They were using the bike locks to claim that the protesters had ties to terrorist organizations, because "it's not the kind of thing a normal student has."

Despite the fact that the exact model of bike lock was part of a deal on bike locks advertised by the CU campus security on Facebook not 6 weeks ago.

Wow, I think that is an instant winner for the annual "most dogshit excuse for cops to do a thing" award.

I mean, let's think about it step by step. The protesters used bike locks, having a bike lock implies having a bike, having a bike implies using it, using a bike implies you're riding it for transportation. That obviously means that the infiltrators are from Europe (most likely, Netherlands)
