Anti-police brutality protest postponed out of respect for Celena Hollis

Westword -

celena hollis.jpg In light of the death of Denver police officer Celena Hollis, the Colorado Progressive Coalition, ACLU of Colorado and others have postponed the “Summer Against Police Violence” protest. The rally, originally scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, would have fallen at the same time as Hollis’s funeral service, which is also open to the public. The decision to delay the action is motivated by respect for Hollis, her family and her community — but it will be rescheduled for July.

As Westword previously reported, the 32-year-old Hollis was shot in the head while attempting to break up a fight at City Park Jazz on Sunday. The single mother cared for a twelve-year-old daughter. Officers have since arrested 21-year-old Rollin Oliver

in connection with the crime. Oliver is suspected (and reported) to belong to a gang — though Mayor Michael Hancock calls this suspicion a distraction.

    The Mayor and police chief of Denver disband the Gang Unit in the PD. Officer Hollis is shot in the head in a park. But it is not gang related. We disband the gang unit so there can be no gangs. Get it? No gang unit, no gangs. Libthink. Ban guns, dat is da answer.

    Should the Hollis child expect a call from the one?
    Didn’t think so. Beyond his pay grade.

    It’s a lot safer to protest against police instead of going to the hood and protesting bangers. I guess libtards aren’t bereft of self preservation instinct.

    You know, nothing, absolutely nothing, has ever convinced me that the world is any better for having gang members in it.

    But it would be vastly improved by their absence.
