They are putting blankets and tarps back out already, LOL...

The cops attacked with tear gas and rubber bullets, there was basically a standoff for a couple hours, then the cops took all the occupiers' gear and left.

The occupiers are putting blankets and tarps back out.

It may start back up in a couple hours when the 'curfew' kicks back in...

7. Occupy Denver Clash: Police Use Force On Denver Protesters

DENVER -- Authorities moved into an encampment of Occupy Wall Street supporters Saturday evening and began arresting demonstrators just hours after a standoff near the steps of the Colorado Capitol turned into a skirmish that ended in police force, including pepper spray and reports of rubber bullets.

Denver police spokesman Matt Murray said 15 people were arrested.

The action followed a tense afternoon standoff between protesters and authorities near the Capitol that escalated after about 2,000 marchers made their way toward the building and a small surge of demonstrators tried to advance up the steps.

About eight officers scuffled with a group of protesters and police confirmed that they used pepper spray and pepper balls to break up the crowd. A protester told the paper at the time that police used rubber bullets.
