“I find great concern with a Police Chief who doesn’t know it is illegal to block an Interstate.”

Of course, that would be criminal under federal law and it’s so hard for local police to keep up with federal law.

The Officials in charge in should be tried for criminal negligence. How much longer are we going them to continue to slaughter us as we we roll over on our backs and put our hands and feet in the air with out tails tucked between our legs. Now, we are the criminal with no right to defend our selves. The what were once criminals are now the protected ones while the Police protect them as they kill us. When will we fight back? When will we decide if we are going to die, we will take some company with us? Never?

Interim Chief of Police (Aurora, Col), sounds like an idiot. Cars are SUPPOSED to drive on the interstate. If protestors get in their way, tough shit.

Why are most to women police officers Marxists, feminazis, incompetent and just plain stupid? This has been true in California, Colorado, Seattle, Texas, etc.

Well, she’s probably a Democrat, so she could probably accurately describe herself as a man among men.

Re “beating your car” needs to be expanded a little. If the protestors on the interstate did physically attack the car with THEIR HANDS, then there might be both fingerprints and skin left on it (re DNA).

I wonder if the Aurora Police Dept. even knows that fingerprints and DNA sampling exist? The Chief obviously doesn’t or doesn’t care.
Since the interstate is state property and possibly a U.S. highway (Fed. Highway Administration jurisdiction), the driver of the car, if charged, could make this a federal case and issue subpoenas up the Colorado River to every police officer/chief involved in their failure to protect the drivers/cars on this road.

Take the fight to “the enemy” and they are not just Antifa/BLM and assorted psychos, but also leftist chiefs of police and prosecutors.

We will be working with our District Attorney to discuss appropriate charges for the driver

Appropriate charges? As far as I've heard, the Jeep driver did not strike or injure any pedestrians in his escape from the mob. Only the rioter who fired into the crowd beyond the Jeep caused injuries.

”Sorry I’m not becoming Reginald Denny. If I’m surrounded and they are screaming and touching my vehicle they’re going to learn how to fly real fast.”

Same here. Never slow down for one of these mobs. As we have seen recently, all it takes is a brief opportunity and they will puncture your tires or throw objects under the wheels or in front of the car to immobilize it. Once immobilized, you are a sitting duck for whatever they want to inflict upon you.

Uh uh, no way. If I see that beginning to develop the rioters are going for a ride and their safety is none of my concern.

And then you go to prison.

Why isn’t Aurora’s Interim Chief of Police, Vanessa Wilson, keeping rioters off of the Interstate? And to be clear, you’ve crossed the line from peaceful protester to rioter when you are closing down public roads unexpectedly and enforcing the closure with armed goons.

This isn’t going to end well. People react poorly to being accosted by mobs, and many folks are well-armed.

Protecting the looters and rioters against the American people

And here we go. The police and local government do nothing to stop the rioters but immediately jump to action to investigate someone who tries to protect themselves from being hurt or murdered by these marxist thugs.

The local governments are clearly picking sides.

The article contains a lot of allegations from the protesting group about the cops and the hypothetical circumstances of the Jeep getting around a police barrier to enter the highway. But then there's this passage:

According to APD, after driving through the crowd of protesters, the driver pulled over at East 6th Avenue and Billings Street. He located officers who were investigating a separate, unrelated crash at that location.

So... If the Jeep driver had any malicious intent to harm, why then would he track down the first police officer he found and essentially allow himself to be arrested?
