Several attendees told CBS4 an emcee at the event and a comedian joked at length about sex toys, a topic that caused problems at the same event a year ago.
In his resignation letter to Hancock dated Feb. 24, Tade wrote, Last year, I promised you, the Mayor, that the nature surrounding the 2019 Denver Firefightres Local 858 and Protective Associations Firefighters Annual Ball, Retiree Banquet and Awards Ceremony would not occur again. Strategies were implemented and assurances were made to prevent these actions from being repeated. Unfortunately, this years event did not prove to live up to those expectations or mine. New strategies and a fresh perspective are beneficial to foster continued improvement. In that, I have offered to step down as Chief of the Department to the Mayor for consideration.
In 2019, at the party, a sex toy was apparently raffled off at the annual Denver Fire Department gala, prompting Tade and other city officials to condemn the action as inappropriate, unprofessional and of poor judgment, after photos emerged of what had occurred."

It was the course humor at this year's ball that finished off the chief.

(19,114 posts)We have a President who has gotten away with assaulting women his whole life. Seems there's a rash of men doing the same thing thinking they'll get away with it too.
Men need to grow the f*** up in this country.
