The premeditated attack by violent leftists on Sunday that shut down a pro-police rally in Denver, injuring several of the speakers, is not being forgotten. Yesterday, Michelle Malkin, the best known invited speaker who was roughed up and had to run for her life to safety, filed a formal Colorado Open Records Act Request addressed to the Denver Police Department. It asked for the following:
All communications (electronic, written, faxed, text messages, or otherwise) regarding the 7/19/20 permitted Law Enforcement Appreciation Day celebration and the unpermitted counter-protest at the State Capitol;
All Operations Plans and Official Action reports regarding the 7/19/20 permitted event and unpermitted event (This date specifies the date of the events, not the date of creation of records. I request all Operations Plans and Official Action reports relevant to activities on this date, regardless of when these reports were created);
Any and all communications regarding stand down orders, retreat orders, and communications between the incident commander and other officers, supervisors, and other DPD personnel regarding such orders.

It’s looking more so everyday the democrats will be in a behind the wood shed meeting at the elections this year.
From 7/2017
Accountability???...cmon Michelle you are addressing cops ordered about by blue leftists...they only protect mostly peaceful leftist protesters...
No doubt that was exactly her point. She proved it irrefutably, and at great risk to herself.
Malkin was on local Denver radio two days ago and a DPD cop who called in was near tears about what happened. Without naming names, he shared that a dept commander did issue a Stand Down and vacate. One Lt responded back that he would not vacate. The caller has names, so I suspect he’ll give or has given the info to Malkin.
What is the point of having a support the police rally in a town that has armies of violent leftists? The pro police folks had to know there would be trouble. Even if they had been protected by a line of cops keeping the leftists back, what benefit comes from holding the rally and giving the crazies a target?
Arent there more productive ways for the patriots to spend their energies and their Sunday afternoon? Maybe precinct walking for the Trump campaign, to register voters in conservative neighborhoods communities, to actually help with a favorable outcome at the polls this November?
What tangible positive change comes about from a pro police rally- especially in a town where leftist riots are almost guaranteed?
Besides generating publicity, whats the value of these rallies?
‘The “backlash” for defending our constitutional rights was too high a price to pay, he told me’
I must be slow today.....what does he mean?
Government at all levels increasingly is about bureaucratic self-interest, politics and creating crony-capitalist monopolies of money and power.

As Bureaucracies grow, they do less and less work with more and more tax monies until they do nothing and consume everything.
4.) Denver cops are sick of politicians, their bosses and the public at large and wish we would all drop dead.
That's right. The venue should have been chosen as friendly turf. Denver is not too different from Charlotte NC - enemy turf.
I hear unemployment pays GREAT.
Cops are in the business of enforcing the law no? That’s why they are called law enforcement.
So if laws are being broken in front of the the police, their business would be to enforce the law no? If a bank robbery is taking place and the police come upon it what would they do?
This is not about protecting anybody. It’s about enforcing the law.
“he shared that a dept commander did issue a Stand Down”
And it almost certainly came from Pazen who got it from the Affirmative Action nobody named Mike Hancock.
Denver is beyond ridiculous.
Until the GOP goes on the offense? Who? Mitch McConnell? John Cornyn? Ted (TWITter) Cruz? Marco Rubio? Or are you waiting for the mighty mighty Leslie Graham to make a stand?. If there is a GOP, its us because all of them stand for nothing but the lies that got them elected! We have to make the stand! We have to defy the cops and take they @ssholes on the left out. There is no more justice. You either get them when they are on the street, or fight them every night at your house, resturant, movie theater, school, etc. This is an ideological war, that has become a cancer. You either kill it at one spot, or fight it after it spreads. Trump is showing he cannot do it alone. The future is that we will have to disobey the law to get it back online!
“2.) Denver cops are commies who agree with the mob.”
Most, if not all, of today’s cops, have been raised on a steady diet of hate-America-First spewed at them from grade school thru college. Most of the Chiefs of Police are political appointees, appointed for their loyalty to the democrat party, and not for the law enforcement experience. Notice how many of them are women, blacks, and other “oppressed” minorities. I suspect that many of the cops actually sympathize with or support the rioters, looters, vandals, and arsonists.
“Strangely, the GOP has never done anything about these. Just like they didnt do anything useful about Kelo v. New London.”
Actually not strangely. For the past 50 years the GOP has consistently been the reliable servant of multinational corporations, foreign governments, and Wall Street banks. Most legislative activity involves carving out provisions for special interests. Even “middle class” tax bills promoted and passed by GOP politicians provide more economic benefit for the upper 5% than the middle class. The GOP has actively facilitated the liberal agenda for decades. Plus the GOP has been the party of using the military in countless foreign adventures since WWII.
The GOP has been masterful at gaining votes from gullible conservatives. They’ve talked a good game about protecting individual liberties and small business. When the record is scrutinized in detail, GOP politicians do very little for average Americans.
How’s that promised repeal of Obamacare working out for everyone? How about the border wall the Paul Ryan House and Mitch McConnell Senate refused to fund? How about defunding Planned Parenthood or undoing the worst elements of the Great Society? How the billions voted to fund the Department if Propaganda (Education) and the leftists who convert our children into Marxists?
It is election time and GOP politicians are spewing commercials and emails claiming they are “fighting for me”. The truth is they don’t “fight” for me. Either that or they didn’t fight well enough and lost the war years ago. Somehow I suspect the next time Goldman Sachs, Amazon, or Exxon want’s a special regulatory or legislative action, those same GOP congress critters will make it happen.
And, those people were there to support the police. Unbelievable! I can't believe how appalling that is, to watch as someone is attacked who is there to support them, and not help in any way, orders or no orders. If those orders were given to stand down, they should have been ignored. Now, I think it is a mistake to support ANY police in ANY blue city - the police in those cities SHOULD be defunded!
Yeah, that wasn’t a serious “strangely” - I know full well why they haven’t.
And yet there are people here worshipping old-line GOPe members that are still in office, having done actually very little.
Time to name and shame, then.
