About 20 Occupy Denver protesters arrested after clash at capitol

DENVER - Police say about 20 Occupy Denver protesters were arrested on Saturday after they say protesters wanted to occupy the capitol.

Denver Police say they knew there was going to be a protest on Saturday and wanted to keep the event peaceful. Officers say the protesters wanted protest inside the capitol, which is illegal.

Of the seven arrested, police say two were arrested for assault.

"Unfortunately at one point, that group did try to occupy the capital, which is illegal. We made sure that they knew that, it was pretty clear that they were not allowed to do that, they tried to do it anyway," Lt. Matt Murray with the Denver Police Department said. "We had to step in and push them off. Things escalated; we did have to call out city-wide for assistance."

According to Gov. Hickenlooper's office, protesters need a permit to protest on the steps of the capitol. Protesting inside is illegal.

11. I considered being a cop, once

There are good police officers, certainly.

But there are FAR too many fascist pricks who become cops to get a license to hurt other people. Further, it's now becoming all too clear that as a police officer, you WILL be used and expected by the establishment to harm innocents in carrying out an elitist agenda. Don't want that in my life.

12. These are warnings to those who dare stand up. *sad*

The attacks on protesters are meant to intimidate the vulnerable. Not even kids will be spared.

There's no excuse to attack peaceful protesters. :(
