Perry sent that video along with a brag that he was a "big, tough, lawman."
The investigation expanded after we brought this to the attention of @GilpinSheriff. @jeffcosheriffco found Perry had a pattern of sharing body cam without permission & issued a summons.

Former Deputy Filip Perry sent this video to an acquaintance hours after he slammed a man against a car during an arrest.
The @GilpinSheriff said he reacted with "disbelief," "disgust" and that it affected the faith that the community had in his agency.

Look — I get that most people are going to say that all of the cash spent on the @nuggets victory parade was worth it.
But you should know the cost and be able to make that call yourself

ICYMI: Nearly $900,000 was spent on the @nuggets parade and celebration.
A third of that was spent by @CityofDenver for their employees to work the event -- mostly police overtime.

NEW: The @nuggets celebration confetti has long been cleared away & $900k in bills have been paid
I went through the receipts & found the companies & community orgs picked up most of the tab.
But -- $300k in tax dollars went to pay city employees. Most of that went to police.

A lawsuit alleged Colorado prisons force incarcerated people to work even though voters decided against it in 2018.
I found at least 727 instances where the CDOC wrote up inmates for failing to report to work or to do the assigned work.
