#1 Friendly but firm?

"Please put down that brick and disperse. We are asking nicely. No?"

*SMACK!!*

"Get the cuffs, Ponch!"

#2 Darth,

Better yet:
"Please put down that brick and disperse. We are asking nicely. No?"

BANG!

"Get the body bags, Ponch"
"Oh and an ambulance for the survivor"

#3 I'm hoping the Denver PD gets overwhelmed and the Code Pinkos, anarchist, and nutroots make it into the convention center. But then again, I'm an evil asshole. Think how great it would look on live Network TV...heh

then I hope the CO NG take back the center with tear gas and wicked thumpings

/wake up Frank, you're dreaming ...and smiling

#5 If it follows true to form, the ninnies will demand that the police have to be nice to the demonstrators. The demos sense this, and riot while the police back off. So the next day, the ninnies tell the police to brutalize the demos.

However, if some serious agitators get organized, the police could quickly find themselves outmaneuvered. They do this by creating feints, that cause the police to concentrate, then the agitators attack from a different direction, where there are few police.

The police then shift, but by the time they arrive, the agitators have moved on to where the police aren't. And by using throw away cellphones, the agitators have commo, and use brief text messages or single world codes. The only way to stop it is to turn off the cellular towers, or disrupt phone service, and that ain't gonna happen.

One grand technique is for a small group of agitators to rush a high rise business office in another part of town. They take the elevator up to a high floor, then just hang out with the terrified office workers, who flood the 911 lines calling for police help. But the agitators don't actually do anything, except meander around, so can't even be cited for trespassing.

Denver is such an amazing opportunity for troublemakers that it almost boggles the imagination.
