‘Please Don’t Let Me Die Back Here’: Aurora Police Video Released Of Woman Cuffed, Hogtied In Back Of Patrol Car

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson said bodycam video released Tuesday appears to show one of her former officers, Levi Huffine, “punishing” a female prisoner who was handcuffed, hogtied and rode upside down in the back of a patrol car for more than 20 minutes following her arrest in August 2019.

“In my opinion she was just tortured back there. It makes me sick,” said Wilson after watching the video again Tuesday, during a civil service commission appeal hearing for Officer Levi Huffine, who was fired over the incident. “We are not judge, jury and executer,” said Wilson. “We are not to treat people inhumanely like they don’t matter.

“And he is lucky she did not die in the backseat of that car. Because he would be — in my opinion — in an orange jumpsuit right now,” said Wilson.

(Snip)

Chief Wilson said she lost count of how many times Kelly asked for help. Wilson said she was particularly struck at how panicked and desperate Kelly seemed to be at one point, saying, “I beg you master.”

1. We really have to hope that this asshole doesn't get his job back. - n/t

[Alacritous Crier]

2. Oh, he'll be working in another department somewhere in the USA before long.

[marble falls]

20. That's the problem: all we have is a hope he doesn't get his job back. We have no hope ...

at he he will be charged and tried.

This is an outrage on several different levels.

[Lochloosa]

3. He should be in n orange jump suit now.

[Evolve Dammit]

4. So torture is fine for "police". This sadistic POS should be in prison.

[3Hotdogs]

5. Why isn't the county or state prosecutor bringing charges?

[jaxexpat]

21. How? The only evidence is what you can plainly see on the video. Obviously that's not adequate.

You can't trust your lying eyes. Did a trusted friend text it? If it were enough to prosecute the wealthy or caucasian LEO's, then the whole justice system would collapse.

It would be chaos. A madman in the oval office, soulless greed mongers in 60% of the statehouses and the US a mockery of it's former self, leaving a world that looks to China for leadership.

Can't do that. Wouldn't be prudent.

6. Horrible!!!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

7. FTP. ACAB.

[LittleGirl]

8. Unbelievable.

What the hell? 20 minutes like that? And he couldn’t hear her?
I’m furious that anyone would be treated like that.

[Illumination]

9. Wonder what else this so called "officer" has done illegally in my state...

[PatSeg]

11. Yes

Its highly unlikely this was just a one time incident.

Absolutely chilling to watch.

[Illumination]

12. Right PatSeg. In Colorado Aurora is #3 for violence. Just hope she gets justice!...

[PatSeg]

13. Aurora police sure seem to show up in the news

an awful lot these days. Sounds like the department needs a major purging. That poor girl is traumatized for life, she certainly does deserve justice.

What is public sentiment like in Aurora about the police incidents?

[Illumination]

15. Yes. She will have P.T.S. D. for sure! Don't know about the public sentiment I live in Boulder

which is N.W. of there. Have a wonderful view of the Flatirons...

[PatSeg]

19. Boulder must be a beautiful place to live

[Illumination]

23. IT IS! El Dorado Canyon is just a few miles away. Have only been there once but it's a very

popular place. There's a mineral pool. Always remember lots of dragonflies. The rock formations
are multi-colored & you can watch the rock climbers (risking their lives)...! They climb the Flatirons also. I always have to laugh because so many people only think of Colorado in terms of marijuana! It just shows how little they know about the state! Colorado is wonderful & has a lot to offer! Especially Summit County where I used to live. Breckenridge is absolutely breathtaking! In January they hold the International Snow Sculpture Championships. At night the sculptures are lite up with different colored lights. I could go on, but I'll spare you.
Good chatting with you again PatSeg! Hope all is well with your family!

[PatSeg]

24. Oh yes

I've always thought of the scenery and majestic mountains when I think of Colorado, a little bit of heaven on earth.

Nice talking with you as well!

[Illumination]

25. You be well PatSeg & take good care! Over & out!

[barbtries]

10. isn't torture a crime?

prosecute the man.

[lostnfound]

14. This is so horrible I can't bring myself to share it.

So sick of these police. They aren’t professionals. They are worse than animals.
Wish the “good ones” would wake up and force change in their own ranks.

[LuckyCharms]

16. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

[Midnightwalk]

17. Incredibly blind

“And he is lucky she did not die in the backseat of that car. Because he would be — in my opinion — in an orange jumpsuit right now,” said Wilson.

That makes absolutely no sense. The cops should be arrested. Period. Death should just be a factor in what the charges are.

The chief and other cops can’t see how they just accept assaults by cops. They can’t imagine them being arrested for being violent criminals.

The standard has to be to act on non-lethal assaults not wait until it results in death before thinking - maybe - something should be done.

They keep revealing their true thoughts.

22. +1000000

[johnthewoodworker]

18. Your local PD. The best gang in town. Commit crimes with no charges. Hope the kids are paying

attention.

[live love laugh]

26. Totally fucked up nt
