The Boulder community is standing in firm opposition to Saturday nightâs massive party at the University of Colorado at Boulder, which resulted in extensive property damage and injury to three police officers.
Numerous city officials, CU students and staff spoke out Sunday against the actions of the several hundreds of CU students who hosted and attended the party-turned-riot at 10th Street and College Avenue on University Hill.
Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty called the incident âselfishâ and âoutrageousâ in a statement Sunday morning.
âOur community was put at risk last night by the individuals involved in the incident in the Hill area,â Dougherty said. âTheir callous disregard for our communityâs safety and well-being is shameful.â

The video also shows students getting into fights with one another, doing backflips on the hoods of cars (and landing on their knees), and generally destroying the neighborhood.
On top of all the havoc, the party broke out in the middle of a pandemic, in a state that has lost nearly 6,000 lives to the coronavirus.
At around 8:30 p.m. local time, law enforcement officers, including a SWAT team, showed up at the party, warning revelers that: “If you fail to leave, you will be subject to arrest and the use of tear gas.”
