AURORA POLICE STATED:
"Over the past 24 hours, a four-second video has been widely posted on social media of an Aurora Police traffic stop that occurred on Thursday, August 6th on the city’s west side.
The video posted on social media shows a woman being removed from a vehicle by an Aurora Police officer. The four-second video only shows an extremely short portion of the traffic stop and doesn’t provide any information about what happened. Unfortunately, a false narrative is being spread on social media and people have rushed to judgment, without having all the facts.
In an effort to provide complete transparency to the community and tell the entire story, the Aurora Police Department is releasing the dash camera video of what happened and a lengthy narrative of the incident.
Social media posts have falsely claimed that the woman did not get out of the vehicle because she could not walk and requires the use of braces, a wheelchair, and a walker. In fact, the woman walks on her own throughout the incident and never tells the officers of any pre-existing conditions or injuries."
