CLEVELAND, Ohio — Presidential candidate Donald Trump called Cleveland police Chief Calvin Williams on Friday afternoon to thank the department for its work patrolling this year's Republican National Convention.

Williams received the call outside the Quicken Loans Arena, when the officers who worked as a bike patrol were gathered for photos and a media availability. Several officers crowded around the chief when Trump made the call, and Williams put the candidate on speakerphone.

"He just wanted to thank us, the Cleveland Division of Police and law enforcement here, for a nice safe week for everybody," Williams said. "That it wasn't like people predicted. Even not like he predicted."

I thought I read something about the Philly PD Union pissed off at the Dems already.

They did do an OUTSTANDING job in Cleveland. None of the death and destruction predicted by the liberal national “media” ever materialized. Awesome job guys.

Class and always aware of what is going on. Calling him while they were taking pics and the media was there. Steps ahead as usual!

But . . . but . . . “open carry” was supposed to cause carnage?

I think the bikers and the open carry guys had a part in it as well....

I really believe the presence of Patriot Guard riders, and open-carry citizens, deterred the flag-burners, #CrackLivesMatters crowd, and the other Leftist loonies from ruining the GOP convention.

Those twinkletoed bedwetters have a lot of pent-up energy and frustration built up, and I believe the Democrat Convention will pay for it.

Yep! Maybe the open carry regimen in OH helped, too. Best to be polite in the midst of an armed crowd.

A dem convention where BLM is allowed to over power the police and take the mic from Hillary would be a dream come true.

Actually it wasn’t the Patriot Guard. It was Bikers for Trump. Certainly PGR members were there, but not under the PGR banner.

I haven’t heard any of the dhimmicrats saying, “We also gave those who wish to destroy space to do that as well” but I suspect that it is implied ;’}

Two dozen arrests, mostly misdemeanors. Pretty impressive. Nobody was expecting this mild of a convention.

OH is pretty much safely Republican except for Cleveland’s vote. If Trump can cut into that with a lot of good vibes continuing with the Mayor and Police Chief, it could shift enough votes to win the state.

You totally nailed it. So, where’s all the back-to-back reportage on how open-carry carnage never happened? Or how it may be responsible for the absence of violence? No, Trump did the right thing by thanking the P.D., and he just showed, yet again, that he is a totally classy guy.
I hope all the cracklivesmatter ass-hats get it all out of their system in Philly.

Agree. It went well. Good job Cleveland.
Philadelphia may be some rough sledding.
