Denver police go Nazi?

Denver PD arrested more than 100 protestors who reportedly had a permit to be in the Colorado Civic Center. That’s after police reportedly surrounded the group so they couldn’t get out.

More details:
First, at least some arrestees were reportedly kept as long as 12 hours without attorneys. Also, police allegedly acted because some people had face-covering bandannas.

Second, police apparently tried to intimidate away from the area post-clash loiterers.

No word yet on protestors’ claims they had a valid permit.

Maybe that Democratic Mayor John Hickenlooper just doesn’t want protestors ruffling any feathers of his Democratic best buds and budettes.
