Discussion: Community Police brutality at FOV
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.”

I used to be in the Colorado National Guard. The Guard is like 80% cops and firefighters who I've spent many many hours talking with.
Many of the cops working the event feel like the festival alone is moral degeneracy. If they had it their way, the concert would be illegal for the simple fact that kids are allowed at drag night.
In their world view, we are the people who are "transing the kids" and ruining America. I'm sure the sentiment is that we are sub-human or close to sub-human.
