A group of Iraq war veterans marched the streets of Denver in protest to the war. They wanted to show that the Democrats are just as responsible for the war in Iraq as the republicans. They also had a letter that they wanted read at the convention. The letter was a plea to stop the war, and make reparations to the Iraqi people, and for health care for all of the veterans that have served.
Instead of protesting in Denver's "free-speech zones", the veterans took their protest to the streets, and encountered Denver's anti first amendment police, who tried to attack a group of peaceful people.

This is exactly why we have the right to assembly anywhere, not in some fenced in parking lot 5 miles away from what you are protesting. What I don't understand is how come this went unreported. I heard about it on a tech podcast. Hopefully when they take their protests to the republican convention it will get a little more air time.
