Denver, Colorado - After days of low-key protests, 100 demonstrators were arrested by police on the sidelines of the Democratic National Convention after refusing requests to disperse, police media officials said Tuesday.
Police said in a statement that a protest crowd of about 300 people had gathered near Civic Center Park near the state capitol building in downtown Denver, and "many were observed carrying rocks and other items that could be used to threaten public safety."
Denver police used pepper spray after the protestors "suddenly rushed a police safety line," police said.
