I just ran across this article http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_28470805/colorado-laws-allow-rogue-officers-stay-law-enforcement in the Denver Post.
It is titled: Colorado laws allow rogue officers to stay in law enforcement. Colorado’s rogue police officers continue to stay in law enforcement due to lenient state laws.
They wrote, “Roger Goldman, a nationally recognized expert on officer misconduct who has helped write laws establishing state police review panels, said Colorado’s lenient rules allow unfit officers to continue doing harm.”
It was an eye-opener for sure, and then I saw this article http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_28952022/colorado-home-second-chance-police-officers-from-other
I feel that Colorado’s law of original jurisdiction (Home Rule) creates the perfect climate for police corruption, and I truly believe this law needs to change – it needs to be abolished.
