Denver police officers were told to retreat before a pro-police rally was attacked on Sunday, the head of the city’s police union said.
“I found out that a retreat order was given by the incident commander,” officer Nick Rogers, president of the Denver Police Protective Association, said.
“And we had one lieutenant step up and said, ‘We’re not leaving.’ And this lieutenant said, ‘These people are going to get killed if we don’t stay.’ So he kept his group there. And that’s the only reason that this didn’t get worse, because somebody broke rank and decided to not retreat. And they stayed so that they could provide some assistance.”
Rogers was speaking on KNUS radio.
The Denver Police Department didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Michelle Malkin, a conservative activist, and Colorado House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, a Republican, were among those scheduled to speak at the rally, which was held on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Civic Center Park in Denver.

Trump will take over demonrat run Denver as well. The US Constitution puts him in charge of executing the law of the land and he will do so, because he is the Law and Order president like no one before him. I am certain that he will prevail before too long and also take charge of the judiciary to ensure that the terrorists get convicted to the full extent of the law.
The only thing that keeps us from the abyss is the rule of law and respect for the law, both of which are rapidly disappearing. When "rule of law" is tainted by submission to the whims of those who disrespect the law they are sworn to uphold then there really is nothing left.
That is what happens when you do the right thing.
Democrats aren't fascists because WHY?
Demoncrats, antifa, and BLM are COMMUNIST AND MUST BE PURGED FROM THE UNITED STATES!!
WE'll LOSE OUR COUNTRY FOR SURE IF WE DON'T!!!
Worse, we'll lose our freedom and liberties if we do not get rid of anybody who isn't on the side of America and our President!
