| UPDATE: Was Mayor Hancock on the Mayor's call that coordinated the shut down of Occupy movements across the country? (See Fong's comment below.)
Bashar Assad is the ruthless dictator of Syria who's following in his father's footsteps and jailing and killing protesters who are voicing theirs rights in the spirit of democracy.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, "Democrat", just shut down the Occupy Wall Street encampment in New York with brute force and a media blackout.
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock (a "Democrat" he says), like Bloomberg and Bashar Assad of Syria, has ordered Denver Police to use violent force to shut down our own Occupiers and deny them their democratic rights. Bonus for Hancock: he and the police can blame the protesters and the $350K spent as an excuse to cut some other program or deny some other public service: The cost of the Occupy Denver movement keeps growing. Between Oct. 1 and Oct. 16, the city spent $365,000 paying for police, sheriff's officers, public works, environmental health and Denver Health to come out to the site of the protests. More recent numbers aren't available, but city officials hope to have a more updated tally by the end of this week.
Denver Police say because of the need to manage Occupy protestors, citizens living in other parts of the city may experience delays in service. Congratulations, Cowards all! |
