With much of the nation focused on the police abuse protests happening in Baltimore and New York City, the Denver police and their actions against a group of protesters on Wednesday has largely gone unnoticed.

But police were dressed for war. Paramilitary style. And they weren't going home without using a few cans of pepper spray and filling up a paddy wagon.

Video that surfaced shows a group of about 100 protesters walking the streets of downtown Denver where they were met with line of motorcycle cops who forced the group on to the sidewalk.  One overzealous officer can be seen breaking away from the pack chasing down pedestrians, using his motorcycle as a large weapon.

At one point, the motorcycle cop rams a man on a bicycle, who had every right to be riding in the street.

In what appeared to be a peaceful scene of protesters walking with signs and chanting, albeit on the street, turned chaotic after police formed a human barricade, initiating a confrontation.  Most protesters complied with orders to get on the sidewalk, but that didn't stop one police soldier from continually shooting pepper spray into the faces of non-violent people.
