New: 50 people sued Denver today alleging police wantonly used tear gas and projectiles on them while they were peacefully protesting police brutality last year. Many said they were traumatized and now fear protesting because of what they experienced.

🚨#BREAKING: Nearly TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE are publicly vouching for a man accused of cutting down Flock cameras in a small West Virginia town.
People commented:
- "He was saving my neighbor's dog from a fire all day, couldn't be him."
- "This man is innocent. I saw him serving at a soup kitchen."
-"Couldn't be him. He was helping me replace the roof on a homeless shelter."
The man, Wesley Jackson, has pleaded Not Guilty.
These are just settlement numbers. @CityofDenver should release the amount spent on attorney fees it has paid to large law firms who defended these lawsuits only to settle them years later.
@aj_mcnulty said Denver would pay $100 mil before this over. He’s right on track.
Denver Police Department's brutality during the 2020 George Floyd protests has cost the city $28.1 million in settlements so far. That doesn't include the $14 million awarded by a 2022 federal jury to protesters that the city is appealing.

Last day at the office for 2023 with my main-man Bodacious. We decided to on matching ties for court this afternoon.
From all of us @Yoast_Law - please have a safe and Happy Holidays!
So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!
You know you’re doing your job when a DA is so upset they scream “shut up” on the phone.
DAs only want us to be quiet so they can try to twist any conviction out of our clients they can.
At @Yoast_Law we do NOT tolerate unethical DAs & we are NOT afraid to TAKE IT TO TRIAL!
The Weld County Sheriff’s Office recently mandated that anybody seeking public records from the agency must get a form notarized in order to obtain documents — a move one free speech expert called an unprecedented and unlawful burden. https://t.co/QuFK4WY7Ib
