Rocky Mountain News - Brief Article

Reason, April, 2001 by Charles Oliver

* Denver police arrested 147 people in no-knock drug raids in 1999, according to the Rocky Mountain News. But just 49 of those people were ultimately charged with felonies, and only two were sentenced to prison time. By comparison, 21 percent of all felony defendants in Denver that year were sentenced to prison.
