Oh Robert, I just read your post.  Even without the details, I feel terrible for what that poor girl went through, and what her family is going through now.  I am so thankful for men and women like you who are out there everyday trying to keep these thugs in check.<br /><br />The City of Denver has decided to solve their budget problems by asking the police and firemen to take a 2% pay cut in 2009.  This news came two days after they annoucned the District Attorney would get a &#036;32K/year raise (from &#036;140K to &#036;172K).  I don&#39;t live in Denver, but it pI&#036;&#036;eS me off that the City is taking their budget probems out of the hides of those that keep everyone safe.  After the DNC left town, and we watched the melee at the RNC with broken windows etc., the mayor should have realized the first rate emergency services Denver has.  I hope they find another solution...
