Correction May 18, 2015
In early versions of this story, we reported that Cleveland City Councilman Kevin Conwell said he would go out "rioting" if police officer Michael Brelo is acquitted in the shooting death of two black suspects. That was incorrect. Conwell said he would be "riding" in his district if the officer is acquitted.
The “city has reached out to civic groups”. I hate that term. Keep reaching db’s. It’s not about the verdict it’s about the “free” toilet paper, flat screens, beer and Slim Jim’s.
“As the verdict nears in the racially charged case, city officials hope to avoid violence. They’ve reached out to civic and religious groups for constructive dialogue to help ward off potential unrest.”
Should read:
They’ve informed civic and religious groups that rioters and looters will be shot on sight.
All members of The Watch are urged to keep eyes on this situation,, especially in light of this being the next site of the RNC Road Show in 2016...

Report: National Guard, Police Gearing Up for Potential Cleveland Race Riots

Sounds to me like they are preparing for acquittal. This is also a bench trial, so the judge makes the decision.
A local talk/sports radio personality made a key observation regarding the potential protests/riots. I’m paraphrasing, but the gist of what he said is:
Remember the 70s when there was streaking at almost every big event? Do you know why there isn’t any streaking today? The media doesn’t cover it.
No details on shooting at NPR link.
Was the cop acting in self-defense and, therefore, SHOULD be acquitted?
Do I hear in the distance, “Burn baby burn?”
” Constructive dialogue” is liberal dog whistle - it means ‘can’t we all get along’... it’s Unicorn crap... it’s ‘give in’ to the thugs stuff....

Ahhh - NPR - I should have known...
Let the games begin!
Well Cleveland is a cesspit I NEVER visit and as for Akron, only if I am armed. (OH, CCW)
Next week, the home playoff games for the Cavs are at 8:30PM, Sunday 5/24 and Tuesday 5/26. The Indians games those days are Sunday 5/24 at 1:10PM and Tuesday 5/26 at 7:10PM. Those two dates straddle Memorial Day.
I'd think that could get weird.
(could you forward this to the OH ping list, if you think they might be interested? Thanks)
And if anyone believes that correction, I have oceanfront property in AZ I’d like to sell them/you (for you lurking Leftists, on the latter).
