Protests Peaceful on Sunday

The "occupy" protests were much calmer in Denver yesterday, after a Saturday of violent outbursts.  Officers donned riot gear, and pepper spray Saturday afternoon.  Officers say things got violent when about 2,000 protestors tried to make their way up the capitol building steps.  Police say protestors began fighting with officers, and things escalated from there.  Protestors say it was the police that started the outburst.
