Demonstrations in Denver

As you may have heard, Denver police had arrested nearly one hundred protestors by Tuesday morning. Not all protests, of course, turn unruly. As a follow-up to the slideshow on the CODEPINK protest, Maximum Exposure brings some on-the-ground photos of peaceful demonstrations. These images prove that sometimes activists use silly costumes, puppets, and roller-skates to send a message. Though the means may be comical or downright bizarre, these are still explosive and controversial issues: war, abortion, global warming, etc. These pictures will give you a taste of the commotion, conviction, and conversation going on in Denver as the Democratic Convention continues throughout the week.
