There is a madness afoot. Half the country is stark raving mad.
Half the country is prohibited from speaking – the other half is awarded millions to enforce the crackdown. A Colorado jury on Friday awarded a $14 million judgment to 12 protesters after finding Denver police officers violated their constitutional rights.
In NYC we are still in litigation over their prohibition of our demonstrations. We were not even allowed to hold a protest.

Colorado jury awards $14M to protesters over police actions during 2020 Denver demonstrations

A Colorado jury on Friday awarded a $14 million judgment to 12 protesters after finding Denver police officers violated their constitutional rights amid chaotic demonstrations in 2020 over police brutality and racial injustice.
ADVERTISEMENTJurors found Denver violated the First and Fourth Amendment rights of protesters, who claimed police officers injured them during the gatherings that were sparked by the death of George Floyd, the Denver Post reported. They heard testimony about the alleged failure of police to coordinate during the law enforcement response during the three-week civil trial.
The 12 plaintiffs were injured with bean bags and pepper-sprayed during several days of gatherings in downtown Denver. At the end of the trial, attorneys asked the jury to award $17.5 million in damages.
“I think we established that when there are people committing acts of violence, what the police should do is take action against those people. What you can’t do is take it out on the peaceful protesters,” Tim Macdonald, attorney for seven plaintiffs, told Fox News. “The acts of violence against peaceful protesters by the police were so extensive, I think that’s what persuaded the jury.
He added that the city never presented evidence or argued that the plaintiffs had acted violently.
“The Denver protests in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder were unprecedented – the city had never seen that level of sustained violence and destruction before,” the Denver Department of Public Safety said in a statement to Fox News. “We were prepared for a worst-case scenario, but we weren’t fully prepared for what transpired.”
