At 1:24 you see a man put hands upon the rear of a police motorcycle (that had been forcing its way through the crowd), and arrested. Is this the "he knocked over my police motorcycle" claim from Denver PD?

This is what the arrested man looks like later on in the video, with shiny new cuts and bleeding:

1. Gestapo tactics .... !!! This police brutality has to be stopped -- !!!

2. Cops lie

When it comes to political activism, cops are perennial liars. Their accounts are rarely accurate and often contain complete fabrications. People who are not involved in political activism, or who come from more affluent communities, don't understand this; they simply assume police are trustworthy. I assume the opposite; I'll take the word of an activist over a cop any day of the week.

4. when I heard that about the motorbike

was fairly sure it was likely in self defense . albeit so who's ruining the park. normally motorcycle's aren't allowed on the grass. they tend to tear it up. bicycles yes. motorcycles no..

can't believe anything the cops are saying at these brutality showdowns.

Remember the song Copkiller... Ice T wasn't singing about killing cops, he was talking about the bad cops. these cops.

3. It just seems to be getting worse..

The cops are out of control. This is what the Mayors want? This is what the Police Chiefs want? They want to repeat Oakland, sending what kind of message? That the 1% run everything and that American freedom has become a myth...

5. didn't police say this is why they went in with violence?

But they were already in and had made their decision to attack us when this happened. This was not the catalyst. Why shoot the crowd when the "offender" was already in custody?

8. when we were finished marching...the cops put on their riot gear

and circled us. They had bloced off the streets, and it looked like they were just itching for something to happen. That motorcyle is travelling through a crowd of people for no reason. This is where everyone hangs out. Nothing was happening for that motorcycle to bust through like that.

9. yes, they are just using this as an excuse

Using any little bit of any "wrong doing" on the part of the protesters to try to justify their actions. But we know.
Thanks for being there. I was not but I feel I am part of the movement and so I refer to it all as "we".

6. Things are falling apart everywhere.

Everywhere there are protests. The larger the protest the more likely the military, I mean the police, are going to beat the shit out of the crowd. The more lengthy the protest, the more likely the soldiers, I mean cops, are going to shooting off weapons into unarmed crowds of citizens. Our institutions look on us protesting as if we are at war, as if We the citizens are the enemy. Look how out of control the police states has become.

It will get worse before we win.

10. yes, they will not let go easily

But win we must.

7. Urgent call for Sgt. Thomas!
