There are more police officers like this example the ones calling out in Atlanta they are racist the KKK are the BLUE

AuroraPD are these people 'committed to a SaferAurora ' ?

This needs to end. If LE cannot control their toxic behavior they should never be permitted to police again.

Just loathsome. Despicable.

leave with pay? so vacation 👍🏽

NialElkim Disband the unit. They obviously don't take this seriously enough. They should have taken their pensions if they were pretending to care. Otherwise, they are promoting a degenerate police culture. There are just more bad cops in that station. Fire, defund, demilitarize, disband.

Corrupt, Vicious cologop Aurora District Attorney Dave Young sent in police to beat up and gas a Classical Music Memorial Service for Elijah McClain. The KKK lives in the Republican Party.

So murder and mockery of innocents gets you a paid holiday in the USA? DefundThePolice

eraycollins Abolish the police.

Where he was murdered.

DEFUND THE POLICE!

“You murdered a nice guy in cold blood so now you can get some extra vacation days. Good job meeting your quota ❤️.”

'forcibly arrested'

Basquerading Fire them!

Darchmare Because murder wasn’t enough. They had to desecrate his memory. A violin protest. Pachelbel and riot gear. Now this?

They're rotten to the core!!

Show the public the pictures. Show them what the police think of dead innocent black men who posed no threat. Show them how much they hate the black community. Show them how little they think of black men, women and children.

“Administrative leave with pay” = vacation

ftp

With pay? Fuck Aurora PD!!

fuck all of them

Someone independent should investigate the entire Aurora CO PD.

Colorado has police disease. Someone needs to cut that disease out.

What will you do GovofCO about this moral bankruptcy? Your state needs massive PoliceReform

who among us has not killed a person that posed no threat while we were at work and then been given a paid vacation

ACAB

In the police, murder gets you a paid vacation.

“Forcibly arrested”

These are the same assholes that pepper sprayed the violin vigil, right? What the hell.

.... and you wonder why ....

Aurora PD is hot fucking garbage

sosomanysarahs At first I was wondering what could've been so shocking about police at the memorial...now I want smack some people

Dammit Colorado, what the hell is wrong with you?

Pure evil

acab

They should fire the Aurora Police Chief.

With pay?

Fund the police. Defund NPR.

Talk about beasts. These AuroraPD thugs are straight from the pit of hell. You can’t reform that. It’s a lost cause because they’re subhuman.

Aurora PD has illustrated how deeply the systemic issues in the department are by storming a peaceful vigil/protest. The 3 officers who took/circulated pictures mocking Elijah’s killing are on *paid* administrative leave pending investigation. DefundAuroraPD

Our former representative, Mike Coffman, is now the city mayor. I thought he'd have some cajones, seems to have forgotten

Damn! Taking photos during a Staycation is getting tough!

This can't be true when we've already gotten rid of the few bad apples. Or maybe it's the orchard. Or maybe it's in the genetic makeup of the fruit.

“Forcibly arrested” is a weird way of saying murdered

Good for the officer who reported this! Good guys working to prevail over bad guys.

Few bad apples?

They are the worst!

Dear Police - Some of y'all continue to be your own worst enemies in the whole DefundThePolice discussion. Respect to the AuroraPD officer who reported the pictures.

I wonder if the public realizes that tax payers are financially responsible for these investigations? Like, all you small govt ppl are fine with this?
