Heavily Armed Police Carry Out Colorado Eviction 
-------------------------------------------------


 
Video has emerged from Colorado of a heavily armed police contingent
carrying out an eviction order at the home of a woman in Idaho Springs.
Sixty-three year-old Sahara Donahue had enlisted the help of local
Occupy activists after U.S. Bank ordered her to vacate her foreclosed
home of 24 years. When the activists set up a barricade to delay the
eviction last week, at least ten truckloads of police reportedly arrived
at the scene, carrying heavy weaponry. The police forced the activists
onto the ground at gunpoint before barging into the home and carrying
out the eviction.
