Perry sent that video along with a brag that he was a "big, tough, lawman."

The investigation expanded after we brought this to the attention of @GilpinSheriff. @jeffcosheriffco found Perry had a pattern of sharing body cam without permission & issued a summons.

Former Deputy Filip Perry sent this video to an acquaintance hours after he slammed a man against a car during an arrest.

The @GilpinSheriff said he reacted with "disbelief," "disgust" and that it affected the faith that the community had in his agency.

From people pulling the middle finger to pulling the trigger of a gun, rage is quite apparent on the streets as police in this city report increasing road rage numbers, with some cases turning fatal.

The term “excited delirium” has been used for decades to help exonerate law enforcement of any wrongdoing after someone dies in their custody. Colorado’s coroners appear ready to stop using it.

The message on the t-shirts of protestors at Douglas County PrideFest seemed innocent on the surface, with a goal to “stand to protect children.”

Who doesn’t want to protect kids?

But an expert said this attempted to “demonize the LGBTQ+ community.” https://t.co/X74BEfXlpI

The judge found a “danger of real, immediate and irreparable injury.”

Ex: The fake documents could help car thieves escape detection, according to the @COAttnyGeneral. And an undercover investigator got fake child custody docs.

Look — I get that most people are going to say that all of the cash spent on the @nuggets victory parade was worth it.

But you should know the cost and be able to make that call yourself

[9Wants to Know @9WantsToKnow]

We found nearly $900,000 was spent on the Nuggets parade and celebration.

A third of that was taxpayer dollars spent by Denver for their employees to work the event -- mostly police overtime.

ICYMI: Nearly $900,000 was spent on the @nuggets parade and celebration.

A third of that was spent by @CityofDenver for their employees to work the event -- mostly police overtime.

Read on for more details about the cost of other celebration must-haves from porta potties to barricades:

https://t.co/j2urtsQgKs

[Zack Newman @ZackNewsMan]

Most of the money, $440k, came from Kroenke Sports & Entertainment according to the event organizer. Other donors:

- @visitdenver: $100k
- @DowntownDenver: $30K
- @DenChamber: $30k

[Zack Newman @ZackNewsMan]

NEW: The @nuggets celebration confetti has long been cleared away & $900k in bills have been paid

I went through the receipts & found the companies & community orgs picked up most of the tab.

But -- $300k in tax dollars went to pay city employees. Most of that went to police.

A @GilpinSheriff deputy slammed a man into his car during an arrest & said "the only reason you didn’t get f**king beat tonight is because I f**king know you."

Hours later, he bragged about the violence in texts & said he would do the job "for free."
