DENVER — Protests demanding justice for George Floyd, the man killed by an officer in Minneapolis this week, turned violent in central Denver on Thursday. Shortly after protesters gathered at the Colorado State Capitol, about 5:35 p.m., at least five shots were fired. Officers at the scene told people to hit the ground. According to the Denver Police Department, no injuries were reported. At least two groups of protesters marched through the streets, forcing road closures.

This sounds like maybe the Soros Virus has gotten itself over to Colorado. Occupy-Wall-Street or Some Other Street.com. Pick a 4-letter word and insert it here.

Never let a good opportunity for nationwide anarchy go to waste. I am shocked and totally dumbfounded that the police didn't rush in and detain the rioters for not wearing masks and social distancing. In this case, they can deem rioting and looting essential and freedom of speech.

This was a far better country, in terms of quality of life, before telephone, t.v., and Internet. Maybe, eventually, the world will self/destruct back to the ox and plow, then we start all over again.

The police who killed George Floyd need to be charged with murder - all 4 of them. And looters need to be shot and protestors blocking traffic need to be arrested. What is so hard?

Great way to get corona virus bs off the lede on the fake news shows. Our local anchors are back in the studio instead of blurry-shaky cam broadcasts, and at least one local medical facility will shortly drop the mask requirement. Yo have to admit the newsies can shift the propaganda focus on a dime.

The 4 cops got fired as quickly as I have ever seen 4 guys get fired. They face charges after an investigation.
These people expect the 4 cops to be executed the next day.?
?
Are they morons or criminals.; I say criminals.

This was a bad thing with the cop, and there should be major consequences for him. But how often does this white cop/black guy killing happen? Once every year or two, or three? And every time it jumps on the first page right away, and it starts the same argument all over again. Is there ever a black cop/black guy killing?

I sure am glad I moved away from Denver in 2018. Incidents like this reinforce my feeling that this was a good decision, even though I occasionally have moments of missing things around Colorado.

I am not sure how the rioting and looting are being accomplished while observing proper mask usage, stay-at-home procedures and strict social distancing. Shouldn't the Democrats be throwing fits about now?

Yes, #9. There were several black cops involved in the Freddy Grey mess. They and their white fellow officers were all acquitted after the black Baltimore DA botched the investigation and the trials.
BTW, anyone else notice that this is only happening in cities which are run by demonrats? Wonder why.

#16, serious answer. I am pretty sure that there are a few, possibly a few in the south. Not sure, though.

Didn't know the Minneapolis Police department was conducting operations in Denver as well.

Much of the riot was televised live on local stations. The news readers were talking about how shocked they were that it was happening in Denver. They shilled for it, so why are they surprised?
