Vigil last night-meeting tomorrow night

The vigil for Frank Lobato, the man murdered by Denver cops, took place last night.  His family is in town and they were in attendance. The Rocky Mountain News  carried a report in today's edition.

The vigil held outside La Alma Recreation Center just blocks from the shooting site in a west Denver housing project inevitably turned into a political rally.

Fliers were handed out advertising a meeting with Mayor John Hickenlooper scheduled for Tuesday, to be followed by a rally Wednesday.

"We have to find some way to take charge of our city again, to make it ours instead of just the people with money, the people with power," said American Indian Movement activist George "Tink" Tinker.

"The police can't hurt him now," Tinker said, turning toward Lobato's family members.

Family spokesman LeRoy Lemos demanded changes in the Denver Police Department, beginning with the resignation of Chief Gerry Whitman and including charges filed against police officer Ranjan Ford Jr., who shot Lobato.

"At some point these tragedies and tears and vigils have to stop," Lemos said. "Denver police are never held accountable."  full article
