A protest in front of Denver Police headquarters is small but has escalated quickly. About 50 protesters are here right now, many with shields and helmets. A van pulled up and passed out shields to protesters. Protesters are at a standoff with a SWAT team now #9News pic.twitter.com/XlzmcenfG9

A tree is on fire outside the courthouse. People are throwing rocks at a Sheriff’s Office van. Important to note, nearly all of the protesters have shields or helmets. Most are dressed in all black #9News pic.twitter.com/xojCHYDVmX

Someone with a hand axe broke a window at a building across from DPD headquarters. A resident who says she lives in the building came down and yelled at them to stop. “This is not productive” #9News pic.twitter.com/ErgOZttBFT

People are breaking every window they see. Someone came out of Quiznos with a drink in hand and said, “I needed a coke” #9News pic.twitter.com/q5r6niZq0O

Police put out another fire set in the middle of the road. The backdrop is the Denver city county building. The group breaking windows and setting fires is about 100 people. They’re moving throughout the city without any regard for the law #9News pic.twitter.com/dnhb9ANSFf

And who are the Republicans/Russians secretly funding and stirring up these protests. (Russians were doing something similar in Catalonia)

thank you. this one did look amazingly suspicious

AHA and WOW they are being treated almost as "outside agitators", REALLY TOUGH LANGUAGE and promised serious punishment for these anarchists with weapons intending to hurt officers and hurt their city

The (black) mayor of Denver declared that a riot took place Saturday night and those arrested appear to be almost exclusively whiteshttps://t.co/FTb1OvM3Aa

Portland needs to do this!!! And say this!!!These white anarchists do NOT represent BLM in any way shape or form. Both Director and Mayor condiemn them, say that they will never be prescribed as "protesters".

This is what Dem mayors need to do, this is the way they need to talk!

All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D
