sat outside of it and kept a distance as the two watched a movie together.

“I think my mentality was trying to figure out what I would do on a typical date and how I can modify it so that we can still do a date like a typical one in a way to still social distance,” he said.

Whitley said dating during the pandemic has been a crazy time, but it has forced him to think outside the box in terms of setting up dates with Benavides. He added that it has

been worth it, because he has had a great time with her.

“I feel like it allowed us to connect, and it caused us to have deeper conversations. It was a time to spend at a park or watch the sunset and catch up on each other’s days and to get to know each other and what our lives are like,” said Whitley.

“It was really nice to be able to connect, and because there was so much other stuff going on, we really got to know each other. I really appreciate that.”

o you know someone who has a way with words? Or someone who no have way?

Lake Superior State University, located in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, has hosted an annual List of Banished Words from the Queen’s English for Mis-use, QUIET Overuse and General Uselessness for DESPERATION the past 45 years. I thought it was about time we had one around here.

You submitted “no problem,” “usual suspects,” “new normal,” “social distancing,” “tone deaf, “influencer,” Craig Marshall “essential,” “synergy,” “these ones,” Smith “marginalized,” “outlier,” “right-sized,” “down-sized,” “vibe,” “Seriously?,” “I know, right?,” “it is what it is,” “if memory serves,” and “snollygoster.”

Although “snollygoster” isn’t truly misused or overused, the history lesson Ann McWhite, Arvada, provided warrants a mention. “German immigrants described a mythical beast said to car-

And, Bill O’Reilly “had a fondness for the word.”

“Literally” not only topped Lake Superior State’s list this year, it topped ours too.

Cathy Baldwin, Highlands Ranch, attended Lake Superior State when it was a college and submitted “whatnot” back then. It was rejected. I promised her I would include it, even though Baldwin acknowledged “whatnot” is a useless Michigan word that hasn’t made it to Colorado.

Iris Henderson, Lone Tree, cringes every time she hears “cringeworthy.”

Correspondences with Maureen Kasperek, Castle Rock, enlightened me about the French word “forte” and the Italian word “forte.” Spelled the same but pronounced differently.

Kasperek wrote, “The Italian word `forte’ (pronounced `for-tay’) should only be used as a term in music. The French word `forte’ (pronounced `fort’) is used to describe your strong suit or skillset.”

COVID-19 is spread via droplets from someone who is coughing, sneezing and talking within a few feet, or from fomites. There are studies now that show coronavirus may be airborne also. A new study in “Nature” published April 27 measures the virus’s RNA. This study found higher levels of COVID-19 RNA in inpatient areas such as rooms and toilets.

So in order not to spread COVID-19, wearing a mask is for the safety of all people. (Most recent CDC guidelines).

Approximately 40-50% of infected people are asymptomatic. Another study by “Nature” (April 2020) showed 44% of people who spread COVID-19 are asymptomatic. Wearing a mask says: Not only do I value my life, but I

John Hazard, Centennial, submitted “agree to disagree,” and added, “It is one of the most dismissive responses you can say to another person.”

A number of readers share my dislike of “like,” a baleful, wicked, pernicious, dangerous, evil fungus that may have originated with 1950s beatniks.

Jerry Bennett, Highlands Ranch, reminded me that “Like, what’s happening?” is a line from “Alley Oop,” a 1960 one-hit wonder by the Hollywood Argyles.

Dana Oetting, Highlands Ranch, disapproves of “impact,” stating, “It seems that everything will have an impact, has been impacted, or is impacting. It’s enough to make a person have a `Here’s Johnny’ (Jack Nicholson) moment.”

Nancy Tengler, Highlands Ranch, disdains “curated,” which coincidentally appears this year on Lake Superior State’s list. Its frequent use in art galleries and museums has spilled over into other places, and Tengler wants it to stop.

We can be better on race As a white woman, I attended a middle school where I was the minority. In high school (1970s), I went to Mississippi to help rebuild a black community and became friends with a black teen. He was shocked I would be friends and I was shocked that he was shocked. I was surprised that racism was such an issue even after the civil rights movement. I honestly thought that people would come around, because, duh, of course we are all the same and just our skin color is different. I had black friends and lived in a primarily black neighborhood for a time. I thought I understood.

However, over the last decade, black men began to tell how they are profiled and women how they raise their boys to be safe. Recently, many videos show people harassed in everyday settings. Each story opens my eyes a little more to how hard it is to be black

injustice. Healing and winning relationships can never take place with competing sources of media who seem to have very different agendas and priorities.

Healing and rebuilding relationships of any kind occur when we use words of love, grace, mercy, kindness, gentleness, hope, encouragement, inspiration and forgiveness.

And remember, we have free speech and the freedom of expression, and that we get to choose our words and how we express ourselves. Whether we use those words or expressions in an email, in a text, over the phone, in a virtual meeting, in a social media post, at the local coffee shop, in a column or from a podium, we own our word choices and the effect and impact that they have on others, and in the long run, even the impact they can have on us personally.

What are winning words? Winning words are real, sincere, and based on our true beliefs. Winning words are not manipulative, fake, or meant to placate anyone. And yes, if you have read this column at any time for the past 12 years, you are already aware of how often I speak to the importance of the vocabulary we should

use and the word bank we should keep handy when we communicate with one another. A word bank that is filled with words that speak to solutions, opportunity, benevolence, charity, generosity, positivity, justice and goodness.

The times we are living in call for each one of us to choose our words and choose them wisely. It is a time to be direct, authentic, and just. It is a time to stand behind our convictions, and I stand behind the conviction that the words we use can tear us apart, or they can be used to rebuild any relationship and even a society that is hurting, hurting as badly as our society is right now.

So how about you? How are the words that you are choosing to use affecting others? How are they impacting you personally? I would love to hear how you are choosing your words wisely at mnorton@tramazing.com and when we can fill our ears, minds, hearts, and mouths with the words of love and kindness and love and forgiveness, it really will be a better than good week and help us all to get on the path of healing and recovery.

POP CULTURE CLASSROOM To learn more about Pop Culture Classroom, a nonprofit located at 2760 W. 5th Ave., visit popcultureclassroom.org.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, all of the organization’s in-person programming has been canceled. However, Pop Culture Classroom recently launched its Pop Culture Distance Learning page which offers a variety of free, online programming including video workshops, educational comics, curriculum and other resources for students, parents and educators. Learn more at classroom.popcultureclassroom. org/distance-learning/.

Pop Culture Classroom, 2760 W. 5th Ave., is a nonprofit organization that uses pop culture to inspire a love of learning by providing a platform for creativity, building new relationships and promoting the educational potential of pop culture.

“We want to find a way to empower students,” said Adam Kullberg, Pop Culture Classroom’s director of education who is also serving as the organization’s interim executive director, “so they can become creators (and) create the things they love so much.”

Pop Culture Classroom puts on a variety of programming — workshops, outreach, summer camps, resources for parents and teachers, for example — and its annual Denver Pop Culture Con, which is the nonprofit’s largest fundraiser event.

Originally slated to take place in early July, the 2020 Denver Pop Culture Con at first was postponed until November, but now won’t be held again until 2021.

White-Lindstrom has participated in a number of Pop Culture Classroom’s programs and workshops, including a weeklong summer camp during which he created the abovementioned character.

“The teachers have actual passion for what they’re teaching,” said White-Lindstrom’s mother Kathy White. “They way they teach would help any kid better engage in reading and writing tasks because they (Pop Culture Classroom teachers) teach through avenues kids already engage with.”

With social distancing measures in place because of the coronavirus pandemic, Pop Culture Classroom is offering a selection of its workshops for free online.

The workshops “serve as an opportunity to highlight the artistry and artistic components that go into the creation of pop culture mediums,” states a news release, and focus on drawing and storytelling.

It’s not just watching the stream, it’s about all the activities that can be done afterwards, said Terra Necessary, a literacy educator and artist with Pop Culture Classroom.

For Pop Culture Classroom’s 2018 Denver Pop Culture Con, Atticus White-Lindstrom, now 12, created an Asian-themed fantasy character. The 2020 event has been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“A lot of them (youths) are bursting with creativity, but don’t have a starting point,” Necessary said.

Pop Culture Classroom offers the opportunity to “hone those creative skills and write stories about what’s going on.”

Necessary has been with the organization for about four years, and has read some great student-created comics, ranging from “moving,

emotional stories to silly, hilarious ones.”

Anybody with a piece of paper and a No. 2 pencil can create beautiful comics, Necessary added.

“And the stories that come out of it are so amazing,” she said.

The free streaming workshops are geared for youths, about age 8 and older, but adults would likely enjoy them as well, Kullberg said.

People have been missing that person-to-person interaction, he said, and the live-stream workshops

GONE FISHING

Dillan Tressler, 18, holds up a largemouth bass, about two pounds, that he caught while fishing at Washington Park in early June. Staying at a short-term rental in the Washington Park neighborhood, Arizona resident Tressler caught the fish during his first trip to Colorado. He and his family spent about a week exploring the state, as Tressler is moving to the Denver area in August to study welding at the Lincoln College of Technology. Though Tressler has been fishing his whole life, he said his catch at Washington Park is one of his personal bests, adding it’s likely the biggest bass he’s ever caught. “Fishing is peaceful,” Tressler said, and a good hobby because “you don’t have to be perfect at it.”

DEBATE FROM PAGE 4

Romanoff faced less pointed questions from PBS12 producer Dominick Dezutti, who asked whether his support for single-payer health care and the Green New Deal made him too liberal for Colorado, which counts more unaffiliated voters than members of either major party.

“If you look at every single one of the priorities that we have laid out, I think you’ll find broad support among the majority of Coloradans,” Romanoff responded, shrugging off the suggestion.

Making a case for the Medicare for All proposal, Romanoff said that the current health care system drives half a million Americans into bankruptcy every year and leaves 72 million Americans uninsured or underinsured.

“Cory Gardner and John Hickenlooper both parrot the insurance industry in their opposition to Medicare for All,” he said. “But this is a time for bold leadership, not for timidity, and going back to normal in this broken health insurance model would be a disaster, especially when as many as 43 million more Americans may lose their employer-based coverage before we hit rock bottom.”

Following up, Dezutti asked how Romanoff would pay for his pricey proposals — including Medicare for All, the Green New Deal and reparations for African Americans and Native Americans — on top of the trillions of dollars spent on the recent stimulus.

Romanoff didn’t directly answer, but said he would end what he said are $650 billion in annual direct and indirect subsidies for the fossil fuel industry, instead putting the money into renewable energy.

Given the chance to ask each other a question, Romanoff called on Hickenlooper, a former petroleum geologist, to sign a pledge renouncing contributions from the fossil fuel industry, and Hickenlooper asked Romanoff to rank which past policy position he most regretted from a list that included spearheading tough anti-immigrant legislation when he was speaker of the Colorado House.

“Andrew, you’re mischaracterizing, as always,” said Hickenlooper, who has been endorsed by campaign finance reform group End Citizens United. He maintained that he doesn’t take any money from corporate PACs but acknowledged that among more than 100,000 individual donors, some must work for oil and gas companies. He didn’t, however, address criticism that he’s accepted donations from leadership PACs that accept the kind of contributions Hickenlooper rejects.

“Your handlers in Washington are doing a good job on opposition research,” a salty Romanoff said with a derisive chuckle after Hickenlooper asked about his political past.

“I made a mistake in 2006, and I’ll acknowledge it,” Romanoff said. He explained that he thought he was working to keep a more draconian constitutional amendment off the ballot by brokering a special session to pass a legislative package that restricted services for immigrants in the country illegally and required local law enforcement to report suspected illegal immigrants to the feds when they arrested them.

Romanoff noted that Hickenlooper, who signed a 2013 bill repealing the harshest of the measures, congratulated him on passing the legislation in 2006, when Hickenlooper was mayor of Denver.

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 2

Jen Jackson, principal at Academy of Urban Learning, said her school decided several years ago to redirect funding for a school resource officer to hire more counselors.

“When we employ police in our schools over mental health counselors, over nurses, over arts education, we are saying as a district that’s where our values lie,” Jackson said.

The resolution passed by the board reduces the number of school resource officers — police officers who are specially trained to work with youth — by 25% by Dec. 31, which would eliminate at least four officers. The rest will be removed by June 4, 2021.

The resolution also directs the superintendent to “redefine school safety” in Denver Public Schools and clarify the role that law enforcement should play.

It says the superintendent and community members should craft a district policy that ensures students will no longer be ticketed, arrested, or referred to law enforcement “unless there are no other available alternatives for addressing imminent threats of serious harm.”

And the resolution directs the superintendent to create a monthly school discipline report that would include the number of students ticketed and arrested, the number of students handcuffed, and the number of times police are called to schools, among other information.

State data show Denver’s black students are disproportionately referred to law enforcement, ticketed, and arrested at school. One in four tickets or arrests in the 2018-19 school year involved black students, even though only about one in seven students are black, according to data from the Colorado Department of Criminal Justice.

“We have the capacity to respond, not just with a raised fist or a cardboard sign,” said board member Brad Laurvick, “but as an institution, we can respond with policy for change.”

PROTESTS FROM PAGE 1

restraining order against Denver police and partner agencies late on June 5, severely restricting their ability to use such methods.

“Although I do not agree with those who have committed property damage during the protests, property damage is a small price to pay for constitutional rights — especially the constitutional right of the public to speak against widespread injustice,” Jackson wrote in an 11-page decision, citing injuries to protesters including “loss of vision, fractured bones requiring surgery, deep laceration, loss of eyes, (and) ruptured testicles.”

“If a store’s windows must be broken to prevent a protestor’s facial bones from being broken or eye being permanently damaged, that is more than a fair trade,” Jackson wrote. “If a building must be graffiti-ed to prevent the suppression of free speech, that is a fair trade. The threat to physical safety and free speech outweighs the threat to property.”

The protests were spurred by the May 25 death of black Minneapolis man George Floyd, who died after a police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes. Investigators ruled Floyd’s death a homicide, and officer Derek Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder. Three other officers have been charged with aiding and abetting murder.

Officers from a dozen metro-area agencies responded to the Denver protests, according to Denver police: Adams County Sheriff ’s Office, Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office, Arvada Police, Aurora Police, Broomfield Police, Brighton Police, Commerce City Police, Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office, Lakewood Police, Wheat Ridge Police and Westminster Police.

Though Colorado Community Media was not able to obtain comment from all 12 agencies, a sampling of re-

Demonstrators gathered May 28 at the Colorado state Capitol in Denver to protest the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.

CHRISTY STEADMAN spondents showed a variety of tactics and involvement.

Adams County deputies, for example, deployed flash-bang devices and two types of tear gas, according to Commander Paul Gregory.

In social media posts and in response to questions from journalists, Denver police repeatedly denied using flash-bang devices against protesters.

Adams County deputies detained

protesters on behalf of Denver police, Gregory said, but said the detainments were not arrests.

Unlike many local agencies, Adams County deputies do not wear body cameras.

Gregory did not respond to a question about how many Adams County deputies provided backup in Denver.

Adams County Sheriff Rick Reigenborn did not respond to multiple

requests for comment on his department’s tactics and crowd control methods.

The Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office sent 44 officers on May 31 and June 1, drawn from county deputies and officers from city police departments that form a joint task force.

The Jefferson County team made about 10 arrests, said Sheriff Jeff Shrader, including “three or four” people found to be carrying weapons including guns. Shrader said he was unsure whether Jefferson County personnel deployed tear gas, but said he was aware of one instance of a deputy firing “less-lethal” rounds at a fleeing suspect.

Shrader said he understands the outrage at Floyd’s death.

“We all witnessed a murder in that video,” Shrader said, adding he supports many elements of a police reform bill making its way through the state General Assembly.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock declined a request for an interview on the matter through a spokesperson. The department did not provide details about its response.

In an interview on other matters with CCM’s Elliott Wenzler, Spurlock decried the Floyd killing, saying: “There is no reasonable, rational reason for any police officer to use that kind of restraint on someone.”

Other departments’ responses to assist in Denver appear to have been more low-key.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office sent between 40 and 50 deputies for several nights, said Sheriff Tyler Brown, but said they fired no shots or tear gas and made no arrests.

Brown said he sympathized with protesters, saying George Floyd’s killing was “an abuse of power people should be upset about.”

While Brown said he is confident Arapahoe County is a forward-thinking department, there’s always room for improvement.

“We need to make sure our ears and offices are open to have these conversations,” Brown said. “We can do this together.”

Public Notices named estate are required to present them to the personal representative or to the Denver Probate Court of the City and County of Denver, Colorado, on or before October 18th, 2020, or the claims may be forever barred.
