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 saw him interviewed on Fox this morning and yes, he is pissed off at their choice of speakers - Dead thug mothers.......
Wouldn't it be sweet justice if they just stepped back and let the anticipated protestors do what they want?
I guess, like an idiot, I fell for the death and destruction garbage the liberal “media” had been pimping leading up to the convention. I really thought it was going to get ugly. I’ve got to stop believing things I hear on the news. (Breathing a sigh of relief).
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.
Indeed, it was policing done right... much to the disappointment of the MSM!
Stand down orders.
Trump/his family and Pence and his family = good people with Class.
‘Crooked Hillary & Bill and Corrupt Kaine’/Chelsea & her husband = classless criminals!
Liz can tell us about Chelsea’s criminal husband.
“None of the death and destruction predicted by the liberal national media ever materialized.”
Two dozen arrests, mostly misdemeanors. Pretty impressive. Nobody was expecting this mild of a convention.
Cleveland probably had less crime during the RNC than a year ago at the same time span.
I believe all of them did. A great job! Media must be upset since many were predicting, even hoping, for chaos.
“But . . . but . . . open carry was supposed to cause carnage?”
That old liberal lie of open carry = carnage/blood in the streets has been wrong wherever/whenever open carry came about.
Thanks for your excellent guidance and interpretation of all the faux polls during this primary.
Looking forward to your expert guidance re the faux polls out now and until November.
I was worried things might get ugly but hoping the Cleveland Police had taken lessons from San Diego.
I’m glad it turned out as excitement free as it did, the presence of Bikers for Trump and open carry probably helped, but from what I could tell of the TV coverage, the police did an excellent job. Mostly by stepping in before any large crowds could gather, and by setting up a rather large perimeter, where any protesters couldn’t get too close to the convention goers.
I saw a brief article that said every time a dozen or so people managed to group up, the police stepped in and broke it up. No permit, no protest. See ya.
Trump did an excellent job as usual, and calling them to say thanks is not only a show of lots of class, it will get him some support later too.
I’m not expecting the Dem convention to be as peaceful. According to reports today, over 13,000 protesters expected, nearly a dozen protest permits already for Bernie supporters, and let’s not forget the best one of all, the fart in at Hillary’s coronation...I mean acceptance...

Agreed!
Gotta say, it’s really looking good. We have Trump up in PA, IA, AZ, NC, and FL; tied in OH and NH; down 4 in CT, 7 in WI (so I don’t believe WI if Trump is only down 4 in CT), and only down 12 in NY, a state Minion lost by 28.
There is no way to read these except that Trump is running way ahead of where Romney was and right now is in an EC tie (most likely lead if you factor in the heavy D samples in polls).
HOORAY Trump
Very nice ... very Trump.
This pertains to economics, education, public safety, politics and just about any area of public concern. It is both logical from consideration of the psychological factors, as well as confirmed by the centuries old example of Switzerland, that a well armed gathering of responsible people was going to be safer by virtue of being well armed.
Cheers!
Frankly, all us have just about had it w/ the Clintons and their ilk.....the lies, the double dealing, the get-rich-quick schemes on the backs of taxpayers, etc etc etc.
Appears anyone connected to them seems to be a crook, a thief, an embezzler, a money-launderer, and/or irredeemably stupid.
Unlike the DNC who stiffed the City of Charlotte in 2012 on the city expenses to cover the convention.
And don't forget....there was a formidable contingent of Mike Pence's Indiana police there, too.
$10 Bucks says Hillary berates and talks down to the Police during the Convention in Philly, Hell $50 says she does it to one or more Personally!
Perfect!
I have heard that this is Trump’s SOP when dealing with all the regular folks along the way. This kind of thing goes a long way in “good karma” as he walks through his life. Mr. Trump, you get an “attaboy” for being such a real and considerate human being!!!
