Discussion on the Facebook event indicates armed counter protesters are present. If you are there and have more pertinent info to broadcast on this channel, contact t.me/friendshipalchemy

Around a dozen counter protesters present with sidearms and rifles. Mostly peaceful but with some shouting between groups.

Pro-cop rally planned for TOMORROW 6/29, Calder Plaza, 3p-6p. Organized by GOP congressional candidate Tom Norton.
