Black (& Brown) History: The Marade for Jessica

Some disturbing events have occurred in Denver, and the media has completely ignored it.  The Denver Police and the Denver Sheriffs Office pay out millions of $$$$$ each year in wrongful death settlements.  But in all the discussions of Police Shootings, Denver never comes up in the conversation.  And I ask myself why?

Yes Jessica, REST IN POWER!
