Hundreds of South High School students walked out of class today and marched downtown Denver.
The students chanted “F*ck the police!”

They locked arms and shut down the streets.
Because… Racism.

The protesters were also chanting “hands up, don’t shoot” in reference to Mike Brown who DID NOT have his hands up when he was shot dead while charging a Ferguson police officer.

Last week four police officers were struck by a car while monitoring a Mike Brown student protest at East High School in Denver. One police officer was hit and dragged underneath the car for 25 yards.
The Denver police union said the protesters cheered and chanted “hit him again” after four officers were hit by a runaway car.
