The Fort Collins PD didn’t care when the scum from Antifa attacked the patriots but they sure got upset when decent people fought back.

Screw the Democrat-run police! Defund them if they won’t do their jobs!

>>>Typical thinking in the Socialist State of Colorado<<<

When I was a kid, the saying was “the only good Commie is a dead Commie.

Nowadays, “the only good Socialist is a dead Socialist” might end up being more timely.

After all, a Socialist is just a Communist who hasn’t Murdered anyone “yet”.

Socialists don’t give a crap about the suburbs where normal working people live. But let the demonstrators go downtown and set Old Town Ft. Collins on fire, or wall off Larimer Square in Denver and declare it a no cop zone and you’ll see even Colorado socialists get all excited once they can smell the smoke and stench from the balconies of their restored victorians where they sip their lattes.

Be careful what you ask for. Most likely a Petri dish overflowing with STD’s and crazier than any ten men.

The Police are on your side. They will protect you to the last drop of their blood. Keep believing that. Believe it all the way to the jail house. To the prison. To the firing wall. According to the Police Chief’s statement, if someone or a lot of someones wishes to set up residence in your castle, you can’t say nay. Should one wish to have a backyard, or a front yard as far as that goes with invited guests and others invite themselves to partake and participate, one cannot deny them.

That’s what I was thinking. They do not look like productive Americans.

I was there. A cloudy, wet day until Rush got on the stage to speak. Then the sun came out. I still have the tee-shirt.

Fort Collins isn’t too bad when the students are gone, as they are now. Lots of conservative people in the surrounding area. Little ‘farm town’ Berthoud, 25 miles to the south of Fort Collins ran off antifa a couple of weeks ago. The Larimer County Sheriff’s Department on horseback, definitely encouraged the counter protestors to leave. Berthoud has no police department of its own, unlike Fort Collins.

“The chief says there were aggressors on both sides.”

Find that hard to believe.

Damned lowlife. They did nothing but expel antifa from their notorious and keep them away from their houses. Why? Because the police won’t. Eff this tool, try to get a conviction sport. Try to convince a jury.

“Keep your mouths shut. Don’t say a word to the cops.

Not one word.”

Universally good advice, in all possible situations.

Law enforcement is not the exclusive province of police.

“I don’t know why anybody at this point still believes cops are the good guys. “

It’s a damn mystery to me too.

I don't understand the cops. They are indifferent to crimes on the streets, yet they are actively going after folks who support them?

I understand cops. They follow orders. The orders come from the politicians who give orders to the Chief of Police.

Right or wrong doesn't matter. Not following orders means you are fired and lose your pension.

If the police & gubmint will not protect citizens & property, the people will.

Yup. The problem is, the 'government' has decided that anyone who attempts to police his neighborhood is a criminal, while the actual criminals are 'protesters'. I saw that vid yesterday. They should have beaten the antifaggots to bloody pulps. They fact that they could walk away indicates they were shown mercy they didn't deserve.

Well, that POS Denver Police Chief should be hanging his head in shame. Ordering his department to stand down when the violent Antifa thugs beat the pro-police demonstrators. Be a damn man, protect the citizens and take the political fallout. If that means getting fired, then so be it. Resign afterward you give the orders, take your pension and go on the news programs with details of the orders you received, sharing emails, phone calls, etc. But, I guess standing up for what is right is the job of a strong person. Maybe they should be defunded.

And if the antifa/blm terrorists were tearing up the neighborhood the police would just stand back and let them.

Not where I live. If that's the way it works where you live, you live in the wrong town.

They have crapped away a lot of goodwill obeying the fascists orders. Stories like this make me sick.

Yep... It's called "Doing the work that the cops refuse to do"...
