This was after the tear-down of the camp.

Cops referred to protestors as scum-bags, shit-bags, garbage, losers, and other choice names.
I asked why they felt it necessary to call them names...non-stop name calling.
Hey, you should hear the names they call us.

They were assholes, big tobacco chewing bullies.

John Hickenlooper is an asshole too.
