Episode Details

A federal judge has sent two high-profile Fort Collins police incidents to a jury: one where an unarmed man was tased while shirtless, and another where a citizen was pepper sprayed for filming officers. The cases stem from a firearms theft investigation, with the first involving Angel San Roman—who removed his clothes to show he posed no threat—and the second involving Carlos Lopez, who was recording when officers demanded he stop. The judge found both incidents potentially violate constitutional rights, allowing them to proceed to trial—but granted qualified immunity to one officer in the pepper spray case. A jury trial is scheduled for late November.
