The things we're reviewing are we've done more than 1200 of these, and this is the first time I've ever heard of an incident like this where there's ever been an officer injured or ever had a difficulty. So 90% of releases normally happen at Denver's downtown jail. This one happened Smith Road. So we're determining, is it something about the setup there? Is it something about the communication about how their officers responded? (01:57–02:01)
