• Records detail Golden firefighter's role in racist doll incident (denver7.com) — Golden officials are under scrutiny after records revealed a firefighter admitted hanging a Black novelty doll from a fire station stairwell, initially receiving only a demotion and suspension before later being fired. The city manager and fire chief have since been terminated, employees voiced concern over the city's response, and council members are now arranging an independent investigation into the incident and its handling.
