The Aurora Police Department has been problematic for years. Their new chief seems to be determined to not sweep things under the rug. Based on a google news search, "failing to intervene" seems to be a rare charge.
The arrest was captured on body-camera footage and released by the police department during a media briefing on July 27. The victim, 29-year-old Kyle Vinson, can be heard pleading with the officers, telling them he couldn’t breath and yelling that they were going to kill him.
Martinez is being criminally charged with two misdemeanor offenses for failure to intervene and report use of force, according to Aurora police Chief Vanessa Wilson. Martinez has been with the department for six years.
