So the Denver sheriff has stepped down?

Is that correct? That's what they were saying on the news. The two issues that the news mentioned was the guy getting the shit kicked out of him last year while on tape (wasn't he not doing anything but being on a cell phone or something?), and the guy dying while being restrained at the jail.

Comments, feelings, more info? Thought it would be a fitting topic on this board since I thought that someone recently posted that they were under the impression that the sheriff was a "good guy" for guns, but was at odds with the rest of the city/county.

Denver County does not have an elected Sheriff. They have someone appointed and referred to as an Undersheriff who runs the Denver County Sheriff's Department. The whole city and county thing throws people off when they are trying to look at the government operations like a "normal" city or county.

Broomfield is similar as they are a city and a county, but the chief of police also is in charge of the jail and what would normally be considered county sheriff functions.

Didn't all this stuff happen prior to the hiring of Perea?

What about Whitman and Hickenlooper? All this crap happened under their watch.
