Police forces in Charlotte, NC, are preparing for unruly crowds when the 2012 Democratic National Convention comes to town, according to recent reports.
Charlottes police department is already stocking up on riot gear and training officers in riot-control techniques in preparation for the event, Newser reports.
Although the city already has a few hundred trained riot police, they have decided to recruit almost every one of them for intensive riot trainingjust in case.
So what goes into intensive riot training?
Its a very controlled, measured response with a lot of practice, said Deputy Chief Harold Medlock. Medlock is overseeing the training, which also includes hundreds of officers from nearby police and sheriffs departments, according to WSOCTV.com.
The point of some of the tactics and the maneuvers that we use is to allow folks to have the time to do what were asking them to do, Medlock said in the report.

Your lips to God's ears. I can't even stand to listen to her speak; she sounds like a querulous, vascillating old lady.
She runs in any year OTHER than 2008, and gets her head handed to her.
Voter fraud??? (gulp) Your state is still making more “progress” to normalcy than mine, at least you got rid of your idiot governor.
Rick Snyder is a liberal republican but he is signing the things the legislature sends to him without a fight.
He just signed a partial birth abortion ban a few days ago.
The whole world’s watching.
The whole world’s watching.
The whole world’s watching...
Well...I'm just gonna have to make that happen.
Pba bill? (barf) Okay, I retract that comment, but you could get rid of this RINO by getting him to replace Joe Biden OR (the unthinkable) have Mitt Romney tap him for his runnning mate if the GOP jumps the shark forever.

You are confusing the union bosses with the union proles.
Free Mumia!
Both houses in Mississippi are RAT?
Whoulda thunk?
Wouldn’t be surprised to see riots at the Republican convention either . Also would not be surprised to see attacks/attempted murder against Republican convention goers either . The Democrats are stirring up the useful idiots & the true believers of socialism in its assorted flavors & when someone on their side does something stupid they will tell the press one thing while encouraging the useful idiots to keep on doing what they are doing , the goal being voter intimidation ala the New Black Panther party scam only on a nation wide scale.
Also remember that pepper spray is both a vegan & green product and is therefore politically correct to use against the idiots.
