Local law enforcement lobbies for peaceful interactions, prepares for worst.
Cleveland’s security plans for the Republican National Convention include the deployment of more than 3,000 police officers, but security experts and those expecting to attend fear that a compact space for demonstrations combined with turbulent crowds may be a recipe for explosive clashes.
One of the key complaints by groups who support and oppose presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is the limited space demonstrators will be allowed to occupy during the convention, which runs from July 18 through July 21 and is estimated to bring 50,000 visitors to Cleveland.
Two parks will serve as demonstration areas, but demonstrators alternately will share a single parade route and a “speaker’s platform” with amplified sound that individuals can reserve for 30-minute increments — placing opposing groups in close proximity during focal points of their rallies.
“They’re inviting a bloodbath with the way they are setting it up,” said Ralph King, the local organizer heading up plans for a Citizens for Trump demonstration. “Instead of separating and just giving the permits out to where people wanted to have different marches and parades, now you have a fishbowl.”(continued)

I intend to be there with multiple cameras. I am waiting on vacation approval but it looks good. If all goes as planned, I intend to upload pics of leftist lawlessness to free republic in near real time. That’s my plan anyways. Any thoughts on the best way to accomplish this near real time uploading?
You are asking me? I am out west behind enemy lines!
we honor all permits. There were anonymous thugs packing suppressed assault rifles at the Dayton Trump rally. i posted pics here. They will be armed too.

Just bring out the rubber bullets and quit being such total woosies.
Fireproof suit? Good luck to you.
Wait, don’t tell me: you support the Dem mobs. Right, 2DV? You’re probably hoping they’ll scare off all of Trumps voters, and Ted Cruz will show up to save the day. Then we’ll all cry out in shame, “we’re sorry, Ted!” It’s your fantasy, right? You and Bill Kristol can hold hands and sing songs about how you shall overcome.
The key is “PROTECTION” patrols. We need thousands to protect the freedom loving Trump delegates so nothing happens to them. The police will sit on their collective ass. There will not be HLS forces there with armored personnel carriers and”1 billion” rounds of .223 ammo. It will just be us to protect us. Each delegate will need a security force with radios in their ears and a central command . The ROLLIN THUNDER is coming with thousands of other bikers. There will not be any more unanswered attacks on AMERICAN Trump supporters. I urge you to bring those mexican flags and OPENLY BURN THEM ALL OVER CLEVELAND. We want assurance of our safety from the government or we will do it ourselves!!
A setup, just like San Jose was.
WTF is your major malfunction?
May be callous, but should make “good” television. Think of the ratings. /sarc

There’s the civility and unity Jim Robinson was talking about.
