Occupy Denver - SWAT Invasion (HD 720p) - October 15, 2011

The following events happened just prior to this footage being captured:

After a lively march around downtown, encircling the Federal Reserve Denver Branch, thousands of people from all walks of life, flooded back onto the park in the front of the Colorado State Capitol building. Someone had set up a tent providing food and water to the crowd. It was a sunny and unusually warm day for October in Denver, and water inparticular was in high demand. The crowd was passionate, but totally non-violent. Large teams of police and government agents had closed nearby roads and were surrounding the protesters from a distance.

The occupation was taking place peacefully, until a man with a badge threatened to cage the people working the food tent for not having a permit to vend. The "vendors" refused to close down, then a small but heavily armed, team of police started slowly moving towards kitchen tent. At this time, people got fed up. They swarmed across the street towards the team of police, in an attempt to record and block the cops from encroaching any farther towards the make-shift kitchen. A human shield was set up around the kitchen, and the state's initial assault was prevented.

bloomberg news, after a lengthy court battle, determined that the 2008 financial bailout was 7.7 trillion - 11 x tarp - allowing a small group of elite bankers to steal hundreds of billions from the American middle class through usury. Read the nov 27 2011 report.

End the monetary usury - fractional reserve lending, derivatives, private federal reserve. Bring back capitalism and honest money (JFK executive order 11110).

@valdie91285 Only human man. Theres a world consciouness awakening going on and people are starting to see how corrupt and controlling the government is over our lives, and were not gonna work for the rich so they can get richer anymore. We are not spoiled if were working paycheck to paycheck trying to make ends meet

@chronicinthahouse I didn't say that they are criminals because they are protestors, but am saying that some of them are not as moral and just as they make out to be and there seems to be much less footage of that. I'd also love to have all of these people live in a 3rd world country so they can truly see how spoiled they are.

@valdie91285 Lol you have no idea wat your talking about, I was there. This footage is from a news crew standing on top of a ladder. We are not the criminals, the elites are! and the military and police are their security

[valdie91285]

@yurdamasta These protesters are committing crimes, do some digging and you'll find new stories of rape, drugs, vandalism, stealing, etc. But because the media is liberal they only focus on stories that sound like police brutality. The cameras don't start rolling until AFTER these dipshits have committed a crime.

[valdie91285]

@yurdamasta ALWAYS? ALWAYS? My argument stands; protesters push until they get pushed back, then they cry like bitches looking for handouts.

@LetterToVoltaire That cop was videotaping for their own protection. So many assholes, like these protesters, film cops and then edit the videos to make it look like something that its not. So why not let the cops do some taping??? Think about it dumbass...
