This is Javier Calzada, a Denver resident who immigrated from Mexico 27 years ago. He walked the line between riot cops and protesters throughout the night, urging people to keep the peace. "We don't support the attacks on our community," he told me. "We're here to protect ourselves."

I’ve spent a significant amount of the past four months digging into CBZ, which has an extensive legal history in Aurora in particular. The absolute constant is delay and obfuscate, obfuscate and delay. Officials in Denver and Aurora have lost patience with that approach, belatedly. AG has now, too.
