When: July 18th-21st
Where: Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland OH
Police are expecting 50,000 out of city visitors next week and daily protests. Cleveland Police were awarded a $50 million dollar grant which they used $20 million to buy riot gear and other security equipment, $30 million for personnel costs, and also took out a $50 million dollar insurance policy to cover any protest damages. Now you add in radical leftist protesters, BLM groups just a few weeks after 2 high-profile killings, Mexican activists, Bikers for Trump, and a group of Neo-Nazis going to "Protect Trump Supporters" you have a situation that could boil over into 1968 Chicago. Not to mention Cleveland failed to recruit enough out of state LEOs to help secure the convention. At the start they wanted 4,000 to 5,000 overs but have gotten around 2,700 plus their own 1,300-1,400 (of which they said 1/3 would be assigned convention details) force. I just don't see how they will be able to get through next week without any sort of major violence occurring.
I am also sure that the scenes that will come out of Cleveland will also boost Trump's polling number as well. So what is everyone expecting for the next four days?
