Though you might think the possiblity of modern revolution is remote, the Denver Police / Secret Service / ?? were not taking any chances this week. You get enough testosterone, mixed liberally with gadgets dispensing tear gas, electrical shock, and blunt force trauma .. and .. PRESTO. No revolution this year!
