‘This Was A Riot’:Denver Leaders Vow To Hold Suspects Accountable
At least a dozen people have been arrested after protests against the Denver Police Department turned violent Saturday night.
DENVER, CO — Denver city leaders hosted a news conference on Sunday to discuss arrests and destruction from violent protests on Saturday night. A group of about 50-75 people protested outside the Denver Police Department headquarters.
“They brought weapons to the table. They had guns. They brought explosives, axes, machetes, and had one intent purpose and that was to harm our officers,” said Murphy Robinson, Denver’s Public Safety Director. “I want these anarchists to hear me clearly and loudly that this will not be tolerated in our city. You are not welcome here.”
Robinson went on to say the city plans to do everything in its power to stop these violent acts.
