Liberty On Tour Detained By Denver Police At Outreach Event
Liberty On Tour was at Invesco Field doing outreach activities while football fans tailgated prior to the Bronoco’s game. For several hours they handed out information, gave bus tours, and spoke to people about liberty. All was well until an Invesco Field parking lot employee called the Denver Police since she felt that she had been ‘mocked’ after she had told LOT to not offer ‘free’ beer to other tailgaters.
Earlier that day, LOT was asked to removed a ‘free beer’ sign from the bus. LOT complied immediately. They were then asked to not say ‘free beer’ but that it was okay to offer beer to people (Beer was being used as an enticement to get literature passed out and get people over to talk about liberty – which is not illegal according to a Denver police officer.) LOT then stopped using the term ‘free’ and continued handing out literature. Shortly thereafter, the Invesco field employee called her supervisor who then called the police.
Within a few moments, Adam Mueller was handcuffed and detained while Pete Eyre was being detained and interviewed. As the video shows both Adam and Pete were handcuffed and taken into custody. Adam adopted a passive and non-resistive posture and while they carried him to the detention area the police bent his wrist backwards and was checked in by a paramedic.After several hours they were released with charges of interferance, disturbing the peace, and disobeying a lawful order. Their video cameras were also confiscated for unknown reasons. Again, Adam, Pete, and those of us assisting them were doing nothing illegal…nothing.
Below is some very poor Iphone video of the incident.
Situations like these illustrate the need for web sites like Cop Block.
If you’d like to meet and speak with Adam and Pete, they will be a special guest at the Red Rocks Liberty on the Rocks this evening, Aug 30 at 5:00. These guys have had a lot of challenges (both RV issues and legal) lately and could use your financial support so come meet with them and help ‘em out. They are doing good work for liberty.
Great write up of the events but the links for the video isn’t working?
“Situations like these illustrate the need for web sites like Cop Block.”
That’s a good point. For the people that find it impossible to vote with their feet by moving to New Hampshire, Cop Block is great (of course, it is also good in NH).
For everyone else, the situation reminds me that people should at least think about acting extra super respective to cops while outside of NH. Though, their goal should be to move to NH, work towards liberty in their lifetime and spend as much of their time as possible in the safety of NH.
videos are mp4 and work in my safari browser but I’m pretty ignorant about posting videos..;-) I’ll try to put up a you tube as well.
[...] with the Denver Police Department! More about their experience can be found at ColoradoFreedom.net, or hear it from the proverbial “horse’s mouth” at Old Chicago’s rooftop [...]
Here in Jumanji-ville(“Keene”), NH, we’ve seen Pete & Adam several times. They’re good guys, & decent people. The bus is way cool, too! Listen carefully neqar the beginning of the first video – as the cop is entering the bus, in the background, you can easily hear the “Star Spangled Banner” being sung to open the ball game!…”…the Land of the Free, & the Home of the Brave”…ironic…&sad…If this is “the NEW WORLD ORDER”, and/or the “BRAVE NEW WORLD”, I’d say we need some NEW WORLD BRAVES!…”Let Freedom Ring!”…/.\.
