A billboard paid for by a Wyoming county sheriff's office was unveiled in Denver, Colorado, during Police Week with a controversial message for police officers.

Kozak was referring to budget cuts that city council members proposed in April, which would cut Denver's public safety budget by $8.4 million — about 1.9% of the police force's funds.

Oh no a small crumb of the budget is gone! With only 434 MILLION dollars instead of 442 million dollars what nefarious crimes will go unsolved by Denver County?

He said in a post on social media the cuts restricted the ability of cops to enforce traffic laws such as expired plates and safety equipment violations.

Well let's see how Denver clapped back at this slight!

Denver Police also took issue with the Laramie County sheriff's message.

Hell yeah!

"A primary advantage for working for Denver Police versus the Laramie County Sheriff's Office is that the top pay for the officer rank is $24,575 more annually than the top pay for a LCSO deputy sheriff, and the pay gap increases at higher ranks," Denver Police said in a statement. "And being a much larger department, Denver Police officers have significantly greater opportunities to promote."

I fucking hate it here, and still simultaneously believe Colorado is the best fucking state. The reason so many Feds are out here is the next time a Miners war breaks out in the Rockies, will be an insurgency that will never be broken, as nuking Colorado means nuking Americas water.

    yea it'd be fun to be able to afford to live in Washington, but Colorado is nice until I remember it's next to Wyoming and contains Weld County.

      Very true, I mostly like it here because Medicaid is easy to get on and it covers a lot of trans healthcare, and other than some randos who look like they walked from Alabama, I don't feel much transphobia around here.
