Police propose law to take pipes and chains out of protesters' hands


Denver, Colorado - A draft law proposed by the Denver Police Department would ban the possession by protesters of materials such as weighted pipes and chains and items that can make urine and feces bombs. Police say that such materials are potentially dangerous. The City Council Safety Committee will review the proposal July 23. An earlier version also would have made it unlawful to possess bulletproof vests and gas masks. Safety Manager Al LaCabe, who oversees the police department, said the proposed ordinance requires authorities, before they make an arrest, to find an intent to use the material to obstruct the public's right to move freely.
