DENVER -- A police body camera video leaked to Contact7 Investigates shows the son of Denver Mayor Michael Hancock using a slur against an Aurora police officer during a traffic stop.
“My dad’s the mayor, you ******* ******” Jordan Hancock is shown saying in the video clip.
Denver is a pretty progressive city with a strong LBGTQABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ community.
Let's see if the liberals eat one of their own on this one. Love it when that happens.
And the progs here HATE the mayor because he is a capitalist who is very pro-development. In Hancock's 8 years in office the population of just the city of Denver has increased by nearly 20% (100,000 people); the entire metro area has added nearly 500,000 people (15% increase). My house has doubled in value since 2010, and has nearly tripled since I bought it in 2006.
On the flip side, the cool thing about the progs here is that most of them are actually pretty libertarian-leaning due to the huge tech industry we have out here now. There isn't a whole lot of Berkeley/NYC identity politics.
He's actually been a pretty good mayor, as far as mayors go. Pro-business, pro-development, anti-regulation.
Agree. We lived in Denver from 2012-15 and I always thought Mayor Hancock was a good leader. I liked Governor Hickenlooper too, and I'm not even a Democrat, let alone a Liberal. I personally found Denver to be a city that while progressive, avoided straying too far into Nanny State territory. That was my perception living there, anyway.

I hate people who use their position (or worse, their daddy's position) to get away with breaking the rules.
Asshats.
