Convention Money
Denver received a $50-million federal grant for security for the August 25-28 Democrat National Convention. That’s close to the price tag of the convention itself, courtesy of the American taxpayer. The police are using some of the funds to stock up on pepper-spray-like projectiles that will be used should the thousands of expected protestors get unruly. The armory will include the dreaded crap cannon as well. Other crowd control measures as yet undisclosed will also be deployed, but the good old ACLU has filed a civil lawsuit to find out just what Denver police have in store because they can’t wait two months to find out.
