Denver: It's a Riot! (Almost)
Farai Chideya, NPR
Okay, I'm officially in No-Sleep-Til-Brooklyn (or St. Paul) mode. Tomorrow, we head to Minnesota for the Republican Convention. Tonight is the big speech. And yesterday, there was ... a non-riot.
What I mean by that was that a bunch of protesters from a Rage Against the Machine concert/anti-war protest almost clashed with police. Almost.
I was there just inside the security perimeter when more SWAT team-ers than I have ever seen in my life started pushing back the crowds. I expected a riot. But there was none. The protesters turned away.
The security here is unbelievable. ... I expect more at tonight's speech.
