and have TOTAL "situational awareness"of your surroundings, when you participate.............

The last peaceful demonstration in downtown Denver were peaceful protestors at the Black Lives Matter protest..........
And many years later, the Denver City Council is STILL settling millions of dollars worth of lawsuits for the Flagrant, UNPROVOKEDl, and unquestionable police brutality that was exhibited by the Denver Police Department on the demonstrators........

It was very sad, some of the protestors were literally maimed for life. There is a large segment of Good/Great Cops on the DPD, and all it takes are a few goons to ruin the reputation of the other Officers on the DPD.........
