Three Denver police officers accused of joking about going to newcomer shelters for “target practice” have been fired.
The Denver Police Department began investigating the officers — identified as Rodrigo Basurto, Meagan Joy and Scot Persichette — in April after it learned of “disturbing messages that were shared in a group chat,” a spokesperson said.
A newcomer shelter provides temporary housing for refugees and migrants.
“I’m one of the good ones.”
