Denver won't 'cage protesters' at DNC

Denver won't 'cage protesters' at DNC
"Protesters will not be confined to 'cages' during the 2008 Democratic National Convention, and the city wants to get away from the long lines of shoulder-to-shoulder, riot-gear-clad police that typified security at the national conventions in Boston and New York, Denver City Councilman Charlie Brown said today.
'We don't want to provoke violence,' Brown said.
Brown said he talked with Mayor John Hickenlooper on Wednesday and that the two discussed 'trying to get away from having lines of police officers.'
Brown later asserted: 'We aren't going to cage protesters.'"
