NEW: Aurora Police aren't yet telling the public what officers are seen doing in photos back at the spot where #ElijahMcClain was restrained. Chief Wilson learned of photos last Thu., before weekend protests. IA probe ended today. Only acknowledged when it leaked to media. #9NEWS
The timeline is important because we now know that, prior to the protests and the use-of-force during the violin vigil, Aurora Police:

- knew these photos existed
- were investigating the officers involved
- knew it was possible the public would eventually find out
We'll also be asking @AuroraMayorMike if he knew of the photos being investigated and when he learned of them. We were scheduled to interview him today about APD's use-of-force at the violin vigil but he canceled and directed us to the police chief. 9news.com/article/news/l…
Chief Wilson's statement tonight commits to releasing the IA investigation "in its entirety," including "photographic evidence obtained" so it looks like they'll be made public. An APD spokeswoman said tonight that the release process, pending appeals, could take days/weeks.
Wilson became interim chief of APD when the previous interim chief retired in the face of an internal affairs investigation of his role in the handling of an APD officer found blackout drunk and armed behind the wheel of his patrol car on duty. 9news.com/article/news/i…
The drunk-on-duty APD officer wasn't fired and was not charged with a crime because of the way evidence was (and wasn't) collected. Wilson became interim chief promising transparency and asking the public "to give me the opportunity to move forward and to gain that trust back."
Our @Jordan_Chavez interviewed Chief Wilson today. We didn't know about the photos and investigation yet so we didn't ask her. She didn't volunteer the information. (end thread)

NEW: Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) will not seek the special election nomination to replace Rep Ken Buck (R) for the remainder of 2024, instead focusing on the GOP primary to replace him for a full two-year term. The primary and special election are both June 25. #copolitics
Boebert was unlikely to win the special election nod from GOP insiders in CO-4 after switching her district from CO-3 and if she had received the special election nomination and won the special election in June, she would have been forced to resign her current seat early.
Boebert holds a nearly 10x advantage in fundraising over GOP rivals Jerry Sonnenberg and Deb Flora (as of Jan) but she is likely to face an effort from more traditional GOP insiders to steer the special election nomination to one of her rivals, which could cause voter confusion.

The failure to cover and contextualize extremism and unprecedented political behavior is even more pronounced at the local news level, especially on local TV news. Why?
Perhaps it’s the fear of alienating any of the audience, despite the stakes. Perhaps it’s fear of the violent threats that journalists and their families receive after covering extremism. Maybe it’s disinterest, apathy, or the idea that such weighty topics should be left others.
But studies show as many American receive their news from local TV as cable, so refusing to cover extremism is a decision to not inform our neighbors of the threat.

NEW: Congressional candidate and GOP House Minority Leader @COrepLynch says he didn't think there was any reason to tell voters he was arrested in 2022 for drunk driving and a weapons charge because it's a "personal matter." #copolitics #coleg
@COrepLynch Lynch's BAC was more than double the legal limit when he was stopped going 90mph on I-25 by a state trooper who thought Lynch was trying to race him. The trooper said he feared for his safety as Lynch reached for a gun during the traffic stop.
@COrepLynch Lynch asked the trooper to contact the Colorado State Patrol's lobbyist at the Capitol, then later rescinded the request before telling the trooper he was a state legislator. Two minutes after Lynch's arrest, a CSP spokesman was notified but the arrest was kept under wraps.

Colorado Democrats are backing off a false claim made by @GovofCO Polis to promote Prop HH. Following a 9News fact-check, the @YesOnHH website no longer inaccurately says Prop HH is the *only* way to mitigate property tax hikes. #copolitics
Image
Image
Polis’ false claim was featured in pro-HH mailers and an ad that we fact-checked this week.

Image
Polis’ quote has now been changed on the pro-HH website and in the language used by Democrats to promote the tax measure. It still inaccurately claims that HH would preserve TABOR refunds when HH would actually reduce the refunds, potentially to $0 in some years. Image

NEW: 2022 Colorado gubernatorial candidate @heidiganahl (R) says Christians "have the power to singlehandedly return our state to the beautiful place it was." The Truth & Liberty Conference mixed anti-LGBTQ rhetoric with calls for Christian dominance of government. #copolitics
Ganahl spoke Friday at the Truth & Liberty Conference in Woodland Park, led by evangelist and faith healer Andrew Wommack who opened the event likening LGBTQ people to murderers and saying Christians should assume control because "they don’t even know which bathroom to go into."
Ganahl called for children to be removed from public schools and placed in church-run schools, saying that Colorado's public schools teach "that parents are not to be trusted, that Government is God, that sexual deviance is King."
