A company of Marine Corps Reservists received a cold send-off from downtown Toledo yesterday by order of Mayor Carty Finkbeiner.
The 200 members of Company A, 1st Battalion, 24th Marines, based in Grand Rapids, Mich., planned to spend their weekend engaged in urban patrol exercises on the streets of downtown as well as inside the mostly vacant Madison Building, 607 Madison Ave.
Toledo police knew days in advance about their plans for a three-day exercise. Yet somehow the memo never made it to Mayor Finkbeiner, who ordered the Marines out yesterday afternoon just minutes before their buses were to arrive.
"The mayor asked them to leave because they frighten people," said Brian Schwartz, the mayor's spokesman.

Special Ops? I think it may be Needed in Toledo.Here this, Delta, needed in Toledo.
Finkbeaner.....
AMEN.......
Toledo and its Mayor should be charged the bill for gas, wasted time, and whatever other costs were incurred for his ordering the Marines out of Toldedo and for disallowing their scheduled exercises.
Does this Mayor expect emergency responders to establish a mock-up city on the outskirts of Toledo to practice their response to emergency situations such as dirty bombs, or any other incident that might be a threat to a big city?

And have to go in without knowing the exact layout of the streets and buildings because they weren't allowed access to find out. You just can't get the knowledge of a place unless you walk the streets and see it first hand.
The point is the terror suspects a free to move about the City, But the Marines who need a little practice, are unwanted, seems to be a bit of a question your post did not quite answer for me.
Marines Unwelcome
Suspects need apply to the Mosque, Your welcome!
