Denver mayors son freaks out on cop who pulled him over: My dad is the mayor you f*cking f*ggot!The most entitled phrases uttered generally promote the power and identity of the accused.
Such was the case of the son of Denver Mayor Michael Handcock who went off on a rant against an Aurora police officer.
Jordan Handcock was pulled over shortly before 8 a.m. in March for speeding in the Denver suburb.
My dads the mayor, you f*cking f*ggot, the younger Hancock is seen saying in a video clip leaked to Contact7.
Of Denver? Well youre in Aurora, was the response from the officer.
Guess what, Im about to get you fired you f*cking b*tch, Hancock said later.
He was ultimately cited for driving 65 miles-per-hour in a 40 mile-per-hour zone.
While a copy of the citation was not released to media, it was revealed that the officer made a notation saying, Attitude very poor-see video.
The younger Hancock agreed to pay a $250 fine while appearing at a mandatory court appointment.
The judge asked why the 22-year-old was driving so fast. He explained he was running late.
We addressed this matter with Jordan and he has apologized to the Officer, the mayor said in a statement released by his office. While we do not support nor condone his inexcusable actions and words during this traffic stop, we love our son dearly and support him.

(12,153 posts)When my daughter was in high school, her best friend was the mayor's daughter. One day while they were riding around in my daughter's car, with her friend at the wheel, a cop pulled them over because they hadn't come to a full stop at a stop sign. When the cop saw that it was the mayor's daughter behind the wheel, he stopped writing the ticket, and apologized, saying he wouldn't have pulled them over if he'd known she was the one driving. She said, "Give me the ticket, dammit! I mean it, give me the ticket! Who I am doesn't mean diddly squat! I'm no better than my friend, or anyone else." He finished writing the ticket and gave it to her and she went on to pay her fine with money she'd earned making motel beds on weekends.
