    Getting tense in Denver. Protesters were marching down a busy street, then turned and went back to the Capitol.

    They marched again and turned a different way onto a side street, apparently to return. But it passes a police precinct, and police have blocked off the street to stop them.

    Most have turned around, but others are just a few feet from the police line, yelling.

    Any US city of a decent size is going to have a bunch of out of staters in it as temporary residents, students, what have you. I assume the cops ID'd the arrested by their driver's licenses. Even the guy from Texas could have been living in the Twin Cities area for months. Might not've been, either.

    How is not shooting unarmed people a sign of weakness?

    What's wrong with pissing off Trump supporters? They're not decent, God-fearing people.

    Honestly, with this guy and Umbrella Dude, why doesn't the crowd curb stomp his ass and hold him until the cops come? This one looks like a teenager.

    Overnight curfew for L.A. Yeah, no, it didn't work in 1992. It won't work now.

    So stupid. Don’t make claims like these without knowing the facts. So easily disproven in this case.
    He would have been ok if he had said “an unusually high portion of the suspects are from out of state.”
