I think you're approaching this incorrectly. 

Their statement is political and alarming in the context of Denver's liberal democracy. It's an intolerable defiance of that liberal democratic system. This political schism represented in the executive power of local law enforcement must be ended. To whatever extent it exists, it embodies a fallen and failed state of government in Denver.

Therefore, what are denizens of Denver to do with their failed government? They have no use for such failure; it potentially harbors the will to interfere with The People's business wherever such external and foreign-to-Colorado politically-derived conflicts-of-interest arise, does it not?
