Police launch early morning sweep of homeless camp near Capitol
With little warning and contrary to federal health guidelines, Colorado State Patrol troopers, Denver police and other city workers swept a large homeless encampment Wednesday morning out of Lincoln Park, just west of the State Capitol. Last week, Gov. Jared Polis said he would welcome the camp’s removal, but Denver health officials said Wednesday the decision to uproot the camp was theirs and that the sweep had been in the works for weeks. The sweep also comes less than a week after Denver Public Safety Director Murphy Robinson gave troopers from the Colorado State Patrol authority to enforce municipal ordinances — including the urban camping ban — on state property in Denver. There was just a conflict between a small group of about 10 people and police, I am not sure if they live here or came from outside to protest. One man was handcuffed after he climbed on a garbage truck apparently in protest of the removal. pic.twitter.com/1PYUuGy0ni — Shelly Bradbury … [Read more...] about Police launch early morning sweep of homeless camp near Capitol
