SMH. The cajones on these criminals! :eek:
DENVER - Denver sheriff's deputies are protesting what they see as a lack of support from city officials after recent high-profile misconduct cases.
"We sat silent for a long time, waiting for the city administration to handle this issue in a proper and responsible way and we don't feel that's happened," said Mike Violette, Executive Director of Colorado's Fraternal Order of Police (FOP).
"The City Administration's failures to address this properly, combined with its 3.25 million dollar settlement on one case has created a climate where many inmates are looking to provoke deputies into using force in an attempt to gain an opportunity sue for big monetary damages," Violette said. "Because of this there has been an increase in serious assaults against officers in recent weeks."
Violette said the settlement led to "a feeding frenzy by a biased media that adds to that confusion."
"The FOP wants the community to know that we care about their safety and the security of the facilities but in the current climate it is difficult to maintain order in the facility," Violette stated. "[This] means that the public is at risk for escapes or some type of disturbance, and that is why we will stay silent NO LONGER."
