“”But the head of a police union and the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio expressed concern that the officers who will be thrust in the most volatile situations will not be wearing a device that is a deterrent for both violence against police and officer misconduct.””

Seems the ACLU is not a culprit - THIS TIME!

Time out - gotta go change my uniform?

“”Should protesters clash with police, officers will dress in riot gear and administer crowd control tactics.””

The fix is in, and the propaganda will be rolling in all the news sources. I hope the cops use their cameras.

In 1968, Daley was in charge of “his city”.
In Baltimore as well as Ferguson, I believe the obammy administration ran the show.
Will Clevelands mayor, Governor or obammy run the city’s police response????

I have known cops who got their own, and inconspicuously put it in their shirt pocket.

The department says officers will use other methods to record police interactions with protesters and the public during the convention.

Body count instead of body cameras will work for me.

If the police don’t have cameras, it means the main sources of video will be the rioters and their supporters, and the video will be edited to show the Left’s narrative.

“Plus - cops can lay a serious ass kicking”

Like they did to the “protesters” in Ferguson and Baltimore?

No cameras, no film equals no evidence against the arrested rioters. More evidence that the actions of the rioters are sanctioned at the highest political level.

The politicians do not even try to hide that they are behind and supporting the rioters any longer.

They working the cause it would show the leftist agitators and racists for who they are. And the left can’t have that.

Without bodycams, blame can and will be shifted to the police and Trump supporters.

I highly recommend that officers buy a personal G-Pro camera for self protection.

It would be a shame to miss all the pictures of those thousands of Mexican and Anarchist flags waving in the breeze with the tear gas.

“Should protesters clash with police, officers will dress in riot gear and administer crowd control tactics”..........

Might as well start from day one and in full riot gear. The protesters are being encouraged by numerous media articles in “hopes” for riots so they can write their trash against the police, they want to see some busted heads to emphasize how terrible our police are.

IMO, civil protesting is fine but police should be given “open season” on any protesters who choose to become violent. The BS that has taken over this country needs to be stopped and the upcoming Rep convention is a good place to squelch it.
