This protest is bullshit.

Just a bunch of kids pretending they are doing something good.

Why do I say its bullshit?

I see a swarm of people but still have no idea what they were protesting, useless.

Yes I hate all these faggots that say its a police state. It is not. And all you people that say you have the right to speak. You do but you cannot block public streets and you need permits to have gatherings for the fact that if you didnt there is no one responsible if chaos breaks out. You could see them taunting officers. The police arent doing anything wrong. Its the stupid hippies that need to go get a fucking job and stop blaming everyone

Strange, I never saw or heard anything about this on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Or MSNBC?

How convenient. Our media is nothing more that propaganda machines for the commie left, just like the "media" of the old Soviet Union.

You sir are one of the good ones.

IT is these violent " I hate all Authority" types that go to these protests and get in the face of police officers. They are the reason the police come in protective riot gear. The officers go to the scene expecting violence so they prepare for violence. They in no way initiated the violence. You protesters did when you refused the order to disperse

[stickmgood]

what illegal search? You do not have any expectation of privacy in a stolen shopping cart idiot.  They should have been charged with theft by receiving.

I was pissed at the people taunting the police officers. I was marching with this rally, and found it absolutely hippocrytical watching others getting in the face of the peace officers enforcing a code of civility. There was no violence, but from those who initiated verbal assault. Those people who were the ones who wanted to fight for the wrong reason.

So mikee1434... your saying protesters surrounded a ladies car w/ an infant and harrassed her?

I think your a BIG FAT LIAR mikee1434.

I doubt you have a grandmother in Denver, and I also wouldent doubt if you were a PIG. Demenstrators/Hippies are for change that is needed. Your kind is outdated and unwanted on so many levels that I dont have enough characters to get into it right now. Just know your lies smell like shit.

-A proud Vet for change. (and yes, I really am a proud vet)

[mikee1434]

All of those Protesters are illegally assembling. I doubt they got a permit to demonstrate infront of a government building

and it sounds like they are chanting for sometime of hostile takeover

He even cited the law you hippies werer breaking.

so tell me why didn't you leave? My aunt was in that area and got harassed by protesters because she needed to drive to the store to get food for her infant. and you hippies block off a road illegally and harass her
