Followers of convicted doxer, free range grandma and sometime advocate for the homeless Regan Benson sat in bewildered awe Saturday afternoon as their idol regaled them with a story of her Facebook altercation with a retired police officer which resulted in Benson making a quasi-complaint about the man’s active police officer son on the livestream.
The YouTuber was sitting in her vehicle outside of the private police parking lot to Denver District 4’s police station. She said that an earlier livestream had failed and she strongly suggested that it was due to police jamming.
In fact, when she went into the police station to use the bathroom between the first stream ending and her moving her car, she asked the clerk on duty if they were using a “jammer” and the clerk remarked that they did not use such devices.
Now back in her car and away from any sort of signal interference, Benson said her week started with her stumbling across a video reposted and commented on by a man named John Anderson. Anderson is an acquaintance who once ran for and lost a write in bid to be the Sheriff of Douglas County, Colorado.
He also used to serve as a Commander of the Castle Rock Police Department and is the father to Jason Anderson, who is a Denver Police Sergeant who was a named defendant in one of the two lawsuits that Regan Benson brought against the Denver Metro Police Department that she settled in 2024.
John Anderson reposted a video of a protester running into a police horse after an altercation with police at a “No More Kings Rally.” Anderson made a disparaging comment about the protester trying to tackle the police horse.
After reading through the comments, Benson posted a message in response to the original post, which happened on Monday or Tuesday:
John Anderson: STREET JUSTICE! WHO is so stupid – that they believe they can tackle a horse? A trailed Police riot horse to boot! This idiot looks like (questioning face emoji)
Regan Benson: Interesting, looks like he was trying to pick up a bag on the ground and the cop positioned the horse so he couldn’t then cued him to kick. But oh well, everybody only sees what they want to see to fit their narrative. The guy wasn’t trying to tackle the horse, clearly.
John Anderson: Interesting that he remains so close instead of moving back like I’m betting he was DIRECTED to do. Had he moved away – tried to pickup something by getting in the way of a powerful horse – even by trying to push the horse / GUESS WHAT – he asked for every bit of that. Had the officer not reined that horse back / he would have gotten a lot worse!!! When directed by Law Enforcement to move back / that is a LAWFUL ORDER – consequences are on you if you’re that stupid to get under a horse.
Regan Benson: Cool. Excessive force is ok because you/re a betting man. He got what he deserved because he was stupid. How about arrest him for interference/obstruction/failure to follow lawful order? Answer: because it’s easier and more acceptable to escalate into excessive force in protest situations and then celebrate the results because people are “stupid.” excellent policing. The divide continues.
John Anderson: My God Reagan – would you go stand in the middle of a freeway when someone else said not to – even y7our own common sense? What the hell do you think would happen? Just like the guy in the mix of the horses / or in front of a stampede of cattle WHY? Why are you so liberal acting – are you?
In real time, Benson interjected that John was probably drunk and that he clearly knew who she was and that she knew his son.
The week progressed and Benson got national news coverage as CBS affiliates picked up the local story about her recent conviction of doxing a police commander from Denver’s District 3.
Benson put up a message on her personal Facebook page which was visible to her friends, including John Anderson. Anderson reacted negatively to it and Benson eventually explained that this was the reason she was outside of Denver District 4’s police station on a Sunday night.
At some point in the past she said that Jason Anderson arranged for his father to have a flight in a police helicopter as a birthday present. She wanted to know if Jason Anderson had reimbursed the public for the costs of the ride.
While Jason Anderson had nothing to do with the public exchange on Facebook between his father and Benson, she felt that John would be contacting Jason to make her life difficult in the future. She then told her followers that they could report Jason and John to Denver’s Office of the Independent Monitor to complain about Jason’s exchange with her on Facebook.
Benson then entered the police department and asked the clerk for a sheet of paper. The clerk complied and Benson sat as she wrote an open records request.
She read as she wrote the message: To whoever it may concern, please tell Sgt. Jason Anderson to tell his daddy to quit picking on Regan Benson. It is hurting my feelings and it is very inappropriate. It feels like orchestrated harassment by the boys in blue. Also, can someone tell me how much money was returned to the taxpayers by Sgt. Anderson after he gave his daddy a ride in the DPD helicopter for his birthday? Please respond to this official records request at the following e-mail address. Sincerely, Regan Benson
Benson handed the message to the clerk on duty, confirmed that he was a registered peace officer, then went outside to give the officer a compliment for his behavior. She then spent a few minutes writing in chalk on the sidewalk outside of the police department, signing her chalk statement and adding the remark that she still enjoyed pig roasts.
She would return to her car and update her various stories and again attack the jury in her recent conviction. She repeated claims that the jury foreman pulled out his phone during a sidebar conversation and that one of the younger members of the jury was sleeping in the jury box at one point during the trial.
Benson repeated that the Judge was corrupt, that the police lied on the stand, and that there was apparently a government conspiracy against her before ending the livestream.
This is a continuing news story.
