The protest circus continues.
When they’re not blocking traffic and milling around on bridges for the hell of it, the “solidarity” mob tonight is busy yelling at police…and each other.
Cue the “Send in the Clowns” music in Denver:

Now some infighting between some of the protesters. Don't know what sparked it. Lot's of screaming. #Denver

@DenverPolice Protesting the very ones who are risking their lives to keep them safe while. It's not irony, it's just dumb.

It's tense here, at least 25 cops and 50 protesters. One man yells to police, 'you guys chose the wrong side! War's coming!' #Denver
