Police Brutality at the DNC in Denver

[illusion0427]

So u apparently get arrested for writting with chalk on the sidewalk... whats next u are eating a candy bar and miss the trash can?

[AmBeRCrOwHoE69]

this is a bad video

[AmBeRCrOwHoE69]

Man these mutha fucking pigs... ooh if this ever happened to me... man o man...

[BFMV698]

WTF? They weren't doing any harm by writing on the sidewalk. Why are cops always looking to take a harmless situation and make problems out of it? calm down cops, dam.

[rabidmonkey1990]

hahaha, there was absolutely no brutality...AT ALL. By the way, chalking public property is graffiti....who do you think owns the sidewalks? You should all learn the law before everyone bitches and moans about "brutality" and "innocence". A law was broken. Period.

[ElGatoLoco698]

@rabidmonkey1990 Aside from the typical police brutality of cramming a knee in your kidney and shoving you down like your some kind of sick mongrel, no there was no brutality. Secondly, how do you know who owns the sidewalk? Thirdly, since when does writing on a sidewalk require a person be arrested? Fourthly, where is the warning from the cops? Did anyone kindly ask them not to write on the sidewalk? Cops always feel like they need to prove a point and arrest a person. Ego.

[KLyonsTower]

i am not surprised the denver police can do what the fuck they want and get away with it. That was public property they did nothing wrong

[hbcrazyman]

this looks bad but we didnt see what lead up to the arrest

[REPSOL600RIDA]

dont know that they give a permit to deface public property ??????

[REPSOL600RIDA]

i dont see ant brutality who needs some teen girls writing all over everything with chalk anyways ??

[SonofPencilHead]

This was during the DNC. The ladies had a permit. Considering the circumstances, shoving them to the ground is a bit much, doncha think?

[REPSOL600RIDA]

i live in denver i dont wanna see chalk written all over eveything go to a play ground and do that crap make a sign not on the floor i dont know of any permit that allows you to write all over public property ....

[SonofPencilHead]

Well, I live in St. Louis and I don't want to have to see Russ Carnahan's face on my billboards, but I put up with it.

The story said that the girls had a permit; this is now a city matter.

[wumbobabo]

That was pretty calm lol...where was the brutality?

You have first amendment but you can't deface public property (although it was chalk). They probably could have given them a warning first, but the video cuts in the middle so for all we know they did, and they wrote on the sidewalk anyways

[cannabischarlie]

should have done absolutely fucking nothing. its chalk. when it rains, its gone. it was the obama stuff, and cops are conservatives, and generally racist.

[SonofPencilHead]

They had a permit from the city, so no problems there.

[Babylauncher3000]

ummm.....where was the brutality?

[SonofPencilHead]

The shoving-to-the-ground part, mostly. Was fairly disproportionate when you consider that these are teenage girls.

[rubenisrael]

I was THERE, in fact I was the one PREACHING ON THE BENCH. This guy Garcia walked behind me with a sign and was pulling my shirt trying to pull me off the park bench. BAD MOVE, as the police behind me saw that, they grabbed him and he then played the victim card. I was there acting on my freedom of speech and freedom of religion as the police protected my rights that day.

[Naylor2689]

HA HA

[stickmgood]

lol, what brutality? Get them criminals. Graffitti is a crime, get em.

[TolsmaLMC]

Sidewalk chalking isn't exactly graffiti.

[SonofPencilHead]

Especially not when your organization has a permit from the city to chalk sidewalks.

[SPFrobber]

when you idiots want to point out corruption you need a case that can't be disputed. this video is as tame as it gets. really, there are real problems out there but this isnt one of them. Rodney King, beaten, cops get off. That was a real stroy, this is not.

[jackbelias]

No brutality here, just an arrest.

[TolsmaLMC]

Why were they being arrested, though?

[Conner1988]

for all you know they have previous warrants the police dont need to witness you doing something for you to be arrested. Some warrants sit for 20 years before they find the person.

[TolsmaLMC]

Do you know that for sure? I would like to know the story behind this.

[Conner1988]

i dont know this for sure i am hundreds of miles from where this occured but you cant just jump on someone when you dont know the whole story yourself. i didnt see excessive force i saw a safe takedown that makes it so its quick and painless.

[TolsmaLMC]

I don't know the whole story either, so I definitely don't want to make judgements on the police. I'm just wondering why someone would be cuffed for chalking?

[cannabischarlie]

because they had the nerve to be pro obama. cant have that with conservative cops, obama actually has the courage to speak out about cops, like the jim crowley thing.

[TolsmaLMC]

I think these people were actually pro-lifers. I don't think they were in favor of Obama.

[jeffym]

Defacing public property. Thats a crime. CUFFED AND STUFFED as they should be.

[driubi]

actually, if i understand the story correctly, they had permits to do sidewalk chalk.

[jaguaruas]

Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary. Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529.

[jaguaruas]

The Court stated: Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.

[MrSargenti]

That's Hot!

I bet they like it like that.

[Nixin1]

looks like "Survivors of the abortion holocaust" I am glad I wasnt there because I would have lost my temper seeing young girls being treated like that...unfortunately I believe I was already being "detained" that day...

[irishlacrossse]

haha stupid sidewalk painting bitches. get a life ans top deacating property thats not yours. If you bitches went to my highschool i would shoot your fucking brains out

[Minionuup]

Oh how touching.....a black using chalk to write that black racists name on the sidewalk the cut to the arrests! amateur propagandists.

[dagmastr3]

dosn't even look like cops, looked more like staged bs....they did kind of look like monkeys while they were crawling on the ground with their crayons...lol

[heatsketch]

See, here's the problem with you leftist types. Code Pinkers and anarchists go around threatening violence, getting in cops faces, and breaking windows, and when the cops hit them to the ground and tackle them you all collectively cry "police brutality".

Now, when someone who is genuinely, peacefully exercising their first amendment rights, harming nobody, (they even got permits to chalk from the city) gets tackled by the cops you laugh at them and say it's no big deal.

[Minionuup]

The getting in cops faces and breaking windows is so they can get the pictures and video they need. It gets them wet.

[StellarMortem]

Obama is seeking a totalitarian state!

Total government control over everyone's lives..

watch?v=m89m0pC_bpY

[moslemssuck]

Now hopefully soon, this girl will be 'islam', and the police, the 'world'.

[heatsketch]

THIS IS TRUE POLICE BRUTALITY. Unlike that shit with the code pink member that everyone was calling brutality, THIS ACTUALLY IS COMPLETELY UNJUSTIFIED

[yasminaawad]

Im not getting it, Was she not wanting people to vote for Obama, or wanting people to vote for him?

[heatsketch]

shes against him

[yasminaawad]

ah okay, ARe you against him?

[heatsketch]

yes

[yasminaawad]

im not, im going to vote for Obama. Maccain is good too, but i kinda like Obama more.

[heatsketch]

If I was American I would vote McCain.

[yasminaawad]

Theres nothing wrong with mcCain, but lol, Okay im going to be a little bad. i wanna vote for Obama because hes black, American never had a black president lol.

[heatsketch]

That was how I thought a year ago, before I knew what their policies stances were, before I knew anything about them. I remember saying "I'd rather a black guy than a woman. I'd say it's about time." But then I found out about him, and he's not just a liberal, he's a far left radical marxist liberal. I would vote for Clarence Thomas in a second, as well as some lesser known black republicans like Bob Parks (he's got a channel here on youtube, BlackandRight). But not Obama. Not in a million years

[Minionuup]

Well good to see you have come around. Are you black or white?

[heatsketch]

I am white

[Minionuup]

Whites alright.

[driubi]

you obviously don't know what a Marxist is.

[heatsketch]

facepalm

[driubi]

my point exactly...

If you knew what one was, you wouldn't make such stupid statements like obama is a marxist.

[heatsketch]

He is a marxist though. His policies are marxist policies of wealth redistribution, his tactics are marxist straight from the Saul Alinsky handbook, those who fund him are marxists, and his "mentors" and the people he looks up to range from marxists to straight up, avowed communists.

[driubi]

lol, if you think redistribution of wealth doesn't already occur, they your diluting yourself. Where do you think the money the fed prints goes? Not to us - and it devalues our money. If you think redistribution of wealth = marxism then you don't know what marxism is. Redistribution of wealth already happens.

[heatsketch]

That doesn't mean it isn't a marxist doctrine. I'm not saying the system isn't already infested with it. I'm saying that now it wants to be head honcho. Whether it's happening now or not has nothing to do with what marxism actually is

[driubi]

you are truly clueless as to what marxism is. Redistribution of the wealth to the corporations via printing money and corporate wellfare is NOT marxism. Marxist labor and economic policy is the idea that workers should be compensated for the full value of their work, not scooped away by corporations on top. Obama does not support this brand of governance.

[heatsketch]

Retard, Obama doesn't want to take money and give it to the corporations, he wants to take wealth from the corporations, as well as the wealthy, and give it to everyone else, the people who haven't earned it.

Not corporate welfare

[driubi]

oh ho! so now i'm the retard because you can't form a clear argument. In your response to the fed printing money and corporate welfare you claimed "I'm not saying the system isn't already infested with it [marxism]". Marxism does not call for an equal redistribution of wealth, but for an equal distribution of wealth in the first place. Marx would argue that a CEO shouldn't make 30 times more than a worker, because the value of the worker is worth more than 1/30th of a CEO.

[driubi]

Obama isn't calling for ceo's pay to be cut to 'fair' amount. Obama isn't calling for a communistic redistribution either - which would be to give each citizen around the 50k average income and let things deteriorate from there. Saying Obamas policies are marxist is just a joke.

[heatsketch]

dear god I'm not going to even bother with you when 1: you clearly can't even understand what I am saying and 2: you don't know the first thing about the policies of the candidate I'm assuming you are voting for

[driubi]

I have no trouble understanding what you say, you have trouble saying what you understand.

I wouldn't say that i'm voting for a candidate - as its more of an against another candidate. Both candidates economic policies are fiscally irresponsible. The fiscally responsible thing to do is the drastically raise taxes, remove all our troops from foreign lands and cut our defense budget to 1/4 of what it is, concentrating on actual homeland defenses only - and start to pay down our huge huge debt.

[heatsketch]

I completely disagree with everything you just said

[Minionuup]

So does that mean it needs to be just any black man or some one with experience and without a marxist past?

[heatsketch]

I'm not saying any BLACK man, I'm saying any MAN or WOMAN who, like you said, has experience and isn't a Saul Alinsky acolyte. I would love for there to be a Black president, it would be a huge step forward, but not if that president is just going to run the country into the ground.

[driubi]

our country has been being run into the ground since the Reagan Administration. If you want to blow off debt then go ahead - but the amount of debt increased since the reagan administration is costing tax payers nearly a half a trillion dollars a year on the interest alone. That sounds fiscally responsible to me.

[heatsketch]

Since when has raising taxes on everyone fixed problems? Historically it's only made it worse

[driubi]

Reagan and the bush's should have thought about that before they drastically increased our debt. This is exactly what i mean by fiscal responsibility. Certainly the disastrous "trickle down" tax cuts of this administration have shown that giving large tax breaks to the wealthy doesn't help. It shows that deregulation doesn't help.

[heatsketch]

I'm not talking about giving tax breaks to just the wealthy, I'm talking abut giving tax breaks to the people. Lets also not forget that the top earning 10% of Americans pay the vast majority of taxes in the U.S, something like 70-80%. And the whole mess with the economy, that is not just the fault of the Bush Admin. It is in large part due to the house, as well as the dumbfuck mortgage companies (which are for some reason getting bailed out)

[driubi]

I didn't say that it was the fault of the bush administration soley. Reagan came up with this ingenious idea that if you let corporations have at it, and lower the government over site - the competition wouldn't allow for dangers to materialize. So when freddy and fanny start buying up these high risk loans left and right they are rewarded for it. When they are warned, they continue to do it. They know they'll be bailed out - because the damage done if they collapse is more than a bailout.

[driubi]

the wealthiest 10% of taxpayers theoretically pay about 65% of the taxes. However this doesn't take into account the benefits and deductions one gets when that wealthy. For instance -Instead of paying 50k to the government one could buy a hummer for around 60k and write off all but 10k of it as a business cost(due to a hummers weight). The amount of loopholes are astounding that about 1.3 million corporations don't pay any income tax yearly. Also the top 10% make 45% of the money in the US.

[jeffym]

Yeah, it was only Reagan and Bush's that gave big business tax cuts. Bill Clinton would have never done that while he was in office for 8 years. He also wouldn't do anything to stop Binladin and other terrorists because he was busy getting his cock sucked.

[driubi]

LMAO.

Give me a break. Reagan and Bush increased our debt dramatically. Clinton was more fiscally responsible than any republican president in the last 30 years. Clinton tried to take action against Bin Laden, but republican controlled congress wouldn't pass anything. Reagan is at fault for championing the policies of deregulation that caused this economic crisis. I suggest you get off his cock immediately - as anyone with a rational thought left in their head sees he was a shitty pres.

[AmericanPoliceState]

A puppet is still a puppet no matter what party its in. Lets not forget Waco and Oklahoma city happened on Clintons watch. The ATF and FBI burned people alive including children, later if you believe the governments reason why McVeigh and Nichols bombed the Murrah building. No one is blameless kids. All of them are corrupt.

[driubi]

I agree - Clinton signed the Glass-Steagall act and nafta. But its republicans who have been chanting deregulation for the last 30 years - and its been a complete failure. McCain is 100% for Nafta - while Obama has some reservations. None of the choices are good, but that won't stop me from choosing the better choice. People complain about the bailout and should - but americans also pay a half trillion annually to pay down the interest that the bush's and Reagan's debt.

[jeffym]

driubi you have no clue and are a one sided democrap. Quit sucking up blaming Reagan for everything. There was another idiot before him by the name of Jimmy Carter. Can you not go afew years before hand to remember how badly he F-ed everything up? Reagan fixed and helped the economy. So didn't Bush Sr. so Clinton had it made. He HAD a chance to catch Binladin more than 8 years of a chance just as this president did and failed.

[driubi]

jimmy carter was responsible for about 100 time less debt than reagan. The debt we obtained during the reagan bush administration costs us about 400 billion dollars a year in interest alone. So everything good under clinton was bush sr. and reagans doing, and everything bad under bush jr is clintons fault. And you call me a "once sided democrap" - which is a faulty assumption as i always vote who I think would be better for the country at the time. This time it is democrats.

[BurningHearts70]

and I have to deal with the police on a regular basis. Not all cops are bad but it seems alot have a disregard for our rights. I'm currently in a law suit against a city for violating my rights. So God bless you, (continued) preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and stand up for the unborn no matter what. Amen.

[BurningHearts70]

What an outrage!! These wicked police officers who committed this CRIME should be fired. They need to stop sinning and call on Jesus to escape hell! They obviously have a personal problem and a personal agenda to show such disregard for American citizens they are supposed to SERVE AND PROTECT and not persecute. I preach the gospel on the streets alot calling men to stop their lying ,drunkeness, abortion, fornication and homosexuallity and all sin and call on Jesus to escape hell and go to heaven

[patrick4865]

Remember a few years ago, when we had a republican controlled house and president?

Did abortions stop?

Did the gay agenda's stop?

Was school prayer re-instated?

Did judge Moore keep his 10 commandments?

The republicans are evil like the Deomocrats.

We are now in a POLICE STATE folks.

It's going to get ugly....

[ElitesWannaKillYou]

They got permission from the city, but they must have forgot to get permission from the gangs. The girls are fortunate to have survived.

[Gundam2004]

It's strange that people attribute this brutality to Bush when the DNC was the organization setting the policies for their convention. The two girls who were assaulted and arrested had a permit to write on public sidewalks issued by the City of Denver. Their message was critical of the Dem's Chosen One. Same with the reporter who was attacked by police. He was getting photos of people the DNC didn't want photographed. If you want this to become the norm, vote Obama. Jayne, Julie, sue the cops!

[littleewok51]

Hey it's Jessica. Who is this? Add me! Survivors stick together!

[jimstach]

How come my other comments not posting?

[lakewood78]

There were several kids drawing messages on the sidewalk. Why were these two girls singled out and attacked without warning? Was their message different from the others? This behavior is an example of the liberal mindset in action. They do not tolerate criticism. Consider the Obama campaign's recent attempt to get the Justice Department to suppress a TV commercial critical of Obama. Imagine what they would do if Obama was president and controlled the Justice Department.

[cancercure23]

This is fascism people. This is the result of foreign policy bent on controlling oil & banking interests. Keep fighting back, VIVE LES RESISTENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[WatchmansWarning]

As is happening across America, people have become infatuated with Obama....or to state it more correctly...have become "deceived" by him. Anyone who supports the killing of innocent babies in their mother's womb are nothing short of evil. As this video confirms, it is apparent and extremely unfortunate that our public servants,the Denver police,are among those deceived....

But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)

[mericano08]

these guys are not cops they are pigs.they give good cops a bad name.they even go after reporters ,uncultured swine.this is the USA not the soviet union.i hope some day some cop will treat there kids like that.dirt bags,rot in hell.

[Minuteman351]

I hope they sue the police for brutality, that the cops go to jail and get treated the same. HOW DARE they attack these innocent women! You cops if you are reading this are cowardly slime for attacking little girls. Shame on you!!

[mithbusterz]

I hope these young people sue the police...riot or otherwise. This HAS to stop!

[juliacheree]

um, EXCUSE ME, but whatever idiot said that this video was fake, was WRONG! i was one of the girls arrested, and honestly, i was horrified that cops would treat any peaceful protesters simply because they were exercising first ammendment rights! and by the way "lowjack91" the officers with the blue zip-tye cuffs are riot control officers. we were arrested by regular officers, because OBVIOUSLY, we were not starting any type of riot.

[littleewok51]

[PrinceWalter]

Excuse me, these girls were given PERMISSION FROM THE CITY to do this. It has now reported on WND and other sources.

Those officers are damn lucky that there was nobody there trained to fight to perform a citizens arrest for violating a 1st Amendment, city-permitted right, and to shove their individual fingers up their rear.

Go figure....BO's change is no more 1st Amendment....or for the lame that don't know -- no more free speech.....remember that you BO koolaid drinkers!!!

[saxon1014]

To anyone who questions the validity of this event, my daughters were there (imagine my heart stopping when I got a message saying 2 girls arrested). They had permission by the city, they broke no laws. Insanity!! And sidewalk chalk is NOT considered 'vandalism', especially when done on public property, and with express permission by the city. Everything the Survivors do is scoped out, accounted for and made sure to be 100% legal! I guess these cops were absent the day they taught them 1st Amend

[motocross179]

If thats fake you should get fucking shot,because it will get exposed as fake and all the real brutality videos will get classed as fake by the media

[nigglefritz]

LAME!

LAME!

LAME!

[lowjack91]

I live in downtown denver and I seriously doubt the validity of this video. All the police that are patrolling the areas around the dnc are wearing full gear, I don't think I've seen bare arms at all since monday. Also, from what I've gathered and seen they aren't handcuffing protestors, the are using blue zip-tie type constraints. That's just my two sense.

[jimstach]

the group had received permission to sidewalk chalk from Denver City Attorney David Fine and Denver Deputy Chief Police John Lamb and had been "sidewalk chalking" for six days prior to the arrests without incident.

[stickmgood]

Good, get them criminals. I hate seeing all the graffitti all over the place. They should break some fingers for that.

[siftedby666]

Police brutality? Not even close. An arrest at most.

[ScottishViking77]

They apparently had permission from the city. A priest was also arrested I believe.

[THENAk3DTRUTH]

I support peaceful protests.

This *young girls* deserved what they got. This is considered vandalism not protesting...

[UnrealMiniMe]

Using chalk on a public sidewalk is not vandalism for several reasons...one of which being that using chalk does not permanently damage or deface property.

[ScottishViking77]

WTF.....kids? This is way over the line

[MuddleVanHeck]

This is one example, Scottish Viking. I just favorited about three of these in a row.

Wait until you see the one Stephen Lonewolf just posted. This was the arrest of a mainstream media producer.

I'll bet that gets some attention, too.

Police state lying in wait...

[ScottishViking77]

I think I saw that one as well, The ABC producer? If so, that was nasty. He was trying to get pictures of the DNC "Big Donors"...how dare he?....The RNC will be even nastier. I hope law suites were filed immediately to send a message to the Denver/Minnesota police. Take care. Peace
