Blog Entry 6 of 12 DNC Street Beat
Hello there, I'm Erin Feese, a community journalist for YourHub.com. I'm pounding the pavement during the Democratic National Convention Aug. 25 through 28 to offer a woman-on-the-street view of what is going down downtown.

Cops: Here, there and everywhere

Contributed by: Erin Feese   on 8/25/2008

3:50 p.m. Aug 25 -- Cops on bicycles. Cops on horses. Cops on foot. Cops on motorcycles.

Wandering down the 16th Street Mall and near the Convention Center, there is no shortage of police officers, equipped with full riot gear.

As a police SUV with about a dozen officers hanging off the sides rolled down the mall, one onlooker breathed, "Holy moly."

Holy moly indeed. I suppose it is better safe than sorry -- and these officers area round to be prepared for anything and make sure nobody gets hurt. But it is a bit unsettling.

A group of about five officers was hanging out in front of Virgin Records, posing for photos with young women, laughing and generally having a good time. I grabbed a shot of them -- unfortunately, I missed the shot of one of the officers doing a funny pose, but guess who got it? A Denver Post photographer. He took a photo of me taking a photo of the cops.

I think the number of journalists downtown might rival the number of cops.
