Aurora police

Mark A. Golden of Aurora writes:

Let’s see what sense of logic we can make of this new development between the Aurora Civil Service Commission and the Aurora Chief of Police.
We have a Sergeant who is accused, by a person of black heritage, to have assaulted her. The Sergeant has been found by a Review Board, consisting of not less than 8 people, to have used appropriate force, thus not guilty. Then we have a Chief of Police who has been accused of Attempting to Influence a Public Official (the entire Civil Service Commission) and violating an Employees Right of Due Process and after a review by a Law Firm, hired by the City of Aurora, found to be guilty. Now, we get to the tricky part. The Chief who has been found guilty is trying to have a larger say in promoting or not promoting those who have been found innocent. In short, we are rewarding the guilty and possibly condemning the innocent. Which POT is calling which KETTLE black?
Why are the Black Political Activists trying to promote this form of logic in the first place? When have we begun condoning the condemnation of people who have been exonerated and begun rewarding the people who have been found guilty? What type of Political Hoopla is this? Leave the Police Sergeant alone. He has been exonerated and has competed fairly for a promotion, let him have the promotion and move on people.
Try condemning the Chief and the City Officials who are still accused of illegal acts and have failed to be held accountable for their indiscretions. (Chief Oates, the Assistant City Manager, the Assistant City Attorney, the Fire Chief, the Assistant to the Fire Chief and City Councilwoman Molly Markert) You have a lot more people in the City’s upper echelon committing crimes you should be worried about than this one Sergeant who has already been exonerated.

I'll bet Bill "I hate cops" Johnson will do a fair an unbiased story on this issue...when pigs fly and hell freezes over.

Police brutality.... If that dirty cop would have harrassed and beat any of your cowards then you would be singing a different song.

I'm tired of the , " I'm a victim mentality in the black and hispanic communities." I'm alsof , " The big bad cop beat me up for nothing, excuse.
If you treat a police officer with a respectful tone when approached ,there usually isn't a problem. If however you start the attitude thing because you are a minority , things could get ugly.
I bet 99.9% of the complaints against police officers start with attitude and the way you speak to an officer.

There are two things that should be considered regarding this matter.

First, the police officer in question was cleared of the charges.

Second, the Aurora Police Chief appears to be using this matter as an excuse to push his own agenda. Specifically, that he would like to be able to select officers for promotion from the top few scorers on the exam- not necessarily the top scoring individual. This sort of practice would no doubt open the selection process to political influence and probably lead to the creation of a “good ’ol boys” network at the Aurora Police Department.

The citizens of Aurora deserve to get the best qualified (highest scoring) candidate not just the candidate that the Chief likes.

The use of an objective exam works toward insuring the men and women of the APD are treated in a fair manner.
