Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:47:03 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Aurora may soon cut ties with the Denver Police Department. The two agencies have an agreement to help each other during extraordinary circumstances. But now, Aurora claims the deal is unfair. "Colorado Point of View" took a closer look at the issue in this week's episode.The issue is not about day-to-day crime but about those large, few-and-far-between events where one city needs a lot of help from the other — in this case, the 2020 protests. United Airlines agrees to give union pilots big pay raises Denver Police asked Aurora to send officers to help, and now some of them are being sued by protesters. Aurora argues because Denver was in charge, with out-of-town officers following Denver’s commands, Denver should be responsible to defend those officers in court.

The Mets need everyone healthy and at their best right now as they try and make one final plea to the baseball gods for some winning luck before the trade deadline, but as manager Buck Showalter likes to say, everyone is battling something.Starling Marte was a late lineup scratch Saturday with some sort of illness.

The Mets took him out of the lineup and reconfigured the lineup, moving D.J. Stewart from left field to right, Jeff McNeil from second base to left field and using Luis Guillorme at second base.

Pham was able to DH in Friday’s loss but the Mets took him ...

Even when you’re just an occasional skier, you choose a “home spot” in each state you ski.
