Denver police: 'Stop doing anything that could be construed as free speech'

Protesters at the Denver airport over the weekend were told by police that it was illegal to exercise “free speech without a permit.”

[Police Commander Tony] Lopez warns in the video, which lacks context, that even carrying a copy of the U.S. Constitution was prohibited in the airport.

“I cannot carry the Constitution without a permit?” one protester asks.

“Correct,” the officer replies.
