My wife had to take a detour that brought her by those ****stains occupying the park.
She said there was a large prescence of Cops and something aroudn 50 cars and
all lined up as if they were advancing or waiting for the riot to break out.
Nothing on the news and wondering if anyone has any idea other then the clash between cops and ****stains confrontation today
because the ****stains wanted to protest inside the capitol.
My guess was that the LEO is just being prepared for more confrontations and
showing their presence.
Screw the occupy protesters. [Rant2]

According to denverpost.com 20 protesters were arrested.
In the most violent Saturday in more than a month of Occupy Denver demonstrations and marches, Denver police fired mace and pepper balls at a crowd of protesters in Civic Center today and arrested 20 people.
Two of the protesters were held for felony charges after police said an officer was knocked off his motorcycle and other officers were kicked, as they moved into the park to tear down illegal tents.
The first mid-afternoon confrontation had police and state troopers shoulder-to-shoulder pushing a group of marchers off the state Capitol steps, which is out-of-bounds to protesters without a permit. Some of the Occupy Denver sympathizers then raced to set up tents in Civic Center, where city officials have allowed ongoing

food tables and sleeping bags but not sleeping structures.
Protesters there surged around about eight police officers. Other officers responding to calls for help fired the pepper bullets, which resemble paint balls. One protester filming the scene — one of hundreds of cameras documenting police activity — was knocked out of a tree in the melee.
Five people were arrested in the first conflict, before 3 p.m. Hundreds of officers and SWAT members converged on the park and Broadway was shut down for hours as police and protesters reached a tense stalemate.
About a dozen of the angriest marchers stood nose-to-nose with police and screamed profanity or anti-Wall Street slogans. Others tried to calm the situation, even while filming.
Just before 6 p.m., with ambulances waiting and police cruisers covering whole blocks around the park, officers donned gas masks and used megaphones to warn protesters the remaining tents were illegal. Wielding long batons, a few dozen officers pushed into the park and formed a circle around the tents.
CU student Daniel Ellen tried to jump through a gap to help other protesters he feared were stuck in the tents, but was knocked to the ground by police. He stood

(Karl Gehring, The Denver Post)
up and charged at them again, screaming in anger, took a blow to the temple with a baton and was pushed down twice more.
"I support the people here who are unemployed," said Ellen, who said adrenaline kicked in and he grabbed one of the batons before getting knocked back again. While the crowd surged around the officers, a Hare Krishna group chanted and danced just behind them.
Fifteen were arrested in the second action, said Lt. Matt Murray, Denver Police spokesman.
"All we did was take down the structures," Murray said. "We're reacting to what they do. As long as they are legally protesting, we'll protect their right to do that. The officers today did a great job of showing restraint."
The 15 later arrests

(Jordan Steffen, The Denver Post )
were all for misdemeanors, he said, including two juveniles. One of those arrested was taken to the hospital.
Murray said Denver's newly-appointed police chief. Robert White of Louisville, Ky., was aware of the action. White, whose appointment is pending City Council approval, was in Denver Saturday for a news conference.
A Public Works truck parked in the middle of Broadway after the second sweep, and was quickly crammed with tents, tarps and the tables and food of the "kitchen" area that was a social hub for protesters.
During a noontime march, which was smaller than the previous three Saturdays, as many as 2,000 demonstrators peacefully made their way through downtown Denver.
.
As the crowd made its way back to Civic Center on Broadway, they veered east and up to the steps of the Capitol. Officers formed a line at the bottom of the west steps.
Some protesters pushed officers while others joked with them. One person tagged an unmarked patrol car with orange spray paint - scrawling "99%" across the hood and driver-side door.
Protesters toward the front of the crowd started fighting with one other after one protester told another to stop taunting police.
Fewer than 10 officers in riot gear were in the middle of a hive of pushing protesters. Behind them, a man and a woman were face down in hand restraints. Officers pushed protesters back, only to have them collapse on them again.
More officers were able to move in after several rounds of pepper spray and one round of pepper balls were fired.
Mike Korzen, 25, washed pepper-spray out of his eyes with a bottle of water.
"I was standing there with my hands behind my back," Korzen said.
He said police had been trying to get people out of the surrounding trees.
During the mid-afternoon stalemate, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter waded into the crowd alone but for a bullhorn, urging protesters to remain as peaceful as they had been during his previous visit. A few in the crowd drowned his words, shouting that it was the cops in assault gear who needed to tone it down, not them.
"Obviously you're making an impression," said Perlmutter, the Seventh District Democrat. "You've got to de-escalate this thing."
"We want jobs!" a man shouted back. "Democrats won't get elected anymore!"
Others standing near Perlmutter defended him to the crowd. "He's the only elected official who bothered to come down here today," one said.
Demonstrator Bobby Guerrero said that camping is an important part of the protest.
"We're just trying to hold our ground," Guerrero said. "We just want our voices to be heard."

ok mini rant, I work downtown in a mental health clinic, Some of these guys are CRAZY strong. The first day of the occupy i had to call dpd to help me remove a guy from our inside the clinic, 1.5 hours later no response beacause of the (****stains).
It sucks that our police have to be tied up with these idiots and real emergencies have to be put on hold. In the end I cancelled the call and used physical force to remove him.

Is there a way to turn off the swear filter? I'm an adult and I swear 8 times before I get out of bed. I don't care if someone uses a mean word on the internet.
If ever a little exhibition of force was warranted from law enforcement, this seems like a good time and place. I understand people have the right to freedom of speech and the right to assemble peacefully to voice their opinions. But when the demonstrators refuse to obey the law and refuse to comply with orders from authorities then they are just asking for trouble. I hope the law enforcement community comes together and cracks heads before this gets more out of hand than it already is.

Appreciate all the replys guys. My wife was thinking something cool was gonna be going down
when she was heading to her friends house in Capital Hill area.
I hope the protesters get violent and DPD puts them in their place.
Watching the video coverage was hilarious, a lot of pepper sprayed male protesters
crying and whining form being sprayed was so nice to see and hilarious.
For the record, I have been hit with pepper spray in order to carry it etc and
it wasnt as bad as those ****ing douchebags were making it out to be. [Weight]

They probably won't be. They are going to minimum staffing from what I understand by disbanding some specialty units and forcing early retirements. From what I have heard it will possibly be around 1300 total officers...just food for thought, similar sized cities have between 4000 and 5000 officers.

They are a bunch of pansies. I have been hit with pepper spray numerous times for training and to show co-workers that it can be worked through and it isn't as bad as it seems...it sucks and it hurts, but you can deal with it.

Occupy protesters = Worthless

Especially after spending so much on overtime on all the folks that have to be on duty to watch these people... I saw an interesting bit on how many Tea Party protests are suing cities because they were required to obtain permits and insurance and security, and pay for everything, while the OWS people don't have any of that stuff. So they say either hold OWS to the same standard, or give the Tea Party their money back...

I can understand the Tea Party's frustration and it certainly is a valid point but it'll never happen. More so in my opinion because the left wingers at OWS would throw a fit about the costs that they can't afford and being restricted by the government and so on.

much like my wife, being a LEGAL immigrant and shelling out thousands for such status, is part of the class action against the county, state and fed for unequal treatment.
illegals get foodstamps, medicaid etc etc etc...
illegal? here.. lets give you everything.
Oh, you have an immigrant visa? You took the time to follow the law and pay for the process? Spent DAYS in government offices cutting the tape? Sorry... you don't qualify...

I think what he means is that we have the right to peaceably assemble, however I think he doesn't understand what I think the rest of us find the be the reasonable limits on what is peaceable. Disobeying legal orders from the police, assembling on private property, public nudity, public intoxication and illicit substance abuse, rape, and general unlawful mischievous behavior sound like valid constitutional reasons to pepper spray, hickory shampoo, and generally disburse this group of miscreants.
As far as I know, the Occupy Pueblo people just stand around outside the downtown Wells Fargo bank branch, on the public sidewalk, during business hours, and don't impede traffic into or out of the premises, and generally hold signs and waste their lives. I'm ok with that. Some of the stuff from other Occupy sections, not so much.

Not true Kevin. The actual city of Denver is only about 600,000 population and most agencies of cities that size range about 1,500 cops. What confuses people is the Denver Metro area, comprising of all the surrounding cities, which has a population of over 2.5 million.
The Occupy movement is already starting to fizzle. I don't there's that many poeple taking them seriously.
