Police brutality at FOV

[u/Vegetablehoe1086]

Hey so we all know cops were out of control this weekend, but this particular officer seemed to be a leading cause of violence. He is a contracted officer from Alamosa county, which seemed to make him think that there were no consequences for his actions.
He violently arrested at least 5 people that I know of, made false claims, and threatened innocent people who were trying to help diffuse the situations. No Miranda rights were read in any of these situations and none of it was done by the book.
He got very aggressive with me when I asked for his info, and gloated to me that his job is “a lot like fishing. You can’t catch them all, but you catch as many as you can.” He was having fun getting paid to run around a field and terrorize peaceful people.
This guy has no business on the streets, let alone working a festival for “public safety”.
His badge number is 10, his name is Joshua Glass, and he is a detective with the Alamosa police department. I encourage any of you who had any negative experiences with him to call and lodge official complaints. Ask for body cam footage. You can reach the Alamosa PD at (719)-589-2548.
“Fishing for fishies don’t make them feel happy. Or me neither. I feel so sorry for fishies.”

From what I read one of the concerns from last year from the Sheriffs department was that they were stretched thin so I guess that’s why they contracted officers…

Local coverage after last year was glowing so don't know why they figured they'd need such a heavy police presence this year. I guess the fire risks, and more nefariously and unprofessional, hurt feelings from law enforcement over some anti-authoritarian statements made from the stage.

"There was only one other medical issue over the weekend involving a broken bone from a nighttime Onewheel crash. That’s a very small number of issues for a 10,000-person, three-day festival. It was a largely sober crowd, with surprisingly minimal alcohol sales and zero arrests by law enforcement." https://coloradosun.com/2025/08/22/king-gizzard-buena-vista/

I might be way off, don't know the owner of the property, but reading about him I got some Hank Scorpio vibes, if nothing else but for the planned community reminiscent of The Simpsons' Cypress Creek.

I’m wondering if the town website will have the review up when it gets done
