She said "how long they are kept is up to the Security manager". I asked her for that persons email and was told it was SMoretz@BrownPalace.com. They do have them! and there should be PLENTY of good common citizens that saw what happened and should sign affidavit statments with both offices.

I called them I got the same response. Now, CALL THE BROWN PALACE AND ASK THEM TO SEND THEIR ADDITONAL CAMERAS THEY SET UP FOR THE XTRA SECURITY TO THE DENVER DA OFFICE AND DENVER POLICE INTERNAL AFFAIRS. According to the P.R. Dept at the hotel, they had extra cameras up and stated it showed the inside entrance. She stated "that the Security Manager had the tapes and it was up to her how long she would keep them" when asked how long they will be kept. We notified the Denver DA office and the lawyer for Isa. PEOPLE, file your witness statments to the DENVER POLICE INTERNAL AFFAIRS and the BOULDER COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE. Go to the DENVER DA website and search for the hearing date in Denver for him (about a month away) and go to it as witnesses. BOYCOTT THE BROWN PALACE. DEMAND THEIR "SIGNED STATMENT TO POLICE" and their SECURTIY TAPES SHOWING THE BLOCKING OF the entrance,etc that they are adhering to. ASK THEM WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 3 HOUR PERIOD at 9am when they made the initial complaint to when he was arrested and booked (check the time on the DENVER DA website of current cases). THE police would have arrested him in a heart beat if he was INSIDE as stated today by the P.R. Dept at the Brown Palace. That is was just inside the entry way INSIDE the hotel and was supposidly asked to leave 5-6X. He was arrested ON THE STREET ON PUBLIC GROUND NO EVEN BLOCKING THE DOOR. HE WAS 2 ft from the gutter. The police wanted them to cross the street instead; well, they pushed him all the way across backwards, pushing him repeatedly in the chest with oncoming traffice. Those that have been there know drivers drive quite fast down that multi lane street. CALL THE HOTEL AND TELL THEM YOU WILL NEVER STAY WITH THEM. I KNOW WE WILL NEVER AGAIN.

ABC News should subpoena that tape and sue. Funny how the hotel doesn’t provide any security-camera footage, which it most certainly has in its possession.

They have emergency exits and such. There was no danger. It’s not as if that was the only exit to the building. They have emergency exits and such. There was no danger.

So protesting in front of a business is illegal now? Someone needs to talk with the hotel's lawyer, and tell them to STFU. it’s illegal to block an entrance to a building? from the outside?

Someone needs to talk with the hotel’s lawyer, and tell them to STFU.

Nice try from Brown Palace Hotel, but something is still out of kilter with their side of the story. Would have been nice to have the WHOLE incident recorded or released without the gap between the producer being shoved across the street and the cuffs being put on him on what looks like the side of the street he originated on before the cops got involved.

I didn't see any impeding in the edited video, no traffic jam of guests or line waiting to get in or out. I didn't see any hotel management talking with reporters asking them to be more courteous or to simply move to the side of the entrance. An unsafe exit? that 's the reason for this? Nice, scoop!
