Updates From the DNC

At least 4 more people were arrested yesterday by police – and today, protestors are criticizing the fencing off of Civic Park. Organizers for an annual event here that features food and entertainment, called A Taste of Colorado, says its necessary to cordon off parts of the park in order to set-up for the Labor Day event, which begins Friday… But demonstrators say it's just another way to suppress free speech. Local affiliate KGNU reporter Joe Banks is on the scene.

And in an update to the story we've been following this week from the 139 people arrested Monday night: sources say that those taken were held for a combined 15 hours – and many of them were not afforded a phone call. Some of those detained say that authorities blasted air conditioning and refused to give them blankets to keep warm: no beds or linens were provided in the so-called "GITMO on the Platt" facility, where many people spent the night. Arrestees were flexi-cuffed to each other and at least one pair say they were forced to use a porta-potty together. We'll continue to follow this story, as well as the development of a likely lawsuit against the City of Denver for various violations – we'll also keep an eye on what's happening today on the outside: where Rage Against the Machine is scheduled to play. We'll go to headlines next, and then continue with our coverage of the Democratic National Convention here in Denver.
