| Denver Police Union Head Confirms ‘Stand-Down’ Order was in Place at Pro-Cop Rally |
| 2020-07-25 |
| [AMGREATNESS] Randy Corporon, a lawyer and one of the rally’s organizers, revealed that the excuse he was given by Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen, prior to the event, was that Pazen feared that “his officers were going to get hurt.” Corporon says he responded by simply saying that “he should allow his officers to do their job…if people are down there breaking the law, stop them.” Remember back in World War II, when Patton refused to let his men assault Anzio Beach because his men might get hurt? And that time Eisenhower thought about taking Normandy? And Zhukov was gonna throw the Nazis out of Stalingrad? |

| #10 "also tell them next time they will have their own armed security and will defend themselves against bodily harm with deadly force." They could call themselves Peelers. Rather than the anti-Peel Principles the Denver |

| #8 Deadly force is a can of worms. Why not just have the crowd practice stampeding towards the attackers after some "unknown" person shouts Gun! |

| #7 The people that were attacked, and had all the lawful permits mind you, should sue the city of Denver. And also tell them next time they will have their own armed security and will defend themselves against bodily harm with deadly force. |

| #5 It is often pointed out that the police are not able or required to stop crime, but are merely to address crimes committed. If "might get hurt" is the new bar, I suggest "Serve and Protect" be removed from squad cars, uniform patches, badges, letterhead and promotional materials, as it's false advertising. |

| #1 Can you say 'conspiracy to violate civil rights' boys and girls. The Donks played this game in the South and elsewhere in the 20's though the '60s in the last century when it came to looking the other way when their muscle, the Klan, ran the local neighborhood. * Patton was not involved in the Italian campaign after the slapping incident in Sicily. He would be sidelined till after Normandy. The Americans found someone else as 'competent' as the British had found for Gallipoli to carry that one out instead. |
