The most violent clash between OWS supporters and the police so far has erupted in Denver, as the authorities attempted to dismantle an Occupy camp. The Internet is swamped with hundreds of angry messages and pictures of rubber bullet wounds. Denver police took their best shot at dismantling the OWS camp over the weekend. To disperse the crowd they used tear gas, batons, and rubber bullets, which are considered to be a "safe deterrent."

@Madmongul

You don't know what you are "fucking" jeering at. Those kids are protesting the Federal Reserve, a private institution that controls the currency and inflation of the American currency ever since 1917. They are trying to stop the bank meltdown before it happens. They are against corporatism fascism not capitalism or are you so programmed by FOX to know. Get off your ass and do something if you are so educated instead of watching American Idol, and shoving your face with TV dinners.

@highspeeda1c dude fuck that over 200 cops raided OB when there were i wanna say maybe at most 100 occupiers or so. youre saying if i got a badge and told you to get off the sidewalk and you didnt i could use police pepper spray and rubber bullets and youd be fine with it because a cop said to. you fucking idiot, peoples rights trump laws. you have military history apparently, so what about the american revolution? we committed treason but arent you glad we broke some laws?

@MultiMikko1234 First of all if you are going to try and convince me that what this video shows is the right thing to do, you could atleast use the correct grammer. "They deserve to be taken down". Why don't you move to Syria and help the government "Take Down" their protesters too.

[MultiMikko1234]

@acousticshoe What cause they do their jobs? What cause they are keeping peace? What cause the occupiers are complainers? They deserve to be taken down if they are going to act like this.

The guy keeps saying "we have kids here, why do you have weapons?" yet the same man repeatedly screams f the police....so it's ok for the kids to hear the swearing right?

@YouIdiotsSuck I am a Libertarian and go to OCD as often as I can but the reason the police came was that someone put up a tent. They sent in 200 cops to take down one tent that wasn't hurting anyone. You can say there is an ordinance saying you have to get a permit to put up a structure but sending in 200 cops to take down a tent?? The only people that were being violent were arrested so there was no reason for that many cops. do some Research on the "Non-Aggression Principle".

The asian guy at 2:39 behind the lady in yellow was trying to fight the police.. I was standing right next to him that day and tried to hold him back as he was trying to kick the police. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a police officer himself...
