@@@ DENVER (CBS4) Denver s Department of Safety announced on Tuesday that they have fired two deputies who were both involved in situations where inmates in the Denver Jail were treated with inappropriate use of force. The more high profile case was that of former deputy Edward Keller. Keller allegedly choked inmate Jamal Hunter on July 31, 2011, and then threw him to the ground before another deputy shocked Hunter with a stun gun. The incident was captured on the jail s video security <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Authentic-Wallet-Group-Coupons.html>Gucci Group</a> system. The alleged attack on Jamal Hunter (credit: Denver Sheriff s Department) Last month the city approved a $3.25 million settlement for Hunter. The city stated in a prepared statement that Keller was being fired for his willful disregard <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Shoulder-Bags-Continental-Wallet-Watchs.html>Gucci Continental Wallet</a> of the guiding principles to provide for the care, safety, and security of inmates.
His egregious misconduct is unacceptable and unbefitting the title of Deputy Sheriff, the city s news release stated.
The city also announced the firing of Deputy Thomas Ford, who they say used inappropriate force in a separate case. Ford allegedly punched an inmate who had allegedly been taunting him. The city states he struck the inmate in the face with a closed fist at a time when he posed no credible threat and subsequently kicked the inmate while he was on the ground. That incident was also captured on security video.
(Ford s) conduct was found to violate the Department鈥檚 <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Hobo-Men-Wallet-Rainboots.html>Gucci Rainboots</a> use of force policy in several respects, city officials wrote.
The firings come as the Denver Sheriff s Department is in the midst of making reforms after these and other misconduct cases.
