His Phone Wasn’t Pointed at Cops: Liberal Authorities in Aurora Support White Cop’s 'Right' to Murder Kilyn Lewis, Shot Unarmed Black Man Who Had His Hands Up. Unwanted Cop Keeps His Job, Not Charged
/From [HERE] The Aurora police officer who fatally shot Kilyn Lewis did not violate police policy when he fired his gun during Lewis’ arrest in May, police said in a statement released Friday.
“The Aurora Police Department has chosen not to hold Officer Dieck accountable for the life he took,” family members of Lewis said in a joint statement. “Instead, they have invited him back into the very community he betrayed. With this decision, our pain, already unbearable, has been compounded.”
Video shows Aurora Police Department (APD) SWAT members, in unmarked vehicles, surrounded Lewis, bombarding him with multiple commands. Only eight seconds into the encounter, with his hands raised and a phone in one hand, Lewis was shot by Dieck, the sole officer to fire his weapon.“The review concluded Officer (Michael) Dieck was not in violation of agency policy or misconduct,” police spokesperson Joe Moylan said in a statement.
Aurora police said Friday that the department’s Force Review Board, which includes Chief Todd Chamberlain, concluded Dieck “was not in violation of agency policy or misconduct,” according to the statement.
WHITE LIBERAL PROSECUTOR: NO CHARGES, NO CRIME COMMITTED. On October 11, John Kellner, the district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, announced his decision not to charge Dieck in a letter to Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain that was shared in a press release.
The unjust murder has prompted protests at Aurora City Council meetings and outside city hall. Community activist Auontai Anderson highlighted the disparity in APD’s response: white mass shooters are arrested without harm, while unarmed Black individuals face lethal force. He specifically referenced the Aurora theater shooter, who murdered 12 innocent people just down the street from the municipal building and was arrested without incident. This obvious racial bias erodes public trust and undermines safety in Aurora, pushing the community to a breaking point. [MORE]

Body-worn camera video shows that Kilyn Lewis was holding a cellphone with both hands up when an Aurora Police officer wearing a military costume shot and killed him. The race soldier cop who shot him stood about 25 feet away from Lewis. Apparently, the cop has claimed that a cell phone looks just like a gun to him.
Three (3) camera angles show the 37-year-old Lewis behind a red Chevy Monte Carlo with both hands visible when SWAT teams attempted to arrest him in connection to an attempted homicide that occurred earlier that month. Three officers shout multiple commands and Lewis can be seen putting his left hand into his pocket and his right hand behind his back as he turns toward two of the officers.
He then puts both hands up and is holding a black cell phone in his right hand. He does not point the cell phone at the officers. Officer Michael Dieck, one of three surrounding Lewis, fired a single shot from his rifle.
RACIST AUTHORITIES IN CITY CONTROLLED BY ELITE WHITE LIBERALS. The murder of Elijah McClain led to a patterns and practices investigation by Attorney General Phil Weiser, revealing APD’s racially biased policing. This investigation spurred the solicitation for an independent monitor to oversee the reforms, training, and oversight of a Consent Decree. Despite these measures, the Consent Decree’s five-year agreement, starting in February 2022, has not curbed the racist policing that continues to claim Black lives. [MORE]
