By Brian Maass, CBS Denver: AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – CBS4 has learned the President of the Aurora Police Association, Officer Doug Wilkinson, has been placed on administrative leave after he sent out a scathing email last week to his 240 members calling diversity provisions in a "consent decree" between Aurora and the Colorado Attorney General "sexist and racist." According to the email, obtained by CBS4, the union president wrote, "To match the 'diversity' of 'the community' we could make sure to hire 10% illegal aliens, 50% weed smokers, 10% crackheads, and a few child molesters and murderers to round it out. You know, so we can make the department look like the 'community.'"
