Anarchist protesters could strike 2012 Dem convention, Denver officials warn (VIDEO)

• you are a dumb ass, it is possible for society to function safely without police,Did you know the year before police were introduced in new york, crime was at its lowest, year after skyrocketed.Oh and if your reply to my comment, is that is bullshit, look it up.

• You might be the dumber, most paranoid person alive. Tell you what, the next time you get robbed why don't you call that "handful of angry kids" since DPD is so horrible. 

• The real danger of violence is from DPD, not from a small group of teenagers in black. Will Denver Police again sell t-shirts that brag about their insane level of police brutality, directing officers to get there early and "beat the crowds" (get it? Isn't that hilarious in a retarded redneck kinda way?)? Members of the DPD have been caught raping women they falsely arrest, stealing drugs and evidence, brutally beating innocent bystanders in LoDo for no reason other than their steroid-enraged cop-egos and falsifying incident reports at every opportunity. They are scum who have consistently abused their power and authority and no citizen of this city in their right mind should trust them for a second. I will take a handful of angry kids over the fascist, violent assclowns at DPD any day of the week. Wake up, Denver -- your "protectors" are rapists and thugs.

• Jared, don't forget about the City's pathetic retroactive justification after the convention: 'http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_10382440 The City effectively found evidence of homelessness and construction sites. The whole thing reminded me of claims and search for WMD's, with a lot less mass slaughter resulting.

• Good call. Almost forgot about that story. Read "The 'House of Urine' Rumor Evaporates" at http://www.westword.com/2008-08-07/news/the-house-of-urine-rumor-evaporates/

• Time for the Charlotte media to begin a year long fear mongering campaign to justify repressive City ordinances and a temporary police state. At least Westword in 2008 exposed the lie started by a NYC firefighter about "urine and feces" bombs--a lie that bubbles up before every large demonstration and never materializes. The sad thing is that this happens at every convention. The fact is that at the national political conventions over the last 10 years, the state just rounds up masses of people up who dare to publicly protest, puts them on buses and then puts them in cages for a few days to keep the streets clear and to teach people a lesson about the dangers of protesting.

• The mere hint of anarchists was sufficient to waste millions on an absurd law enforcement show of force. I'll never forget the scene in Civic Center Park the Monday morning before the Convention; it was like we were visiting a giant armed encampment of riot police. Charlotte aspires to field an overwhelming police overreaction like Denver's and only commit false arrest on a hundred or so people, rather than conduct a mass police assault on protesters as Chicago did -- so progressive! If Morgan believed Denver's civic leaders (who were led around by the nose by police), he has a very skewed understanding of our reaction to peaceful protest.

• Good. Let's hear for the anarchists.
