Police: 12 arrested, 1 officer hurt during riot in Denver City officials say dozens of armed “anarchists” descended on the Denver Police Headquarters late Saturday and damaged buildings, set fires and injured an officerDENVER -- Dozens of armed “anarchists” descended on the Denver Police Headquarters late Saturday and damaged buildings, set fires and injured an officer, city officials said Sunday. “The people that showed up last night — the anarchists that showed up last night — brought weapons to the table. One officer suffered a concussion and third-degree burns, said Police Chief Paul Pazen. “The narrative that these anarchists are marching for justice of Black lives is frankly false,” said Robinson, who is Black. “We're not going to stand for their anarchy, their chaos or their mindless destruction in our city," Mayor Michael B. Hancock said.
