People line up for the Merry Go Round at Lakeside Amusement Park in Lakeside, Colorado on Thursday, June 27, 2024. (Photo by Zachary Spindler-Krage/The Denver Post) Cheerful calliope music blared as the merry-go-round spun at Lakeside Amusement Park, harkening back to the sounds of an old-time carnival at this 116-year-old theme park just off the northwest side of Denver. Screams from teenage thrill-seekers riding the Spider, the Scrambler and the Wild Chipmunk punctuated the music as they whirled, flipped and raced on the same rides their parents and grandparents enjoyed when they were young.

Jefferson County officials have agreed to pay a former inmate $500,000 to settle a 2022 incident in which jail surveillance video shows deputies drop the handcuffed man on his face. On the night of Nov. 20, 2022, sheriff’s deputies at the Jefferson County jail were escorting then-53-year-old Fredrick Fisk, with his hands cuffed behind his back, to a medical observation unit because he was having a mental health episode, according to an incident report from the sheriff’s office. In surveillance footage from the jail, Fisk can be seen stopping in the hallway and refusing to walk forward. The video doesn’t have sound, but the incident report claims Fisk was verbally aggressive, threatening “to spit and saying he was going to kill all of them.” After approximately two minutes of Fisk refusing to move, the video shows deputies grab Fisk’s legs and sweep them out from under him, slamming him face-first into the floor. When deputies rolled Fisk onto his side, the video showed a pool of blood left behind on the floor where his face was. In the incident report, the deputies blamed Fisk for the fall.

Investment in commercial real estate is at its lowest levels since 2013, office buildings are selling at steep discounts, and commercial construction is slowing dramatically, aside from apartments. Lenders and the larger economy should be able to weather the real estate downturn, provided multi-family doesn’t follow down the same path that office space has, according to a leading commercial real estate economist. “It is a period of pause in real estate, but no doom loop is at play,” said Richard Barkham, global chief economist with CBRE, the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, during a mid-year update for the National Association of Real Estate Editors in Austin on June 19. Tenants are now requiring only 60% to 70% of the office space that they needed in 2019 because of the shift toward remote work that accelerated during the pandemic.
