These “peaceful” protesters had no idea..

This is a really a 100 cop shut down a

highway takeover.

A highway takeover.

Oh my god.

>> All highway access, all regional

thoroughfares will be utilized.

>> Jesus.

Use chemicals? It's good.

>> When hundreds of protesters tried to

storm a major interstate, the police had

one job: hold them back or watch the

city descend into chaos.

>> That's right.

>> [ __ ] WE JUST LOST RIGHTS.

>> What right are you losing? Like what's

what's the right to stand in the road?

What about somebody's right to drive

around?

What about that?

>> I'm on the way.

>> You're inside.

>> There you go. There you go.

>> On June 14th, 2025, in Denver, Colorado,

thousands had spent the day marching

peacefully as part of the nationwide No

Kings protests. There'd only been one

arrest, and by 4:00 p.m., most had gone

home, but one group wasn't done. They

had plans to storm the I-25, the main

road running through the

>> I do really think that by the way, this

is just like one thing, is like I really

think we need to have our guys wearing

[ __ ] like this.

Like can you imagine the aura of like

100 police officers showing up like

this?

Oh my god.

>> part of Denver. If they made it to the

highway, it would mean stopping traffic,

risking lives, blocking emergency

vehicles, and handing the crowd an open

interstate with no way to contain

>> That's the thing too, is that like if

you whenever you create a traffic build

up, you do delay emergency vehicles,

even if you do so indirectly. Cuz like

you guys know, like here's a good

example, like you look up here, how many

of you guys, like let's say there's road

work being done right here, and then

it's really hard to even get in or or to

get onto the highway. Like let's say

this merge is on. It doesn't merge on, I

see. But like let's say it merges on and

like even merging is like everybody

stopped even from here. So like it

creates a delay in like there's like a

like an after effect. It's like a ripple

effect

whenever you [ __ ] up traffic.

>> No.

Do you think traffic is like really

[ __ ] up right now?

Like

You [ __ ] up one thing, it [ __ ]

everything up.

>> This is the Denver Police Department.

You will be denied all highway access.

>> Bringing the tanks.

>> Return and march away from the highway.

This is the Denver Police Department.

All reasonable force will be utilized

including chemical munitions.

Return

and march

away from the highway.

This is the Denver Police Department.

You will be denied all highway access.

>> Good.

>> All reasonable force will be utilized

including chemical munitions.

>> Uh-huh.

>> How many tactical units are you

positioning?

>> Bring back the water cannons? Don't want

to use the water cannons.

Who do you serve?

ANARCHISTS. GREAT.

>> WE'RE HAVING NO OTHER REPORTS OF ROCKS

SHATTERED OR JUST CHANTING.

IF THEY TAKE THE ROUTE THAT I'M GOING TO

DO UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY, if they do

unlawful assembly before it's complete,

we'll just hold.

>> Uh-huh.

>> Who do you serve?

>> ARE SICK.

>> THEN GET OUT OF THE ROAD.

IS SHE REALLY READING HER She's reading

her chance off of her phone?

Oh my god, look at this.

Look.

Jesus Christ, like a script. Yeah.

>> So far, the crowd had been relatively

peaceful, but slowly, things are

starting to escalate, and the police had

to find a way to DISPERSE THE CROWD.

>> OH MY GOD.

>> DISTRICT 12, TEAM ONE, THEY'RE trying to

push through your line. I'm going to

start with unlawful assembly.

They're trying to push. You can put down

some pepper spray or mace.

>> Yeah.

>> Rain down the arena boss mechanics.

Yeah.

>> Uh-huh.

>> No cops?

cops. No cops.

>> I don't see a riot here.

>> The funny thing is that if there were no

cops,

some random guy would probably drive by,

some like I guarantee you one of those

like conspiracy super right-wing guys

that has like 50 guns would just drive

by and gun all of you people down.

You'd all be dead if there were no cops.

The only reason why you're alive is that

there's cops.

The reason why people aren't running you

people over is because there's no

there's cops that are stopping you from

doing this.

>> There's no riot here.

>> Everybody start connecting.

>> being protected right now.

Exactly, yeah.

Or they run them over, I could just run

over stupid idiots.

>> to follow their orders. So, the police

had no choice but to turn up the heat.

>> Uh-huh.

>> Your time is up.

You must leave now.

>> Move it out, fellas.

>> Hold the line.

>> This from the count of six back that is

pepper ball. Pepper ball is being

deployed.

>> No.

>> That's a

>> Gas them, yeah.

>> The gas was effective in pushing the

crowd back and creating distance between

protesters and police,

>> it was.

>> but it also raised tensions across the

scene, leaving many people frustrated,

agitated, and more confrontational than

they had been moments earlier.

>> I absolutely hate that they even play at

all with these people. Like if you're

going around blocking a street and

you're just marching down and you're

making it to where like nobody can use

the road, I think that they should just

totally [ __ ] like Imperial you out.

Like totally go Warhammer 40K on these

people. Get rid of them. Send in like

whatever militarized police that you

need and then tell them like if you

don't get out of the street, you're

getting moved out of the street in 30

seconds.

That's what I think is

Yeah.

Rubber bullets, the paintball guns,

running over them if you have to.

The whole way.

WITH A BULLDOZER.

SNOW PLOWS, YEAH.

SNOW PLOWS is a good idea. I like that.

>> The crowd is now starting to spread out

and the cops are worried they can't hold

everyone back. So they call in

reinforcements hoping they make it to

the scene in time.

>> You're insane. That's way too soft. I

know. I know. I'm a nice guy.

I'm a really nice guy.

Think about how much money gets spent on

having to do this, too.

These are the same people complaining

about like health care and everything.

They never think about how much money

they make the police spend to try to

stop them from like destroying society.

What would Genghis Khan do about the

situation? What?

There wouldn't be any protesters.

Because he'd be a great leader and there

wouldn't need to protest, right? That's

the reason why.

Yeah. That's the reason why.

The huh?

>> Turn your mother in right here, you

guys.

So is your grandpa that fought World War

II. II.

>> I love this narrative. These people

think that all of the guys that fought

World War II would be the ones that were

supporting them.

Like how dumb do you have to be?

>> Really?

>> Hammer clue, yeah.

Scatter, boys.

There you go. There you go.

>> And we got a smokes person.

Smokes person.

Smokes person, please.

Who would like to speak, please? We're

interested in speaking.

We're interested in speaking and peace.

>> A member of the crowd had spoken up

asking for peace, but the situation was

about to move in the opposite direction

as police began putting their next plan

into action.

>> There you go.

Uh-huh.

Peaceful protest. If we say we're

peacefully protesting, that means we're

peace It's not peaceful when you

obstruct traffic.

Yeah, what do you mean?

>> I did.

>> The harm?

I would love for martial law to lose a

bunch of these people so badly.

>> I know. I KNOW.

>> MOVE BACK.

MOVE BACK.

>> MHM.

>> MOVE BACK.

>> BY THE WAY, I THINK THE POLICE

completely mismanaged these situations.

I think that the entire way that they

handle rioters is like a huge mistake.

I I do. I think that you can you can be

a lot more aggressive with them and like

they they don't handle this in the right

way, I think. They're just reactive.

Yeah, they're way too soft.

They enable it? Yeah.

They're scared of the reaction?

Why? They're the ones that have the

guns.

Yeah, what do you mean?

What are they going to do?

>> We need help on those things. We need

help on those things.

>> They threw a rock? Of course.

It's what they do.

Oh my god. Look at them. Look at them

go. Holy [ __ ] Look at all that.

Oh my god.

Look at this.

What a picture, guys.

This is You're making history.

You're making

>> These people are so obsessed with the

optics and the way that they're seen.

It's so embarrassing.

Like it it's it's constantly about like

what people are going to say about you.

What are people going to think about

you? Like what are people going to say

about you? Like it's just it's nuts.

>> History.

Shame.

>> Yeah.

>> Shame. [cheering]

Shame.

>> We enable it, we do.

>> [cheering]

>> You're making history.

Shame.

Shame.

Shame.

Shame.

Shame.

>> Making history? Yeah.

Yeah, they're all going to remember when

a bunch of retards

>> left side lost personnel and continued

dealing with rocks from the crowd. That

part of the line began to weaken. With

fewer options available, police needed

to adjust their approach before the

situation became harder to manage.

>> Once we start pushing, we can't stop.

Cuz they just started to start throwing

rocks again.

Boys,

we're going to try and get that speaker

if we have an opportunity. If I was

talking to you here, I got the arrest

team coming your way through here.

>> Isn't it crazy we put up with this?

>> down. Give them the camera cuz that's

who we're going after.

>> Don't let this escalate.

This has escalated enough.

This has escalated enough.

Shame on you.

Shame on you.

>> Uh-huh.

>> Yeah, he knows.

>> Yeah.

>> Whatever, we're going to make sure that

we have arrest teams. Make sure we have

arrest teams prior to 6100 and an

officer team arriving if you would,

please. Make sure we have everything

set.

Once we start pushing, we will not stop.

>> Okay.

They're not going to stop. They're not

going to stop. They're going to keep

pushing.

>> Jesus, look at them all.

>> Yeah.

>> They're running away?

I don't know if they're coming or going,

actually.

>> Set up another arrest team.

>> Uh-huh.

>> Yeah.

>> Let's send an arrest team.

>> Yeah, I got that one.

>> Yeah.

>> I'm I'm going for the instigators with

the microphones.

>> That's smart.

Yeah.

That, by the way, is the wrong way to

handle it. What you should do is you

have to do it totally at random. People

are always afraid of People are afraid

of unfairness. Fairness can always be

calculated and prevented and predicted

and accounted for, but unfairness can't

be. And what I would do in this

situation is I would just I would round

all these people up and I'd say, "Pick a

number between 1 and 10."

And, you know, write it down. Everybody

with a six is arrested.

That's it. And now you're going to

prison.

I just immediately detain them, then let

everybody else go.

Now, why is that?

Because it [ __ ] with people's heads.

That's the way you do things. Is that

unfairness is what people are afraid of

because unfairness is unpredictable.

Unpredictability is what scares people

more than anything.

Everything and like, you know, even

death scares people, right? People grow

to understand it because they can they

know what's going to happen.

Fundamentally, if you want people to do

what you want,

you have to be unpredictable because

being unpredictable makes you scary.

And that's the way you handle things.

That's how you deal with these people.

>> Is that what the IRGC does?

>> Yeah, of course.

It works.

Yeah.

How would you do some medieval times?

WELL,

UH-HUH.

UH-HUH.

>> YOU ARE GETTING SMALL GROUPS PEELING

OFF, so

>> I bet they are.

>> Send reinforcements to the perimeter

again.

There's a group of about 15

in black.

We're trying to keep an eye on them.

>> As police waited for reinforcements, a

small group of protesters broke away

from the larger crowd. Officers didn't

realize it yet, but that group would

soon become the biggest challenge of the

day.

>> Uh-huh.

>> Tell everybody I want every supervisor

on the line.

If you step back there and I'm seeing

empty cars, there was nobody in the

seat.

We're going to have drivers in these

seats cuz we both have cars. We don't

want to leave any cars behind.

Everyone out of their vehicles should

not be on the line.

You should be in the seat of your car.

>> Mhm.

>> So you can move your vehicle off.

>> We have multiple subjects throwing gray

smoke.

>> Is that a broomstick?

>> You want to find out?

Jesus, bro, like

Oh my god.

>> Looks like we have all the way to

McDonald's.

>> Push them back to McDonald's, boys.

They have so much fun shooting them.

Yeah, I bet they are.

>> Good job, everyone. Keep it up. We'll

keep pushing them.

>> The officers finally spot their moment

to put their plan into action. They

locate the main instigators and look at

take them down.

There it is. There it is.

I don't know.

>> [screaming]

>> Jesus.

I'm a journalist.

Oh, that's crazy. Wow.

Write that down.

I can't breathe. I know.

This is 2025. That's like way DRT now.

People have used that too much. They

spammed it.

The rainbow umbrella. Oh my god. These

people are just

Look at it, just running them down.

OH MY GOD.

>> STOP FIGHTING.

GIVE ME YOUR HANDS.

>> STOP.

>> STOP FIGHTING. PUT YOUR HANDS UP.

>> STOP FIGHTING.

>> PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK.

>> NO, I CAN'T BREATHE.

>> Put your hands up.

>> PUT YOUR HANDS UP.

>> I'M GOING TO BREATHE.

I CAN'T BREATHE.

>> PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOU.

PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND your back. Put

them behind YOUR BACK.

>> FOR WHAT? WHAT DID I DO?

>> SIR, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

>> I DIDN'T do anything.

I didn't do anything. Everything I have

on me

was for self-defense.

What?

Look what I got myself into.

>> Uh-huh.

>> But But exactly did I do though?

Wait, what?

>> Fighting in the light.

>> I didn't DO ANYTHING THOUGH.

HE'S TRYING TO RUN AWAY.

OH MY GOD.

What a [ __ ]

>> Self-defense rocks? Yeah.

>> Dennis Weaver, 6.

Dennis Weaver, 6.

>> Just go get him.

>> Ma'am.

Yeah.

>> Get him out of the street now.

>> You stand on the sidewalk.

Sidewalk, I mean. Yeah.

It's crazy how that happens.

>> Move.

It always stinks.

It makes me sneeze.

Somebody's coughing.

I did, too.

Oh, yeah, my neck's on fire. We got it.

>> Jesus.

>> It's trying to pepper spray these real

quick.

>> Really fast.

>> [ __ ] [ __ ]

>> Yep.

>> Oh, that was you?

>> Yeah.

>> By the median?

>> Yeah.

>> I saw you jumping on that one.

>> And then he like tried to run from me.

>> Yeah.

>> I laid him on the ground.

>> [ __ ] got him.

>> Flying everywhere.

>> All the money wasted, I know.

>> Body cams off.

>> Uh-oh.

>> After the main instigators were taken

down, the crowd slowly started to break

down. By 8:30 that night, 14 people had

been arrested, and the confrontation on

West Colfax was over. But, the group the

drone spotted breaking off earlier

wasn't done. At 9:30 that night, they

made another push for the highway.

Police were already staged and waiting.

A similar scene played out, and another

21 people ended up in cuffs. A protester

also lit a small fire 30 minutes later

>> enough. They don't arrest enough people.

>> near the Capitol, but it burned out on

its own. By 11:00 p.m., Denver police

had arrested 36 people on charges of

interference with police authority,

failure to obey a lawful order, unlawful

throwing of projectiles, resisting

arrest, and possession of a controlled

substance.

>> I love those videos. Honestly, I wish

the cops would do way more.

I do. I wish they would do way more. I'm

always so disappointed that they don't

go like totally Old Testament on these

guys. I do. It's like it back in the

day, like I mean, I feel like that's

kind of what they used to do. And like I

think they need to do it again. Like

they do scorched earth. Yeah, who the

[ __ ] takes drugs or something like that?

Well, they're just they're just burn out

scumbags, right? I mean, it's not really

that complicated, is it? I mean, that's

just that's what they are. Imagine the

ride to the station. Yeah, [ __ ] them,

man.
