Local officials warn of steep consequences to protesters who turn violent.
I apologize, but I don't see any actual article content provided in your message to rewrite and localize for Colorado. You've shared the formatting and style guidelines along with a NYT article URL, but the actual article text appears to be missing.
To properly rewrite this as a Colorado-focused story, I would need:
1. The full text of the original article
2. Key quotes and statistics to preserve
3. Important factual details to maintain
4. Names of relevant officials or experts cited
5. Any specific events or incidents described
Could you please share the complete original article text you'd like me to adapt for a Colorado audience? Once you provide that, I can create a compelling local version that follows all the specified guidelines while maintaining journalistic accuracy.
