"Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle today said local law enforcement agencies are preparing for an announced march designed to shut down U.S. 36 in the middle of rush hour this evening, a protest that he said would be a "no-win situation" for police.
"If we don't do anything about it, the public will be upset," Pelle said. "But if we did, it could involve arrests or tear gas or force. And, again, we will be scrutinized."
Recent events in Ferguson, Mo., and New York have sparked protests and marches the past two weekends in Boulder that have shut down intersections in the city.
Now, protesters have outlined plans to assemble at 5:30 p.m. at 28th Street and Colorado Avenue for a 4.5 minute "die in." During Saturday's march in Boulder, activists announced they planned to start at 28th and Colorado, then march south in an effort to shut down U.S. 36 during rush hour."

Yeah, I know... I'm hoping to leave work early and if i am unsuccessful, I'll just take Arapahoe East to 287 home. WTF is wrong with people?!?!

Gas em and round em up. Bring vans, busses, etc and take their hippy asses to jail for blocking traffic and disturbing the peace. "Can't do anything about it" is a pretty bad example to start making. People will be blocking traffic any time they want knowing that there will be no penalty for it.

The LE's excuse is weak, to say the least. Would the state police say their hands are tied if students decide to cross 25 instead of taking the over pass / bridges? I guess it doesn't matter when the DOJ & the CIC are clearly pushing an agenda. How can you act with the head of LE nationwide and O watching his back, say the things they've said.
