The Denver Gazette: Disruptions have plagued the Denver City Council in the last several months, forcing it to go into recess or shut down proceedings as the meetings devolved into chaos.

In at least one instance, a disruption compelled councilmembers, subjected to incessant yelling by protesters, to vote against the preferred outcome of the protesters.

“By what has happened in chambers today and the lack of respect and the lack of ability to have a civil discourse and conversation, I am going to have to be a no on this one,” District 7 Councilwoman Flor Alvidrez said earlier this month, when she, along with several others, rejected a proclamation calling for a “cease-fire” of the Israel-Hamas war.
