Spinning isn't winning in Aurora right now.
Prior to the town hall, Aurora launched a new under the auspices of IntegrAssure."The Office of the Independent Consent Decree Monitor for the City of Aurora oversees the implementation of a Consent Decree — a judicially enforceable agreement — between the City of Aurora and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office," its introduction notes.
The two-hour town hall began with assurances from Schlanger, city manager Jim Twombly, who sacked Wilson, and various officials about their sincere efforts to improve the Aurora Police Department's performance, after which plenty of citizens either raised ongoing concerns or expressed doubts that meaningful change will actually happen.
A member of a previous community task force wondered where all of that group's work had gone, since so much of what was being discussed struck her as redundant. Another person complained about a lack of rapport between Aurora residents and officers, whose social and emotional skills he felt were lacking. A woman saw terms such as"gang violence" being used to stigmatize and label people.
