Just rumors?
Probably... but it only takes one drunk idiot to throw a bag of urine or blood at the police.
Will anyone throw urine or blood at the police at the Denver DNC Convention, August 24 - 28???

At this point, I have not spoken with DPD about being on the street, but know that police are not fond of cameras in an event like this. The ACLU and Operation Cop Watch have made the police leary of cameras, when they do not know the shooter. As such, I doubt I will get the blessings of DPD in my efforts to break into photo-journalism as a new career choice.
In regards to your question, I think feces should be part of the mix, as well as blood and urine. The difficulty in settleing this question will be in the quality of news coverage allowed, if things get as nasty as R-68.org is hoping for, I see a scenario where the police might be deluged with "missles" but if the reporters are chased away, there might not be any reports of it.
So it seems YES is a higher probability than I first thought, but should still be low odds due to possible media block-outs
In the background info I phrased the question: "Will anyone throw urine or blood at the police at the Denver DNC Convention, August 24 - 28???" Hopefully that sentence will help with clarification.
If the media is blocked-out, I'm guessing many people in the area, including protesters, will capture events with cell phone cameras and upload video/pictures to the internet.
It is an area known for problems at closing time or "Let Out" as it has become to be known.

DENVER -- Police breaking up a gunfight in the popular Lower Downtown area shot and killed one man and critically wounded another man after both allegedly fired a shotgun at the officers early Sunday.
Police Lt. Ron Saunier said the officers were on routine duty helping crowds move out of LoDo as clubs were closing when they saw a fight begin. He noted "there are thousands upon thousands of people" in the area almost every night when clubs close at 2 a.m.
The proposed bill would also make it illegal to possess any noxious substance, such as human waste.
