Perry sent that video along with a brag that he was a "big, tough, lawman."
The investigation expanded after we brought this to the attention of @GilpinSheriff. @jeffcosheriffco found Perry had a pattern of sharing body cam without permission & issued a summons.

We found nearly $900,000 was spent on the Nuggets parade and celebration.
A third of that was taxpayer dollars spent by Denver for their employees to work the event -- mostly police overtime.

NEW: The @nuggets celebration confetti has long been cleared away & $900k in bills have been paid
I went through the receipts & found the companies & community orgs picked up most of the tab.
But -- $300k in tax dollars went to pay city employees. Most of that went to police.
