DENVER — There is a new development in how Denver police handled the response to an alleged case of excessive force. It has to do with how the man who shot the video of the incident ended up in jail himself last week, and how the department is responding to the new controversy. [...]In Fraiser’s recording, you can see the officer search the truck, find the tablet on the floor and then he turns it off. “You can see him sort of look at it and he hits the stop button. I didn’t know he had done that at the time,” Fraiser says. The officer restarted the tablet’s record function, creating a second video file. He then asked Fraiser about it. “Do you want this on for a reason?” the officer is heard asking on the new recording. “Yes, please,” Fraiser responded. The police report about Thursday’s traffic stop and arrest doesn’t mention the recordings. Denver Police Commander Matt Murray declined an interview, but told FOX31 Denver on the phone, “Whether (the officer) turned it off or not is irrelevant. It was not a search. The officer was only securing valuables out of the car as required by policy.” Read More |
