Video: Recreate '68's "no" to federal courts

"At this point, we're going to file our appeal in the streets of Denver," Recreate '68's Glenn Spagnuolo told 50 people meeting tonight at Lincoln Park in downtown Denver.

Earlier in the day, attorneys for the ACLU said they won't appeal a federal judge's ruling that upheld the security plans during the Democratic National Convention, reports Felisa Cardona.

In a PoliticsWest video after the Lincoln Park meeting, Spagnuolo addressed potential conflict with police and the prospect of defying the court order.

"We try to remain non-violent in the face of overwhelming oppression and violence. But, you know, we do expect the police to get violent. They train for it every day. They're spending millions of dollars to get weapons to act violent every single day. So we expect them to act in that way. It's a testament to when protest becomes effective, governments become repressive. And that's exactly what's happening. And like I said, revolution starts with one word; that word's no. We're saying no to the federal courts, basically."
