"Denver police union president Nick Rogers said Wednesday that a “stand-down order” was in place when anti-cop demonstrators descended on a Back the Blue event Sunday afternoon, resulting in a violent clash with police supporters....

Unfortunately, they did stand down and did not intervene while the Antifa/BLM mob beat on the legally permitted 'Back the Blue' event, the 6th annual gathering.
But kudos to the Lt. that refused to retreat. Others saw him and followed him in refusing the order to retreat. Without any PD present, it may have gotten REALLY ugly.
Our Dem Governor and Mayor, whom I had given decent marks on dealing with the rioting are now starting to show their asses, just like other delusional mayors around the country. That stand down order had to be given by the mayor. It had to bother the cops that they couldn't intervene at a gathering showing support for them.
