Denver police brutality scandal: A multimedia timeline

 As a reporter isn't your job to get both sides of the story. In your article the president of the Police Protective Association mentions information that has yet to be released regarding the controversial "beating" of DeHerrera.  Why has that information not been made public?  Why hasn't the media chased that story?  Because it is not politically correct to do so?  Where are the facts of this case and where are all the legitimate reporters?  

At the mayoral forum on police accountability, none of the eight candidates endorsed independent investigation of citizens' complaints against police.  This would only require that a minority of investigative positions within the Denver Police Department's Internal Affairs Bureau be transferred to an independent agency (since most complaints against police officers are lodged by other officers).  Instead, we rely on the sham system of oversight Hickenlooper instituted two years ago -- a "Citizen Oversight Board", which has no authority over the imposition of discipline, and consists of the Mayor's friends, and an "Independent Monitor", who also has no authority over the imposition of discipline, and serves at the Mayor's pleasure.  Why won't Denver's pols even consider a system of independent investigation of police misconduct which has worked in San Francisco for thirty years?
