Three Boulder Journalists on SUPRESSION of news by Boulder Police and Council Boulder Colorado May 2, 2026 Boulder Channel 1 News Feature These are excerpts from 4 boulder journalists who cover crime. They have been hog tied by Boulder Police department and Boulder city council. c1n.tv/boulderchannel…

Sorry @JasonCrowCO is our senator His rank of Captain hardly qualifies him to question Sec Major Hegseth and the entire US MILITARY.. all of his tactical assumptions are wrong The US military entered 🇮🇷 Iran with overwhelming force 10 times that of Iran Their one set goal is to have 1 Iran surrender 2. Take their oil and sell it in a 70/ 30 split 3. Control the Staites 4. Eliminate nukes 5. A regime change It's working Think WWII

Dem. Rep. Jason Crow, who is a veteran, casts doubt on the Pentagon's assessment that the Iran war has cost $25 billion. "That is a low ball number. It's probably 2 or 3 times that — guaranteed."

@kaitlancollins @ksadjadpour That is a preposterous lie by the Ooohla....Glomdoolahhs. in Iran's leadershit.. next they will promise 30 virgins and 10 young boys to each suicide martyrs for Allah

"To give you a sign of the desperate measures [Iran is] contemplating, the Wall Street Journal reported today that they're contemplating suicide dolphins, you know, dolphins equipped with mines to try to go after U.S. ships," @ksadjadpour says. "That's not a that's not a measure which projects real strength."

@kaitlancollins You really are missing this whole thing Read about Rosevelt, Truman, , the 8th airforce. They bombed the Germans and Japanesse into submission ..thats what Trump is doing and he won't stop until Iran Surrenders He will not stop .get it??

Sen. Rick Scott on how much he's willing to spend on the Iran war: "I don't know how you put a price tag on... somebody's ability to kill you?"

@RepNancyMace Oh Stop!.Jesus

We're calling on the Department of Justice to indict former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress before the five-year statute of limitations expires on May 11. Anthony Fauci looked Congress in the eye and lied under oath about funding research tied to a pandemic killing millions of people worldwide, which he then used as justification to shut down our country. Former President Biden issued a blanket autopen pardon to Fauci on his final day in office covering unspecified offenses dating back to 2014. We have serious questions about the validity of the pardon. The American people deserve to know what was really happening when they were forced into quarantine, masked and forcibly vaccinated in some cases. David Morens, a former senior NIAID official who worked directly under Dr. Fauci, has been indicted. This mishandling came from the top. The investigation should start there too.

@RepSaraJacobs You are full of crap...

I asked Secretary Hegseth a straightforward, yes or no question today: Is Donald Trump mentally stable enough to be Commander in Chief? He didn't say yes. And that speaks volumes.

City of Boulder to Continue Drought Watch Following 2026 Water Supply Evaluation City asks community members to help conserve water by limiting watering to 2 times a week BOULDER, Colo. – Every year by May 1, the City of Boulder evaluates its current water supply conditions to determine if a specific drought response is needed. Despite the ongoing hot and dry conditions, the city has determined that mandatory water restrictions are not necessary at this time and will remain in Drought Watch. Under Drought Watch, the city is encouraging continued voluntary reductions in water use throughout the summer. The city also has permanent rules to prevent water waste, including a new rule that restricts running sprinkler systems from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. to water lawns. Sustained water conservation throughout the summer can help preserve the community’s water supply if dry conditions continue into next year. Important recommended actions community members can take at this time include limiting watering of lawns to 2 times per week, watering for the weather, and saving water indoors. Limit watering to 2 times per week Water lawns no more than two times per week according to the schedule below. Large properties and heavily used common areas, including parks, athletic fields and schools, may need additional watering days to keep grass alive for community use. Recommended Watering Schedule Customer Type Watering Days Single Family Residential: even-numbered addresses Sunday and Thursday Single Family Residential: odd-numbered addresses Wednesday and Saturday All others (including multi-family, commercial, and metered irrigation) Tuesday and Friday Water for the weather Landscapes require different amounts of water based on the weather. Typically, plants need more water during hotter periods and less during cooler or wetter times of the year. Program sprinkler systems accordingly and remember to avoid watering when it rains. Also, using water in accordance with customer water budgets can save water and money; more information may be found on the Water Budgets webpage. Save water indoors There are many ways to reduce your water use inside. Take a shorter shower, turn off the tap while brushing teeth and wait to run your clothes and dishwasher until full.

JASON Crowe is full of crap. Absolutely has no idea how to fight a war and win @kaitlancollins @JasonCrowCO @PeteHegseth @DeptofWar

The Colorado Rockies' @Rockies @DrewGoodman42 shift toward a data-driven approach was a direct response to reaching rock bottom in 2025. After a franchise-worst 119 losses, the organization initiated a complete "front-office makeover" The most significant catalyst was the departure of longtime General Manager Bill Schmidt in October 2025. To replace the old internal promotion structure, the Rockies brought in prominent outside voices Paul DePodesta: Named President of Baseball Operations. Known as a key figure in the original "Moneyball" era, he was hired to bring a modern, analytic philosophy to the club. Josh Byrnes: Appointed as General Manager. Byrnes brought experience from high-performing organizations like the Los Angeles Dodgers. Before this shift, the team's data systems were described as "pieced-together" and "inefficient". The new leadership focused on:  MLB.com Cloud-Based Systems: Transitioning to a more user-friendly, cohesive data platform for players and coaches. Performance Labs: Fully embracing technology like the Trajekt Arc pitching machine, which allows hitters to simulate facing specific opposing pitchers using real-game data.  3. Reimagining Pitching at Altitude  A core part of the "numbers" transition was solving the historical difficulty of pitching at Coors Field. The team hired a "game-changing" pitching staff—including Pitching Coach Alon Leichman and Director of Pitching Matt Daniels—to focus on:  Pitch Design: Using data to tailor "pitch shapes" and repertoires that remain effective in thin air. Data-Driven Arsenals: Moving toward larger pitch mixes to make pitchers harder to game-plan against.  KJCT +1 Would you like to see a comparison of the Rockies' current pitching stats against their 2025 numbers? The "Moneyball" era has officially arrived in Colorado for the 2026 season. After a catastrophic 119-loss season in 2025, the Rockies pivoted from their traditional internal promotions to hiring Paul DePodesta—the actual "Moneyball" architect—to overhaul the franchise.  This offseason marked a complete philosophical shift, bringing in experienced outside voices to modernize one of MLB's most Paul DePodesta: Named President of Baseball Operations after a decade in the NFL. He is building a specialized model to account for Coors Field's altitude.  Josh Byrnes: Hired as General Manager from the Los Angeles Dodgers. He brings expertise in drafting and international scouting, aiming to create a "Dodgers clone at elevation". Expansion of Staff: The team added multiple assistant GMs and a specialized "pitching apparatus" focused strictly on pitch design and Early "Moneyball" Results (April 2026) While still early, the statistical turnaround has been immediate compared to the disaster of 2025.  Metric 2025 Full Season2026 (Through April 28)Record43–119 (.265)13–17 (.433)Team ERA6.65 (Last in MLB)4.07 (T-15th)K/BB Ratio1.96 (30th)2.46 The new leadership is focusing on specific, data-driven marginal gains rather than expensive free-agent splashes.  Sports Illustrated Solving Altitude: The pitching staff is using advanced technology like the Trajekt Arc and Trackman data to redesign "pitch shapes" specifically for the thin air. "The Vibe" and Detail: Manager Warren Schaeffer has focused on base running and defensive execution—areas where the Rockies previously lagged. Roster Flexibility: GM Josh Byrnes has encouraged "tractability," playing young stars like Cole Carrigg and Hunter Goodman at multiple positions to maximize their impact.  Purple Row +4 The Rockies reached their 13th win on April 26th this year; in 2025, they didn't hit that mark until June Would you like a breakdown of how individual pitching prospects like Chase Dollander are performing under this new system Paul DePodesta's Rockies move: 'Moneyball' at a midlife crisis or ...

@kaitlancollins Is that the :"Nasty Award?"

A shout out to CNN's entire team as I accept the WHCA award for excellence in presidential news coverage under deadline pressure tomorrow night.

@ailanyus Yes

Would you support this?

@otokyo__ She's 27 and hot

Do you think Karoline Leavitt's photo is inappropriate for a White House Press Secretary? Be honest.

@LongTimeHistory Don't mess w Ice

ICE punch a 16-year-old boy in the face. Agent then violently detains a 14-year-old girl putting his hands around her neck. Both kids are U.S. citizens. Incident occurred in the Pueblo de Palmas neighborhood of Edinburg in Hidalgo County, Texas—in the Rio Grande Valley.

Hey U.S NAVY @USNavy @SecWar How about sinking all those Iranian fast boats taking Tankers and attacking ships in Straits of Hormouz. That's your job. Stop them ! #IranWar‌ LETS GO LETS GO. Shut it down @PressSec @realDonaldTrump

Todd R posts Boulder Scanner Crime News Alt Blotter 4/21 A few recent tidbits. But first, an update from crime-reporting land… Information sharing about crime in Boulder is at an all-time low. Beginning around January, the police department has been processing my requests for reports at a snail’s pace. After submitting a request, I used to hear back typically within 2-3 business days. Recently, that average has stretched into 2-3 weeks. (I wish I were exaggerating—I’m not.) Even then, my requests are often still denied. It’s not cheap either. Reports are starting at $7 each now. Supposing that Boulder has 10 noteworthy incidents per day during the summer (which is conservative), and supposing you could actually get all of those materials, you’re looking at monthly expenses ~$2,000. Again, that’s a conservative estimate. With body camera footage, the problem is even worse. Footage from one incident can cost hundreds of dollars, take months to process, and be heavily redacted. It used to be that you’d pay a small fee for the whole case file and get it almost immediately. That’s on top of various other recent changes. The police scanner is fully encrypted. The city’s datasets are an unintelligible mess. BPD’s own social media accounts share a negligible amount of information. Unless you were directly involved—as a victim or witness—you would likely never know that a serious crime occurred at all. I support professional law enforcement, in theory. However, that presumes a reasonable amount of transparency and accountability, which we don’t currently have. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2/3 4747 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder Community Health 8:06 AM Officers responded to the hospital regarding a woman who was reportedly being combative and had punched a security guard. They spoke with the guard, who said the woman had been discharged but was refusing to leave. He left to get her some food, which she had asked for; when he returned, she had punched him “one time in the genital area.” The woman was arrested and charged with 3rd degree assault and 3rd degree trespassing. ~~~~~~~~~~ 2/12 1001 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder Public Library 11:22 AM Officers responded regarding a disturbance at the main library. The reporting party, a staff member, told them a man had run into the library stating someone was chasing him with a knife. Officers contacted the victim, who was described as “heavily intoxicated and belligerent”. He reported that he had been near a seating area along the creek (“the red rocks”) when another male approached him while yelling about raping children. The victim said he told the suspect to watch what he was saying because children were nearby. According to the victim, the suspect responded by spitting on him twice and punching him in the face. A witness was able to confirm that a physical confrontation occurred and that the suspect had been “screaming and hollering.” No witness reported seeing a weapon. Officers began searching the area for the suspect. At approximately 11:46 AM, a police sergeant was approached at 13th and Pearl by another individual who reported that a man matching the suspect’s description had just harassed and spit on him. The sergeant contacted the suspect, who fled on foot. Another officer arrived and drew a taser, and they were able to take the suspect into custody. While in custody, the suspect used racial slurs toward officers and spit on one of them. Officers applied a spit sock and began escorting him to a patrol vehicle. The suspect then began physically resisting, at one point grabbing an officer’s holstered firearm. During the continued struggle, the suspect was able to spit on another officer despite the spit sock. A second spit sock was applied, but he was still able to spit on a paramedic. He continued using racial slurs throughout the encounter and was ultimately sedated by paramedics. Officers also contacted a security guard near the restrooms at 13th and Pearl, who reported a prior disturbance involving the same individual around 9:40 AM. The guard said the suspect had used racial, ethnic, and homophobic slurs, threatened to shoot him in the head, and spit at him. Officers later determined the suspect had two outstanding warrants, including a Denver assault warrant (non-extraditable) and a Boulder FTA warrant. He was arrested. ~~~~~~~~~ 2/21 1236 Canyon Blvd, Central Park 5:30 PM Officers responded to an assault in Central Park involving two individuals. According to the victim, the encounter began as a discussion about money and quickly escalated. The suspect became agitated and attempted to take the victim’s belongings, grabbing a large bag without permission. During the struggle, the suspect struck the victim and then threw some of the victim’s belongings—including bags—into a nearby waterway. The victim reported minor pain but declined medical treatment. Officers later reviewed surveillance footage from the area, which showed the suspect approaching, grabbing the bag, striking the victim, and throwing items into the water. The suspect was contacted shortly afterward and denied assaulting the victim, instead claiming the victim initiated the confrontation. He was taken into custody, charged with robbery, criminal attempt, assault, and criminal mischief. ~~~~~~~~~~ 2/21 32xx Arapahoe Ave 11:30 PM Officers responded regarding a report that a male had thrown a rock into a business. They located him walking north on 33rd St with his bicycle. He was initially verbally antagonistic, but later cooperative when handcuffed. Officers spoke with the security guards who had asked the man to leave the premises. They said he held up a rock, as if he were going to throw it at their vehicle, but then threw it at a nearby building instead. The man was arrested and charged with criminal mischief and menacing. ~~~~~~~~~~ 2/22 Spruce St & Junction Pl 10:20 PM Officers conducted a traffic stop after observing a vehicle fail to stop at a posted sign. During the stop, officers observed drug paraphernalia in plain view inside the vehicle, which led to a search. The search uncovered additional paraphernalia, small baggies consistent with drug distribution, and a substance that tested presumptively positive for fentanyl. The fentanyl was found in small blue square pieces and weighed several grams—an amount officers noted was larger than typical personal use. A syringe containing a substance that tested positive for amphetamines was also recovered. Both occupants initially denied ownership of the drugs. One later claimed ownership and was taken into custody. The other was cited for traffic and drug-related violations and released. The vehicle was impounded due to ownership and insurance issues. The charges included distribution/possession with intent, possession of fentanyl, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving without a valid license, and operating an uninsured vehicle. ~~~~~~~~~~ 2/24 1440 Pine St, Attention Homes 10:45 AM Officers responded to a report of a male yelling inside an apartment building. Staff directed officers to the individual, who declined to engage and instead returned to his unit. Staff indicated concerns about his behavior and possible non-compliance with court-ordered conditions. A records check revealed an active felony warrant related to a prior vehicular assault case and failure to comply with probation terms. The individual was later contacted in the hallway and taken into custody without incident. ~~~~~~~~~~ (Date redacted to protect the victim - this was in late February) University Hill 1:30 AM Officers took a report of online threats directed at an individual staying outside near the Fox Theatre. The victim reported receiving a series of direct messages on Facebook from a man they knew. They also provided police with a screen recording of the messages. The messages included threatening, derogatory, and at times graphic language which are detailed in the report. Some messages referenced firearms, and others included insults and comments referencing gender identity. In one message, the suspect wrote: “Colorado, where men can’t be men, so they choose to be women. Obviously, he won the bar fight.” The messages were reported to police as threatening. Officers later identified the suspect. He was arrested and booked into the Boulder County Jail on charges including harassment and a bias-motivated crime related to intimidation. ~~~~~~~~~~ 2/27 1400 Walnut St, RTD 9:30 AM Officers responded to a trespassing complaint involving a male who had been causing a disturbance at the RTD station. A security guard reported that a man had been yelling loudly on the property and was asked to quiet down or leave. Instead, the suspect became verbally aggressive and escalated into making explicit threats, including statements that he would kill the guard, cut his head off, and kill his family. He also made erratic and disturbing statements referencing the guard’s mother. The security guard stated he feared for his safety given the intensity and escalation of the threats. During the encounter, the suspect also threw an empty alcoholic beverage container toward him from approximately eight feet away, though it did not strike him. Officers contacted the suspect nearby. He was cited for menacing. He was not arrested. There is more in comment #1 below 👇👇👇 Todd R. 2d· Author ·Whittier 3/26 (A dispensary in central Boulder) 3:40 PM Officers responded regarding a trash can on fire. By the time police and fire arrived, the manager of the business had extinguished it with a fire extinguisher. Per the report, “The fire was started near propane tanks and an active gas line.” Officers reviewed video of the suspect, a male in a wheelchair whom they recognized. Another witness described seeing the male pouring an unknown liquid into the trash can before throwing something else in, causing it to combust into flames. Officers contacted the suspect, who was laying on the ground next to his wheelchair, about a block away. When asked if he’d started a trash can on fire, he said “Not today.” He handed over a lighter and had two more when he was searched, along with a used glass bubble pipe. He admitted drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana. The suspect was transported to the hospital due to sores on his body. He was later arrested and booked for 4th degree arson, drug paraphernalia possession, and an FTA for obstructing public streets. ~~~~~~~~~~ 3/28 1777 Broadway, the Municipal building 3:02 PM Officers on foot patrol observed a male yelling at someone on the bike path on the south side of the building. He was holding what appeared to be a knife. An officer unholstered his firearm and gave commands to the suspect to drop it, which he did. It was later determined to be a multitool with a knife blade. The man was conversationally elusive and provided varying information about his identity. He said another person had chased him, making him fear for his life. The other male, who was eventually identified, said he had been hit in the face with a rock and believed it was the first male. A police supervisor arrived on scene and spoke with the first male. He explained that, despite the man’s claims, this incident did not rise to the level of self-defense. No one was charged in this incident. ~~~~~~~~~~ 3/29 (A business near 13th and Canyon) 2:26 AM An officer responded regarding a male throwing rocks at business windows. When contacted, the man walked away and cursed at him. The officer finally took him down by force. During this, the man unsuccessfully tried to hit the officer in the face. One window was later identified as cracked but not broken. When searched, the male had a 3” rock in his back pocket, consistent with reports. He admitted throwing rocks at another business nearby. He was examined by paramedics for a minor abrasion on his elbow from being taken down. He was then taken to jail on multiple charges. *** According to multiple previous police reports, the suspect has a history of breaking windows at businesses in order to steal items. He got a summons in February for spitting in a man’s face who was trying to escort him out of the courthouse on the Pearl Street Mall after being previously trespassed for stealing. *** ~~~~~~~~~~ 3/29 (A fast food restaurant in central Boulder) 6:10 AM Officers responded to a report of an attempted assault. A restaurant manager had unlocked the bathroom for a male she recognized, whom she believed to be unhoused, and who was inside for about 10 minutes. A short time later, the manager observed the male near the dumpsters outside. She asked him to leave approximately five times. He became antagonistic, yelling and cursing at her. Finally, he rushed at her and swung his bike at her, attempting to strike her with it, but missed. The manager described being so scared she was shaking. The male was not identified. ~~~~~~~~~~ 3/31 (Location redacted - I believe this was at Attention Homes) 10:31 PM Officers responded regarding a burglary in progress. Dispatch advised a male with a skateboard and backpack had broken into the unit, then ran away westbound from the building after being contacted by security. A security guard advises he saw the suspect crouching in front of the door before making entry. When the guard approached the door, the male refused to come out, saying that the unit’s resident was inside but asleep. About five minutes later, the male exited, ran down the hall, and fled the building. The guard says he had seen the male in the building before, sometimes visiting another unit, but didn’t know his name. Officers forced entry into the unit for a welfare check on the resident, who was not at home. They recovered a makeshift string device which the suspect had used to gain entry. The resident later told police he’d been away for a few days, knew the suspect’s first name but no other information (only that he was not a resident), and confirmed he had not given permission to enter his unit. He said he didn’t know why the male entered his unit. On 4/1 (the following morning), about 10 AM, officers responded to a report of a female in distress nearby. She didn’t want to talk to them and walked away. An officer recognized the male she was with from prior photos as the suspect from the night before. He told officers he had permission from the resident to be there. He said he went by to lock the unit, since he’d heard there were others trying to break in. The suspect was given a summons for 1st degree criminal trespass of an unoccupied dwelling and released on scene. Reply Share 📷 3 Trish M. 2d·Lower Chautauqua 📷 thank you once again for your unbiased reporting regarding these terrible events. I’ve been watching the trend by the Red Rocks (Library creek area), kids play area and the Municipal building. The trends of embedded drug use are quite disturbing in April. I don’t see any camp cleanups happening here, despite SAMPS $3.7M budget (See pics)To Todd R. 2d· Author ·Whittier I've never told you guys my origin story for how I got started doing this. There is one. DeWitt H. 1d·Wonderland Hills Todd I'm sure it's a great story. I'm all ears. Mary B. 2d·Dakota Ridge Todd: I know I donated a couple years ago when it was this issue on top of a real crime wave. I can’t remember how I got the money to you. Are you comfortable with posting that here? I wrote a private message to you as well in case you are not. A lot of people really appreciate what you do and it’s too bad we couldn’t have a “tip jar”. It seems like 2200 people would give a dollar a month but maybe 22 people would give 100 a month or 100 people would give $22 a month. I resent giving any money a month to the daily camera when they don’t report news but it is the only paper we have. But still I feel those of us who care and are able should help in what way we can. For you to do all the work and the waiting and so on and then still pay on top of it seems “not right.” And honestly I haven’t been wanting to even read it lately. I gave up social media for lent in the first couple weeks felt like heaven. Of course I did some backlighting as I missed pictures of Eagles and sunsets but… Here I am. I’m reminded of all the work you do so please private message or post here if you please? Thank You!

Thanks for doing this as city council would rather look the other way..... James Davis 2d·Heatherwood Every component of the microculture within Boulder and the surrounding suburbia boils down to image management. That is the primary modus operandi and modality of thought behind every municipal decision made, every policy implemented, every content redaction, everything. Don’t you understand? Nobody can know Boulder isn’t a perfect utopia. If the public catches wind that real life takes place within the boundaries of Boulder then we won’t be able to charge 7 figures for a 900 square foot house anymore. Todd R. ·Whittier James This city’s progressive leaders don’t care about public safety, only the perception of it. It’s why they don’t talk to their own police chief anymore, and their supporters malign community members like me who dare to bring it up. Unfortunately, it only makes things worse, as residents don’t know what to expect and are easy prey for the seasoned criminal. Marlene C. 2d·East Boulder Thank you Todd. Maybe the City should focus on clearing up what’s going on down there, and not bulldozing buildings that house small businesses and people’s livelihoods #Mustards Kathi McGee 1d·East Boulder What is the big secret? Why do the city and BPD hide these crime stats from tax paying citizens? Sundance? We have the right to know what’s happening in our city. Thank you Todd, for keeping us informed as unsettling as the truth is. Trish M. 1d·Lower Chautauqua regarding your statement: "...a reasonable amount of transparency and accountability, which we don’t currently have." There is a Colorado Crime Dashboard, that typically posts key crime information from Boulder Police Department on a regular basis (usually only a month or two delay in posting crime trends). Funny, I notice ZERO Violent Crime data is being reported to the State in 2026. You are right, there is no transparency or accountability now. (see sample pic)Todd Trish I would also take issue with the idea that crime can be discussed only in statistics. Ask anyone who’s been assaulted, got their bike stolen, etc. whether they were just a statistic. The pain is real. Trish M. 23h·Lower Chautauqua Todd I absolutely agree with you--I regularly read the Bike Index stolen bike reports, and it is quite upsetting to read the stories of how they locked their bikes, went to work and then come back to no bike and lock parts on the ground. And, no good way to replace their only transportation. To the point of the charts: for BPD not to provide data at all to the State is concerning--we are in a void of real news these days. Reply
