A police body camera video leaked to Contact7 Investigates shows the son of Denver Mayor Michael Hancock using a slur against an Aurora police officer during a traffic stop.
“My dad’s the mayor, you f---ing f--got,” Jordan Hancock is shown saying in the video clip.
“Of Denver? Well you’re in Aurora,” the officer responds.
“Guess what, I’m about to get you fired you f---ing b---h,” Hancock is heard saying later.
The video clip sent to Contact7 Investigates by an anonymous source is only about 20 seconds long and ends with 22-year-old Hancock driving away. Denver7 requested the full video from Aurora police but the request was declined.
Denver7 has learned that after requesting a copy of Jordan Hancock’s ticket and the body camera video, the Aurora Police Department alerted the office of Denver’s mayor. APD said it notified Mayor Hancock's office as a “courtesy.”
A traffic ticket issued to Jordan Hancock says he was driving 65 miles an hour in a 40 miles per hour zone. In the ticket, the officer wrote, “Attitude very poor-see video.”
The ticket was issued by an Aurora police officer on Friday, March 23, 2018 near the intersection of East 40th Avenue and North Walden Street shortly before 8 a.m.
Jordan Hancock made a mandatory court appearance Monday morning and agreed to pay a $250 fine. When asked by the judge why he was driving so fast, Hancock explained he was running late.
After the court appearance, Denver7 asked Jordan Hancock to explain what happened during the 20-second video clip. Denver7 asked Hancock about his choice of language, his decision to say he was the mayor's son, and his threat to get the officer fired. Hancock did not respond to any of the questions.
Mayor Hancock declined requests for an interview to discuss the video, but his office did send a written statement:
“We addressed this matter with Jordan and he has apologized to the Officer. While we do not support nor condone his inexcusable actions and words during this traffic stop, we love our son dearly and support him.”
>>Nothing works better on cops than screaming “do you know who I am!!??”
The recent video of the NY Port Authority Commisioner playing that card, unsuccessfully, when her kid got pulled over, is an instant classic.

Of course she’s a Dem activist, raised a lot of money for HRC, etc.
The difference, that many people are keenly aware of, is between the treatment this kid received and the treatment any one of us would have received, both at the hands of the police and the hands of the media reporting it. That is the point. If the kid’s dad was a Republican mayor, this would be front page news with the R splashed everywhere. If it were any other kid without a mayor for a dad, the kid would be in jail nursing a serious ass-beating.
Must be a Kennedy cousin.
Affluenza strikes again.
British teeth.
It works with Sheila everywhere she goes.
She has since resigned. :-)
LOL! All African-American young ones should be required to watch Chris Rock’s, “How not to get your A$$ beat by the Police” in Driver’s Ed.
“HE GOT WEEEEED! HE GOT WEEEEED!”
Thank you for correcting me. I forgot.
Also, my filter for “good place” is strictly pro GOP pro-Trump or pro-Dem voting. Makes it sort of easy. It’s called prejudice and bias and that’s me all over. I haven’t looked up the demographics and voting records.
Thanks again for the correction.
The media will have to hide the anti-gay Hate Speech from this one. Too inconvenient
'Zactly.
Got a buddy on the Aurora PD. Pretty sure they know who the leak was and the Chief will have to suspend them for a few days. I expressed nothing but support for the leaker, but also understand (though do not like) the political necessity for the suspension.
Mayor Hancock is widely dis-liked but plays the game extremely well. Worst kind of ‘tic.
Hancock is indeed a “D”, and appears the apple did not fall far from the tree...Privileged and entitled...
Hizzoner is in hot water over sexual harassment allegations by a member of his staff, that may ultimately mean the return to investigations of his alleged trysts with Denver high end hookers...
Alleged to have been a regular customer of Denver Sugar escort service along with many other “movers and shakers” in Denver...All hushed up and invisible to local media, of course...
This piece of work was head of the Government and Ethics committee and sat on the Port Authority’s Operations committee
In my part of the world, the suburb cities aren’t generally too impressed with the governance of the central cities.
When someone asks do you know who I am, I immediately give them a stroke test and offer to call 911 for a person who is not oriented or able to self identify
