The 15-year-old's death led to increased transparency and citizen oversight in Denver.
"Yesterday, we celebrated the Fourth of July, a day dedicated to the freedoms that should be afforded to all Americans — life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Today, we grieve that not all Americans have enjoyed the same freedoms and justice as others, particularly those in underserved communities. Today, we remember Paul Childs," the City of Denver Citizen Oversight Board said in a written statement Wednesday.On July 5, 2003, he was at his home when his life was cut short.
The responding officer was suspended for 10 months for ordering Childs to come out of the house and drop the knife when the officer arrived on scene, rather than speaking with the family first. The Citizen Oversight Board is also responsible for selecting and supervising the head of the Office of the Independent Monitor.
