Downtown 29OCT @ 20:00 hours

[DD977GM2]

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.

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

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."

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.
