Aurora Sentinel: Aurora lawmakers on Monday once again imposed new restrictions for public comment after months of heated council meetings with outbursts and a lack of decorum from members of the public, primarily one group of protesters.

Councilmembers Françoise Bergan and Danielle Jurinsky sponsored a new resolution to restrict public comment during city council meetings by proposing to shorten “public invited to be heard” to 40 minutes with 2-minute speaking times at a special session that will allow for city council to attend it virtually.

For months, most of the meetings have been dominated by, and even taken over by, regular protesters and commenters focusing on the police-shooting death of Kilyn Lewis last May. Lewis was fatally shot by an Aurora SWAT officer while being arrested.
