Getting my beauty sleep
Oct. 29th, 2011 10:53 pmWas exhausted today so crashed out in the early afternoon rather than going to today's march and when I woke up it was too late to go to the rally — assuming there was a rally. The news reports were interested in different matters: people getting arrested and pepper sprayed, for instance. Reading between the lines of the Denver Post report, I gather that when people had illegally pitched tents in the park the police used this as an excuse to dismantle the kitchen and confiscate all the blankets and food and belongings they could, most of which had nothing to do with the tents. But I don't know this for sure.
And of course the police and the protesters did other stuff too. As for what happened on the Capitol steps, I have no idea other than what the news reports say. The Occupy Denver site has less about the Capitol ruckus and more about what happened at Civic Center Park ("Police Move In To Clear The Park"), which is two parks over, across a couple of streets.*
( I have opinions about tactics but don't always share my opinions )
*Also, the two incidents were likely to involve two separate police forces, the force at the Capitol being state police, the force at Civic Center Park being Denver police.
