Colorado’s attorney general, Phil Weiser, warned local governments Thursday that they need to follow the intent of the state’s new police reform law or expect that “the legislature will take action in January to address this issue” — a threat echoed by a key state lawmaker. Backlash has been swift since The Denver Post reported Wednesday that Greenwood Village’s elected leaders had passed a resolution stating that the city would “in all cases defend any police officer in any suit or proceeding brought under (Senate Bill 217) and pay or indemnify its police officers against all expenses” incurred from a legal challenge to officer conduct. The suburb south of Denver, through its attorney and mayor, told The Post that it would never find a police officer to have acted in bad faith.
