Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Partially done. Hancock already asked Whitman to step down, the problem is that he's going to put a croney in there - but Whitman is out.Originally Posted by OneGuy67

Not true. He was criminally charged by the agency where the violation occured and his agency suspended him. The DA will ultimately decide what happens to him and his agency will most likely terminate him, given the aggression issue.Honestly I know not all departments are exactly like DPD. too many are heading that way, its like a virus... and this ass-hat, unfortunately is the proof.
And for the Good Guys, Ya'll need to clean your house.
And, I have been cleaning house here in Colorado. I've gotten a number of cops charged and terminated, or had them wisely see the error of their actions and see the need for them to find other employment in some other field. I am proud of my profession and I do not want those who tarnish the badge to bring everyone down.
Unfortunately, I cannot do anything to change DPD. You, the citizenry, will have to be the one who directs that change by contacting your city representatives and complaining, contacting the DPD supervision and complaining and contacting the mayor and complaining...over and over until they get the message or until some changes take place. It will take years, and you will have to be prepared for that and settle down for the long haul.

This is the yeoman's work of a concerned citizenry. It may sound contrite and naive, but the government is "We the People." If you don't like it, then work for change. It may be hard to believe, but there are citizens who worked for and want the change the President promised. If you are not one of those citizens then work for a different kind of change.
Thank you OneGuy67 for the work you are doing.
If you see something that is wrong, say something or do something. Just ranting about it will not produce anything but a negative attitude and discontent. Speak up loudly and often enough to the elected officials, media, and civil servants, and someone may just listen. Then again, if you want real change in any organization, DPD, state legislature, Congress, etc... then work your way inside the belly of the beast and make whatever changes you can from within. It is a slow and often frustrating process. You will have company though. There are good people everywhere, and I like to think we out number the bad people
I grew up with him. my sister and his are best friends. We went to high school together played football together etc etc. He has always been that size. No roids just big and worked out a lot. Always strong and aggressive.
Always ignorant comments made by people that don't know any different. I haven't talked to his about it to find out what really happened.
if he fucked up then he should pay for it but not get ass raped daily for 25 years....
Judges tend to shy away from the "ass raping" sentence. It is often overturned as a violation of the 8th Amendment.
I'm glad someone on this board knows him. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I have spoken to and dealt with the victim several times while getting gas at that Costco. There are always more than one side to every story. At the moment, Hughes' case is being tried on the internet and through the local media. Ultimately his case will be decided by either a judge, jury of his peers or settled through plea agreement.
Whatever the outcome of the judicial action for Hughes, he probably does not have a future in law enforcement, but that would just be my opinion.
Turning your vehicle off at the station is a private property issue, not one of law. That guy is a douche bag and took it too far.

X2 It will be interesteing to see how his other charges work out. Sounds like he caused the wreck and just left the scene. He didn't even stop to see if anyone was hurt. Just took off in fis Ford Mustang police car. I would bet a dollar to a doughnut hole that there are a lot more stories that we haven't even heard about because his victims are to scared to say shit.
Maybe 25 years of ass rapings was out of line. He probably should only get 10 to 12, but he will probably just get fired.

I will say this about the incident: I also occasionally do not turn my vehicle off when pumping gas and I would be irritated with some guy trying to shut the gas off on me because he didn't like that.
I wouldn't get physical with him though, no matter his age and I wouldn't badge him over it.

When the old guy asked you nicely to turn off the engine, you would have turned it off......Not beat the living shit out of some old dude that can't protect himself and then flashed your badge and drove off.
Me too, but if I ever fuck up an old man over it, everyone on here better call me a douche bag.
