One of the highlights of the protests against Obama at the Democratic National Convention here in Denver was footage of a police officer slamming a young lady to the ground with his baton and shouting, “Back it up, bitch.” It was a pretty good representation of Denver PD tactics as a whole during the DNC, and made national news.
And, as I just learned, there’s a T-shirt to commemorate the event.
Not quite sure what to make of this one.
Update: Since I’m reminiscing, just thought I’d post a picture of the Denver Police Department’s own commemorative T-shirt. And no, I’m not making this up.
I remember this from another time that you posted it. Frightening!
I know, Daisy. I’m trying to find the article, but the cop wasn’t even suspended. Absolutely no accountability.
