everybody but making sure they were part of the process and we did everything we could to let them know how much we cared. black ministerial alliance, metro denver, very strong, active group of pastors and ministers for the black community and they have a strong voice. i know michael hancock does the same thing today, we have them come in and keep us up to speed. reporter: you see these groups that have come out, how much has to do with economics, whether it is white nationalists who feel their wages are stagnant and the economy passed them by, you hear that a lot when talking to folks like that and on the other hand especially in places like virginia and washington dc, african-americans, unemployed and feel they don t have a chance and a hand up.
law enforcement putting in a day like this, they had some advanced warning but there really wasn t any predictor as far as we know of how large these protests were going to be, some people had seen coverage from last night, that folks had been bused in from out of town and the commissioner made a good point, the district of columbia is two hours away as far as getting bused in is concerned. what position does this put law enforcement in, bringing handmade weapons and other weapons, they have shielded helmets on and aerosol cans and things that can be thrown at you. what type of position does it put them in? puts them in harm s way. they are there to enforce the law, we are a nation that believes in rule of law. they put their lives at risk. they are standing up, enforcing
