The ACLU of Colorado filed a lawsuit against the city of Denver today to try to force the city to disclose what kind of police equipment it is buying in preparation for the Democratic National Convention this August.
Denver turned down the ACLU's request for the information about the purchase of police equipment earlier this year, saying that disclosure "could potentially disclose tactical security information of the Denver Police Department which would be contrary to the public interest."
the city is actually going to spend closer to half of the $50 million on equipment and the rest on personnel.
But the department has declined to share details, citing safety and security.
When the purchase of wireless cameras was discussed at the mayor/City Council meeting Tuesday and Councilwoman Jeanne Robb asked where they would be located, Deputy Mayor Bill Vidal, who was filling in for Hickenlooper, jokingly told her that they would have to kill her if they told her.

An associate of mine is familiar with the police planning for the DNC in Denver.
He says the brass are saying the exact same things that the seattle police were saying prior to WTO.
The non-brass are preparing for the worst.

Seattle was a big mess.
The liberal politicians told the police to be nice, then blamed the police when the city was trashed.
Hopefully. the non brass will protect the citizens as the governor is a useless tool.
