Colorado Springs police arrested eight people Thursday afternoon for “failure to desist and disperse” outside the Broadmoor World Arena where President Donald Trump was holding a campaign rally.
After a certain amount of time, Colorado Springs police started to warn the protestors they needed to get back on the sidewalk.
Colorado Springs Police Community Relations Sergeant Jason Newton said, “We made the decision. We had to act quickly to get the situation under control and made the arrests quickly and the event going back and people continuing to protest.”
Over a megaphone, an officer can be heard saying, “if you do not move immediately, you will be arrested for obstructing an intersection.”
Dozens of officers from several law enforcement agencies dispersed into the intersection, with riot gear, including shield, masks, and helmets.

Over a megaphone, an officer can be heard saying, “if you do not move immediately, you will be arrested for obstructing an intersection.”
Dozens of officers from several law enforcement agencies dispersed into the intersection, with riot gear, including shield, masks, and helmets.
“An intersection blocking traffic, putting yourself in danger, putting others in danger that is not a place to exercise your first amendment rights,” explained Newton.
They used their gear to try and move the crowds back onto the sidewalk.
When some resisted, they were arrested.
Newton said, “several people chose instead to take over the roadway and obstruct traffic at the entrance and exit to the area.”
Those arrested will be charged with a violation of Colorado Springs municipal code 9.2.103, failure to desist and disperse, a citation that will require those arrested to appear in court.

Colorado Springs PD released the names of the 8 arrested today. They were charged w/failing to desist or disperse.
Edward Billings, 49 Patrick Carroll, 29 Douglas Wilson, 50 Shepard Emry, 27 Jonathan Christiansen, 42 Charles Johnson, 20 Lawrence Stoker, 19 Chauncy Johnson, 20
Patrick Carroll, 29, was one of the masked people arrested at the anti-Trump protest. He was carrying the red flag of communism. His social media posts rail against fascists and capitalists. In one post, he talks about “shattering” the kneecap of a banker with a tire iron.

If these were the good old days we would have to treat communists as they deserve, but not today, we become weak nations that tolerates too much and these political doctrines that we tolerate could overtake us. People seem to forget the history of communism!
Don’t most of these people realize that once the commies take power….it will be their job to sort corn or some other menial task? One the revolution is over… agitators types will be forced to do menial tasks, or be killed.
Yesterday we found out that US officials have told Bernie Sanders that Russia is trying to help his campaign 30 days ago, prompting the frontrunner in the Democratic race to strongly condemn any interference. He didn’t reveal anything until WaPo realized this information.
These things with communism are going too far.

I was told there would be video.
That’s my stapler, too.

Sounds like a mass murderer in waiting.
Since these supporters like to chain themselves to things they should be doubled locked by police and left in place.
Hoorays for the CSPD. Detective Joe Kenda was not needed.
Too bad the cops didn’t bust their heads open with riot batons.
They want war, give them war.
EXACTLY
Let them rot in jail for a while.
Sort corn, lol
The violence is real, if generally unspectacular - yet.
Sanders-Soros’ minions have laid plenty of
hardcore smacks from gunfire (Scalise)
to bike locks to projectiles on the rest of us
and have not yet gotten their comeuppance
Eight losers
with
“Hammer and Sickle.”

I attended the Colorado Springs Trump/Pence Rally and I could barely see the protesters off in the distance by Venetucci Blvd. A group of protesters, all young men, tried to disrupt the Rally when Trump was speaking and as we were all asked to do by the Trump Campaign, attendees pointed out the disruptors to security and they were escorted out of the arena to a chorus of boos! After the rally, driving down Venetucci Blvd, there were probably a dozen protesters plying their signs and acting out to those of us leaving the rally.
BTW, the rally rocked and both Pence and Trump hit it out of the park with their speeches. The mood was positive and good vibes prevailed! It was like a rock concert! We even had fun waiting in line to get in the arena! I was surprised at the number of young people at the rally as well! The girl standing in line with me was 20 years old and her boss let her out of work so she could attend the rally (nice boss!). Lots of women were there too. Hispanic people were well represented and there were some black people there as well. We veterans had a big contingent! It wasn’t just older white men that the MSM tries to portray Trump Supporters as.
Yeah, the Colorado cops need to watch how it’s done when real cops take action - the 1968 Chicago cops.
And yet Keith Ellison has come out stating that there hasn’t been any violence by Bernie Bros.
I’m glad CSPD stood their ground and didn’t act like Portland PD.
We need to find the Chicago Police Department of 1968. They knew how to deal with these Commie Turds.
My opinion is that the whole red state, blue state thing was intentionally made backwards to conceal the Communist influence in Leftist states.
If Obama had a son he would look like, what, you mean he's white? Never mind.
I think everyone knows that Antifa is a Russian Communist organization. And Bernie Sanders is the Russian Communist candidate. And that communism is the goal of the LW democrats. So why is this a surprise to anyone?
Every Democrat is a violent totalitarian thug.
RE 1968 Chicago:
Different time, with different Americans, brother. Vastly different.
Most of those cops were WWII and Korea vets. If they busted some commie rat bastard’s head, it was no big deal because their bosses - OTHER WWII and Korea vets - had their backs.
That is decidedly not the case anymore.
