Unarmed peaceful protestors exercising 1st Amend vs. fully armored @DenverPolice #denver #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter   #9news – at Colorado State Capitol

#Denver Police now spraying people exercising their 1st amend rights with tear gas at point blank range at Sherman/Colfax #9news @denverpost #BlackLivesMatter #GeorgeFloyd
And here’s what it’s like getting gassed by @DenverPolice for peacefully assembling under the 1st amendment. This is the most cowardly thing I’ve ever seen. #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter @9news @denverpost #denver
The @DenverPolice continue to shoot pepper spray and rubber bullets at protestors in the back while we were attempting to treat this man who took a direct hit. @9news @denverite @denverpost #denver @mayorhancock #BlackLivesMatter   #GeorgeFloyd
After @DenverPolice pepper sprayed, shot at people with rubber billets, and shot canisters at protestors peacefully assembling for alledgedly “blocking traffic” police continue to advance on people now legally standing on sidewalks and the Capitol lawn. #Denver #GeorgeFlyod – at Colorado State Capitol
What is illegal about peacefully assembling on the Capitol lawn @GovofCO @jaredpolis @denverpolice @MayorHancock? White people get to do it to protests wearing masks but not people of color when someone is murdered? #BlackLivesMatter #GeorgeFlyod #denver
Extremely disappointed in @DenverPolice tonight. They escalated downtown into a war zone for no reason. Police now driving around indiscriminately shooting pepper spray and rubber bullets at people up and down Lincoln. #BlackLivesMatter #GeorgeFloyd #denver @9news @denverpost
The @DenverPolice continue to shoot at people running AWAY from them while peacefully assembled. Theres no honor in this @MayorHancock @GovofCO.Why can’t people of color peacefully assemble at the Capitol? @downtowndenver #georgefloyd #BlackLivesMatter @9news @denverpost #denver
#Denver’s Police (they look more like military) still advancing on innocent citizens. Ironically in front of #Colorado’s Supreme Court. @MayorHancock @DenverPolice #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMater – at Colorado Supreme Court & Colorado Court of Appeals
A very sad night for #Denver and #America. What started as completely peaceful assembly was escalated by Denver Police. Citizens were peacefully assembling at the Capitol when the police decided to spray people directly to the face w/ pepper spray & shoot in the back w/ pellets.
As you could imagine things went downhill from there. Totally unnecessary escalation by the City. Very disappointed.

It's critical that white folks keep showing up & putting our bodies on the line too. #BlackLivesMater #GeorgeFloyd
