What started as a walk to the park with his dogs ended with a trip to the hospital for a Denver dog owner. 32-year-old Mark Ashford says he was beaten black and blue by two Denver Police officers. [More]
That'll teach him to offer an abuse victim his services as a witness! We won't stand for "uppity"!

Make sure you watch the video.

Notice the headline said "New case"? Here's the other recent one.
It's a good thing we have all those cameras, as this Denver Police incident shows. That way, we can turn them away when the beating starts--but in fairness it does redirect to let us watch the kid get dragged into the cruiser and see a door slammed on his ankle.

That'll teach him to call his dad when a friend is being manhandled!

Make sure you watch that video, too.

It's not like Denver "Only Ones" assaulting citizens hasn't been known about for a long time. Hell, a few years back, they even made souvenir shirts bragging about it. And nothing has been done about it.
