8. Same exact thing that happened in Denver
Tue Apr 7, 2026, 07:14 PM

during the BLM peaceful demonstrations........

Denver police, instead of firing at the ground and letting them bounce up, like the manufacturer stated, were aiming them at peoples faces for direct hits. Then instead of firing the metal tear gas cartridges up in an arc to come down in the crowd, one officer shot the metal tear gas canister directly into the face of a demonstrator..........The guy they hit had facial fractures as well as losing an eye.........Denver's City Council paid out big time settlements on all the injuries, esp the guy who lost the eye.

The tax payers pay the bill, not the officers who inflict the damages.........

The State Patrol Troopers who were also there, tried to position themselves between the DPD and the demonstrators....they are of a much, much higher caliber than the Denver Police Officers, Aurora Police Officers, or other LEO's around the state..........
