Re: “Denver police captain punished for ripping homeless man’s pot sign,” Nov. 10 news story.
Capt. Joe Black detains a Rockies fan during an incident in July 2014. (Handout)
Yet another story about a law enforcement officer exceeding his authority, using extremely poor judgment and exhibiting a total lack of self control. Not that I really think it would do any good, but my suggestion for cases like this, in addition to the appropriate disciplinary action, is that the officer in question should be required to attend anger management classes at his own expense and during his own time.
The article also states that the Coors Field incident involving the same officer happened four months ago and still has not been finalized. There is no good reason for our government agencies to take so long to resolve simple cases.
