All indications from the federal side is that Cleveland PD is not ready. People are starting to worry and the expectations of violence are only growing. This is going to be the World Series for professional rioters, and Cleveland PD needs to step up. Negative results from this convention will hurt city business for a long time.

Wood shampoo!
My head hurts
I am sad
Then Ohio should have the National Guard there,ready and waiting.
They should be able to pull this off with sufficient effort from the state. The legal problem is that the city needs to ask for it. They won’t because they (democrats) want to have a sufficient disruption to block the GOP message. Democrats will spin the carnage as “this is what happens when you nominate a racist.” It may backfire with many voters who will find a bunch of anarchists and illegals rioting extremely offensive.
Very good point.
I also think this is what the #NeverTrump people will say, too.
In other words, all Trump's fault.
That issue regarding used of the National Guard came up in discussions involving Illinois or Baltimore. Apparently the Governor of a state CAN deploy the guard WITHOUT local request or approval, based on his/her assessment of the situation on the ground. It will be up to Kasich whether or not to act rationally in this situation, but I am not optimistic. At this point, I think he is as nutty as Glenn Beck and Mark Levin.
