Good evening. I'm Kim Christensen and I'm Kyle Clark. Another Aurora City Council meeting has been shut down by protests tonight. It's over two issues. People are demanding city council apologize to the Venezuelan community and hold police accountable for the death of Kyle Lewis nine supporter Rachel Kraus is in Aurora outside that meeting, Rachel, this comes as the city swore in a new police chief hours ago. Yeah, a lot of people here are feeling pretty frustrated for years. They've been telling the city and the police that they want transparency in a voice about what's happening in their community. So seeing to Chamberlain sworn in earlier today, the new chief of police, they say just kind of erodes the public trust. Even further. Newest police chief, Todd Chamberlain started right away, speaking with protesters, they want justice and Kylin Lewis's death. Yes, but also answers as to why the police's new leader was picked in private questions. Medin Shaner took straight to Chamberlain. Why would you accept a position knowing that there wasn't community involvement? That's a question many in the aurora community aren't asking of the city's sixth chief in five years. He's leading plagued with issues in operating under a consent decree for how it polices the community. Why should we trust you? What do we go back to our communities and say to me, why should we trust you? No, no, no, not getting to know. But why should we trust me? Because again, I'm here to serve you. But trust is in short supply around Aurora. Right now. The city and police have refuted claims that a Venezuelan gang has taken over apartment complexes. Conservatives have said the city and APD are lying and tenants have said the city needs to do more with bad landlords. Even those who have been pushing for details following Lewis's debt, say this is another example that shows black and brown people in Aurora deserve better and we are here today yet again in the city of Aurora because we continue to be failed by the city leadership in Aurora. More than 100 days after his son was shot by an Aurora police officer, Robert Lewis says they're still in the dark and something needs to change now. They got this new police chief from you know, they don't need a new police chief, they need a new system, a whole new police force. This has been, this is mad. People need to wake up and understand this can't go on anymore. Protesters here say this new chief should resign and let the community be part of the next search. But if Chamberlain plans to stay they want him to sit down and find a way to rebuild their trust. Speaking with Chamberlain today, she asked if the new chief would commit to sitting down for a community meeting and he said he would. Now those here today say if that meeting does happen. They got a lot of questions for the new chief reporting live. A Rachel nine news. The heat returned today after a few days in the eighties, Denver hit 92 degrees.

We're getting a first look at the body camera video from the Miami Dade police officers who arrested Tyrik Hill hours before the Miami Dolphins game. The Dolphins wide receiver was originally pulled over for speeding yesterday near the hard rock stadium. It took just about a minute from when the officer walked over to Hill's car to when they forcibly pulled him out. Now get up, I get off, get off get out. What part of the are you understand? Hey dude, hey, Drew, I'm getting arrested, Drew, I'm getting arrested. You can hear him talking on the phone to Drew Brooks, another Dolphins player. After officers pulled, pulled Hill out of the car, they held him face down on the ground and handcuffed him. They also swore him and told him to stop crying. Hill told CNN tonight he's shocked and embarrassed. I was shocked, man. Like it, it's crazy cause it all happened so fast, man. But like for me, man, like it just all happened so fast and I really couldn't like gather everything that was happening. Several of Hill's teammates stopped to help him including Kalia Campbell, a Colorado native who played for Denver South. Officers ordered Campbell back to his car, put him in handcuffs as well. He wasn't ticketed but Hill was cited for reckless driving and driving without a license. Police say an internal investigation is underway and one officer is on administrative leave. The Republican activist behind racist signs put up along Colfax in Denver and Aurora will not face hate crime charges. Police said the bias motivated criminal statutes don't apply in this situation. Police have issued Christopher Bali of Aurora who goes by the name Sabo a municipal citation for illegal postings. The citation is actually for a separate sign incident months ago but DPD says hate crime charges won't be brought for the recent signs either. Bally is a self described Republican street artist who was nationally prominent in some circles before his history of racist writing surfaced. The citation carries a maximum penalty of up to 300 days in jail and a fine of $999 on his youtube channel. Bally said quote, this is a parking ticket but they could turn it into something bad. The signs targeting migrants and vice President Kamala Harris were put up in Denver and Aurora in late August RT D. Surveillance video shows them being put up at night. Bley took responsibility for similar signs posted outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago as well. He did not respond to our request for comment on the citation. His citation issued last week is for similar signs placed around Denver in March, pictures of those anti migrant signs appear on Bally's website and he discussed them recently on his youtube channel using a racial slur for a Latino journalist who reported on them heads up overnight closures of eastbound I 70 near the Genesee exit start tomorrow night. The eastbound lanes will be fully closed from Genesee Park to Morrison for three nights from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Instead, drivers are gonna be directed onto eastbound us. 40 crews will be replacing the overhead sign bridge over the highway. They expect this work to take three nights if you watch next, you know that we're big fans of zipper merging on that program, getting drivers to take turns when two lanes become one lane. Well, thanks to outreach from next viewers to the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles. Every new driver in our state will be told to zip it, Colorado. The soon to be released, Colorado driver handbook will have a new zipper merge paragraph explaining how to do it and ending with quote. Please respect those who wait to merge until just before the lane ends. They are doing it correctly because of you because of you. Uh we are reinforcing with the driving schools that they, when they, when they're testing or when they're speaking to students that they should also bring it up as a safety tip again. Zip, emerging not a law, it will be included in the driver handbook under the safety tips section with things like scanning the road at all times and remembering to buckle up.
