"[Attorney Darren O'Connor, who represents Lawrence with Daniel D. Williams of Boulder-based Hutchinson Black and Cook LLC,] adds: 'Boulder staff and the Chief of Police referring to Officer Lolotai as a fine officer — and other positive statements about his being a good officer — when they knew or should have known that he was using force every week, and often every couple of days, strongly suggests that all those who defended him in this manner were too willing to excuse his penchant for violence. The fact that the Boulder Police Department hired him while he was under investigation for excessive use of force also points to this conclusion, because they chose to hire an officer even before he was cleared of wrongdoing.'"
