    I believe it. Aurora PD has a long history of racist behavior and absolute brutality. An ex and I called 911 over a severe car wreck in Aurora. The operator asked for our vehicle description and instructed us to pull over and wait until responders were on the scene to talk to us. When the police show up, one gets out of his vehicle, one hand on his gun, and the other flailing wildly telling us to get the fuck out of here or else. Neither my ex or I are white. I have a policy of only calling 911 for medical needs, but after that encounter, when I did, I would tell the operator I am not remaining in the area and am leaving.

    That sounds like the perfect place to recruit fresh young officers. ACAB

      Aurora is the place where the cops shut down an intersection and held people hostage for hours based on zero information of a suspect they were looking for, and then pointed a shotgun at a kid. So yeah, this tracks…
