The Aurora sh*t show just got sh*ttier.
Speaking generally about the tough decisions she made in the name of reforming the department, Wilson said,"What I did is not popular. I understand that. Leadership is not a popularity contest." However, she stressed that"this isn't about me. It's about making sure we have leaders in the police department in this city, in this state and across the country that are willing to stand up to unions...and are willing to fire officers who are doing it wrong.
Still, Wilson was the main attraction, and she spoke passionately about her admiration for the APD and its members:"I want the community to know that this police department right now has men and women out there answering calls for service that took this oath not because of me, but because of what is in their hearts — and the vast majority of officers in the Aurora Police Department embraced the changes that are coming, are excited about the changes that the consent decree will implement:...
After these remarks, Wilson invited questions from the media. The first involved why Aurora City Manager Jim Twombly sent her packing on April 6."I can only go with what the city manager told me he fired me for, which was overall leadership and overall management," she replied."To that, I say, 'Sir, you're very wrong.'"
Wilson acknowledged that the reported records backlog was a problem but maintained that"we have been dealing with this for years. This is not a revelation. This was, for lack of a better term, a convenient moment for them to disparage me, and that's the bottom line."
