We don't want our city to go up in flames...

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Preparing to keep the peace in Cleveland, more than one hundred community leaders, activists, clergy, volunteers and other concerned citizens gathered Thursday night for a planning meeting at Olivet Institutional Baptist Church.

After watching images of Ferguson and Baltimore burning, the men want to make sure Cleveland remains safe for both citizens and businesses.

“We don’t want our city to go up in flames,” said Cleveland Councilman Kevin Conwell, “We’re going to fight against that and keep the peace.”

So far, a number of protests in the city have remained peaceful, but with some disruption of traffic downtown.

But leaders are keenly aware that could change with the national spotlight on Cleveland because of the upcoming verdict in the trial of Cleveland Officer Michael Brelo for his part in the shooting deaths of two unarmed individuals.

Want to keep the peace?

Then just keep out the Communists agitators, the Anarchists (who stand out like a sore thumb, because they ALWAYS wear black hoods), and Obama’s “Justice” Dept. race-baiters. Banning Je$$e and $harpton is also quite helpful.

If you DON’T do all that, and you get Ferguson, Baltimore, etc.

Is Lake Erie still combustible?

The sad fact is that it only takes one "Outside Agitator" to start the looting and the burning.
Just one person smashes a window in a store, and a feeding frenzy starts.
And in the chaos, one agitator lights a fire.
I'm not saying that is what happens, I'm saying it really only takes one.

Targeting the agitators for immediate removal is a strategy that seems to be working for Chief Craig in Detroit.

They know who the local agitators are and know who isn’t local and grab them for littering, jaywalking or whatever and hold them for up to 72 hours without charges.

If you don’t want your city to go up in flames, then ENFORCE THE LAW and crack down on the thugs and criminals who loot stores, beat up innocent people and block traffic.

You're right. They can keep the peace, maybe. I agree that's only possible if, as you say, they keep out the external/professional race hustlers. Jessie and Al don't live there, have nothing invested there. In fact, these external entities have something to gain by provoking another city into self-immolation.

As long as some of them are armed militia, there's a hope that their wish will be granted. If they're all just chin musicians, Cleveland will burn.

They don’t want peace; they want blacks hating whites and vica versa, and no black trust in police so they can take over police and thus have their brownshirt army. 2 billion bullets were purchased by DHS...remember that?

No, and hasn't been for decades.

Good luck. Paid terrorists don’t give a crap with talk. Head shots by the police when they first riot is the answer.

They do. Just not in liberal enclaves. That’s their voting block. Don’t want to upset them.

Well, you can bet our President won’t be on the phone to them then.

More likely, he’s composing his next little ditty to fan the fire, along the lines of “If I had a son....” or “The police behaved stupidly...”

You watch, he’ll have something to say, and it won’t be calming; more likely the opposite.

Have the Mayor, Governor or whoever is in charge announce that if the thug element resorts to rioting, the National Guard will be called up, issued ball ammunition and given orders to shoot looters on sight.

Ah, perchance to dream - gonadectomies have been performed on all of our politicians, so the Kabuki Theatre will continue.
