Has turned violent. The police are shooting rubber bullets and gassing the people.

I don't see how doing this to a peaceful protest can be beneficial for anyone

The only people it benefits are the protesters themselves because of the publicity. Police fail.

DENVER – At least seven people were arrested in downtown Denver during a confrontation between Denver Police and Occupy Denver protesters Saturday afternoon.
A police spokesman says the confrontation began when some Occupy Denver protesters tried to "occupy" the state capitol, which is illegal.
“I saw the police become brutal for no reason,” said a woman who was at the protest. “I saw them choke a guy, I saw people get tear gassed who weren’t violent.”
Apparently a professional liar
Quote:
Witnesses say some in the crowd were throwing objects at police, and that a police officer patrolling the protest on a motorcycle was pushed off his bike.
“We did have an officer who was pushed off his motorcycle and we had officers who were kicked,” said Denver Police Lieutenant Matt Murray. “When it escalated to that point we made an all-citywide call for every available officer, and that’s what you’re seeing now.”
No serious injuries have been reported.
Sources say a few officers have resorted to pepper spray and other non-lethal devices such as rubber bullets in an effort to control the crowd.
Just after 6 p.m., police gave protesters a five minute warning to remove tents and other temporary structures from downtown parks.
If they want to get violent they will get violence in return. The police are a lot better at it than the retards are.
