The city's push to keep feces and street barricades out of the event is termed overkill.

The Denver City Council on Monday approved a new ordinance aimed at preventing protesters from carrying buckets of feces or material that could form street barricades, paying little heed to a treaty that protest groups signed and labeled the "doo-doo accord."

Three protest groups — Re-create 68, Unconventional Action and Tent State University — had signed the treaty, which called for "a moratorium on the public throwing, spraying, smearing, hosing or inducing of excrement" during the Democratic National Convention.

The protesters labeled the ordinance, which Denver police pushed, as overkill and an insult against those who they said simply want to exercise their First Amendment speech rights.
