It’s not riot gear, it’s first amendment protection gear.

Should have held it in Tampa again, with hot humid temps in the mid 90’s and daily thunderstorms expected, the outdoor crowds would be seeking shade elsewhere.

LOL. Now that’s a healthy perspective!

Chief Williams: “The city of Cleveland does not have riot gear.”

Maybe the city council wouldn’t approve the purchase. Even a police chief has to answer to the council.

So far the PD has been doing a good job. The protestors are in small groups, giving the police a good warm up with crowd control. The cops on bikes are hearding them around like cattle.

Will be interesting if the protestors get squirrelly.
