A prominent Denver civil-rights law firm has announced that it is preparing a lawsuit on behalf of Greg Heard, a homeless man who says he was trying to surrender to a Denver police officer when he was tased in an episode caught on a body-camera video . A former SWAT team leader believes Heard's tasing represented "a textbook use of force," but Michael Berry, a retired police officer who currently trains law enforcers, strongly disagrees. He breaks down the clip, on view below, and notes that the officer's use of unprovoked profanity before pulling his taser's trigger helps explain how incidents like this one can result in excessive force against a suspect and injury or worse to police.

It's just over a month before the 2017 edition of Denver Go Topless Day, which is scheduled for August 26. But in the run-up to that event, Fort Collins continues to fight a temporary restraining order issued earlier this year against the enforcement of a public-indecency ordinance that includes the words "the breast or breasts of a female," despite a statement from the ruling judge that he would likely rule against the community on constitutional grounds. This stance exasperates co-plaintiff Brit Hoagland, who continues to follow the case even after leaving FoCo, as well as regular criticism by residents and officials opposed to topless equality.
