There have been several complaints of police brutality at the Occupy Denver camp. Even though some of the larger cities such as Oakland and New York have dominated media attention, things have been brewing in other cities such as Denver. The cases of police brutality in Denver are ever-increasing. The Occupy movement is the perfect breeding ground for an already corrupt law enforcement to take advantage of their power over the protestors.
By June of this year, Denver had already paid out over $1 million in police brutality settlements. Denver cops are also a bit "trigger happy." A few years ago they charged into an apartment and shot a guy holding a Coke can, claiming they thought the beverage was a gun. Not to mention, it wasn't even the man they were looking for.
Tuesday, seven Occupy Denver protestors filed a lawsuit in federal court against Denver police. Two of the claimants reported being ticketed for honking in support of protestors. It has even been on the local news that Denver police are ticketing drivers for such action. Apparently, honking your horn for any non-emergency is illegal but it would be hard to believe there has ever been a ticket written for such an instance until now.
Police have also posted a notice of a city ordinance that is selectively enforced for those who leave items on the sidewalks. The punishment is up to one year in jail and a $999 fine.
There have also been four raids at the Occupy Denver where 97 arrests were made. The claimants and civil rights attorney, David Lane, say their First Amendment rights have been violated. They also state that the city devised this plan of selective city ordinance enforcement to get rid of the protestors.
These claimants should have their fines paid back by the city and they should only be arresting protestors for breaking criminal laws. Homeless people in Denver actually lie on the sidewalks all over the downtown covered in newspapers. Are Denver police going to throw them all in jail for a year?

If you dont belive it wait til you get your bank of america bill , they got a surprise for you. Their regular billing wont exist as you know it. You will now be billed as if it were American Express is the best way I know how to put it. It happened to me just two weeks ago. Either pay that in full or your going to owe out of your buhhduka, So if anybody has any grand plans of socking some huge amount onto your bank of America card you might want to call them first to make sure that bill doesnt have to pay in full. Luckily mine was only 60.00 but what a surprise that would have been if I would have decided to put a couple thousand on it. OMG>

Your media you watch paid off, why do you think the only news running is the negative and they are told what they can run. Sound to far fetched why not. " you as an American right now are being told what you can eat at neighborhood school, Michelle tells you as a parent you are not permitted to bring a home lunch any more,
freaks make it okay to have themselves and children molested at the airport TSA,
half the population doesn't even know that EUROP OWNS half our NAtional Parks they now what part of the GRAND CANYON!! So any more education needed to WHAT IS OCCUPY and why they are doing what they are doing.
These people are going to keep the losers from lossing their fricken money, and THAT INCLUDES your money at your bank.
Want to have the bank keep your money when you want it out. guess what they can keep it you cant get in or out. EVER hear of " Banking Holiday" .... Look it up for those who have any doubt.
OCCUPY GROUPS are for US and WE THE PEOPLE OBama is NOT for you or the people he does not care if your a brother, or not, he doesn't care if you have a job, or not.
