Thanks to a string of alleged police-brutality incidents such as those involving Michael DeHerrera and Alex Landau, some Denverites may be feeling more nervous than ever about Denver cops.

Brian Hicks, the reputed leader of the Tre Tre Crips gang, has been convicted of soliciting two men to kill a witness named Kalonniann Clark. The 28-year-old Clark was killed on December 6, 2006 — just a week before she was scheduled to testify that Hicks tried to shoot her…
Denver blog posts are fun. Because they’re about Denver. Mile High Report’s John Bena reveals that BoDog.com puts the Broncos’ odds of winning the next Super Bowl at 60/1. It’ll take a miracle, Mr. Tebow. Colorado Independent’s Scot Kersgaard: Representative Ed Perlmutter is stepping up security. Who Said, You Said:…
The porno graffiti pictured above looks like it captures a moment of tenderness. However, “Pressed into a little electric 2” is the lyric from a Pavement song about a guy who wants “to get the fuck out of this town.” As seen below, it makes for odd bedfellows…..
Here’s a story from our neighboring state to the south that’s too strange not to share. Although we promise not to over-share, as Anthony Garcia may have done. According to Albuquerque’s KOAT-TV, Garcia, an employee at an area Sunflower Market, served a yogurt sample to a female customer. After taking…
Visitors to Rocky Mountain Right’s website can usually find conservative news and commentary — but not right now. The home page is currently emblazoned with the phrase “Access Denied.” That’s because site overseer Antony Surace has temporarily blocked users to the page due to concerns about possibly being sued by…
Last week, we published a post about a diversity committee at the University of Colorado at Boulder looking into a possible ban on black face and body painting of the sort seen most often during so-called Black Out games — the theory being that this form of school spirit is…
On Friday, Babes Around Denver tried out at Tracks to become dancers known as “Wicked Little Girls” — and photog Kate Levy was there to capture the action, of which there was plenty this weekend. To check out shots of Fashion Denver’s anniversary bash, the Mustache Festival at Vesta Dipping…
Late 2009 saw the birth of Coloradans for Medical Marijuana Regulation, which set out to lobby the legislature regarding MMJ bills. But shortly after the May passage of HB 1284, the main regulatory measure, CMMR imploded, with various parties accusing each other of financial improprieties and more. Betty Aldworth tried…
A new partner has emerged in the New York Knicks continuing quest to obtain the services of Carmelo Anthony: the Minnesota Timberwolves. Reports are circulating about a three-way deal that could happen as early as mid-week — although there are a lot of gaps that would have to be filled…
Aurora Police have characterized an incident that apparently took place in an Aurora apartment on the 15400 block of East 13th Avenue a “suspicious death.” And from the information filtering out thus far about reported victim Camille Jackson, age 21, that phrase certainly seems justified…
The cancellation of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s scheduled May 2 speech in Glendale so quickly after its announcement can’t help but smack of hinkiness. So, too, does the stated reason for the plug-pulling: personal attacks made on Palin that allegedly stop short of actual threats…
This week’s cover story, “The Devil’s Playground,” presents Scott Howard’s account of enduring rape and extortion by a notorious white supremacist gang in Colorado’s prisons — and then battling the indifference and even alleged cover-ups by the staffers he went to for help. But can he prove it?…
There’s been much talk about real estate developer Buzz Geller entering the crowded mayoral race. Such a development would have been interesting; not only is Geller more conservative than his competition, he also has a tendency to speak his mind. It’s not meant to be, though. Here, Geller weighs in…
Last week, we wrote about the case of Katia Birge, who claims to have been raped by a Denver Catholic lay minister in 2008. Today, her father, attorney Tom Birge, called to dispute a statement made by the Archdiocese of Denver spokeswoman — and to clarify other points…
As Jef Otte wrote, tomorrow is National Weatherman’s Day. No really. Created for 18th-century weather observer John Jeffries, it honors “men and women who collectively provide Americans with the best weather, water, and climate forecasts and warning services of any nation,” the National Weather Service says…
A Denver blog post triple play. Colorado Independent’s Scot Kersgaard reports that removal of the word “forcible” from a bill co-sponsored by Cory Gardner, Mike Coffman and Doug Lamborn means rape victims will still be able to get abortions without arguing about the circumstances of the crime. BigMedia.org’s Jason Salzman…
John Elway became a Super Bowl hero, but he didn’t always look like a football god among men in the big game, as Yahoo! Sports’ Darren Pare points out. In anticipation of this weekend’s Packers-Steelers tilt, Pare chose the five worst Super Bowl performances of all time — and Elway’s…
“Pebble Beach Resorts is a legendary place. Combine a dramatic coastline and mystical forest with a rich history of world-class accommodations, warm hospitality, expert service and grand recreation.” That’s how www.pebblebeach.com describes the world-renowned California resort…
Was Parris Mathis immune to marijuana’s well-known calming effects? You’ve gotta wonder given the police release about his arrest. Seems he got into an argument with a woman for “sitting on the stairwell” (!), and when a man tried to intervene, he allegedly pummeled both of them with a “Native…
The chalk board shown above broadcasts Andrew’s love for Kelly. Uncommon in most of Denver, the valentine greetings spread across Congress Park prove that it is the horniest and corniest neighborhood in Denver. Below, a new understanding of the word “congress”…..
