Letter to Colorado Sun

 Dear Mr. Engold,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently came across your 2020 article in The Colorado Sun on Colorado police departments acquiring military equipment through the federal 1033 program. Your detailed analysis highlighted the concerning militarization of law enforcement and its impact on policing, particularly in light of protests and other civilian matters.

I am reaching out to share a deeply troubling case that exemplifies the issues you outlined and to propose that the root cause of these problems may be deeper than the equipment itself—it may lie in the fraudulent monetary system that funds and incentivizes these actions.

The Incident: Militarized Policing in Parker, Colorado

On January 11, 2025, the Elbert County Sheriff’s Department deployed an armored MRAP onto private property at 371 Buckskin Court, Parker, Colorado. An armed officer aimed a deadly weapon at the property owner, Zachary Moore, under the guise of delivering an eviction notice. Sheriff Tim Norton has since threatened to return with similar force and military-grade equipment, using deadly force if compliance is not met by midnight on January 19, 2025.

This use of military equipment for civilian law enforcement raises urgent questions about accountability, oversight, and the escalating normalization of military tactics in local policing.

The Deeper Problem: A System Funded by Fraud

While your article focused on the 1033 program as a vehicle for distributing military equipment, I believe the issue goes beyond the availability of these tools. The monetary system—a system that creates unlimited fraudulent funds—fuels both the militarization of police and the perversion of justice.

This fraudulent financial system enables:

  1. Unlimited Military Spending: Federal funds and grants finance the acquisition of military-grade equipment, even for small departments with no legitimate need for such tools.
  2. Judicial Bribery and Corruption: Courts and law enforcement agencies are incentivized to enforce fraudulent obligations, such as illegitimate evictions, because they are sustained by the very system that profits from these injustices.
  3. Civilian Oppression: Instead of protecting citizens’ rights, these resources are turned against them. What we see in Denver today mirrors decades of military interventions abroad, where unlimited funding has justified endless wars and systemic oppression.

What I have done is expose this financial and enforcement racket here in Denver, and for payment, I am being met with the very same militarized intimidation that communities in the Middle East have faced for decades. This incident isn’t just a case of local misconduct—it’s a direct consequence of a system that prioritizes fraudulent wealth over justice, liberty, and human dignity.

Your Expertise and Assistance

As someone who has extensively researched and reported on the 1033 program, your voice is uniquely positioned to shed light on the broader implications of militarized policing. I hope you might consider investigating and reporting on the following:

  • The Connection Between Fraudulent Money and Militarization: How does the financial system enable and incentivize militarized policing?
  • Accountability in Local Law Enforcement: Why are police departments allowed to deploy military-grade equipment for civilian matters without oversight or clear justification?
  • The Impact on Civil Liberties: What happens when law enforcement agencies begin acting like occupying forces rather than protectors of the public?

Resources and Evidence

To support your investigation, I’ve attached links to the following materials:

Call to Action

The militarization of law enforcement is not just a policy issue—it’s a symptom of a corrupt system that prioritizes fraudulent monetary gains over the safety and rights of its citizens. By exposing these connections, we can begin addressing the root causes and holding those responsible accountable.

I would greatly appreciate your insight and assistance in bringing this issue to light. Please let me know if you’d be willing to discuss this further or if additional information would be helpful.

Thank you for your time and your commitment to investigative journalism that makes a difference.

Sincerely,
Zachary Moore
