The City of Cleveland, Ohio plans to purchase 2,000 sets of riot gear in the lead up to hosting the 2016 Republican National Convention. Purchasing documents published by Cleveland.com show the city is looking for a laundry list of crowd control equipment, including full body riot suits, riot gear wearable for police on bicycles and 26-inch collapsable batons, along with thousands of interlocking steel barricades.
2000 Riot sets will not be near enough if they shaft Trump and Cruz.
Hopefully the GOPe won’t try to pull anything stupid. Because there could be up to a million pissed off Trump supporters in Cleveland.
I am looking for venture capital for a short term business opportunity.
I am planning on renting a facility near the convention center where I will be selling tar, feathers, and pitchforks.
I had thought of an ammo store, but I know everyone will have plenty of ammo, but I think most have overlooked the above.
Cleveland is smart. They should also procure some gas grenades with Lysol or deodorant. Those Occupy and BLMers aren’t known for their hygiene.
Boy you got that right.
I hope none of the gear looks “military” elsewise the BLM protesters will be offended. And we know that’s just not acceptable.
Lovely. I certainly picked a great time to move here.
(Too bad I can’t change my name!)
Preach it, brother.
If all four stay in, Trump will not reach 1237. If it goes to a second ballot Trump will not be the nominee. If Trump is not the nominee the riot gear will be a smart move...
well i did book a hotel somewhere near there.
What will they do if protesters show up as well equipped as the police?Used to happen all the time in Japan.
+1,000
What’s the news?
I’ve been stocking up on riot gear for over 7 years.
I’ve invested in guillotines — I feel like I’m getting in at the groundfloor, but I expect them to be going up real soon.
I wish you every success. It's a fine tradition that should be brought back.
They had better be prepared if the RNC/GOP intends to pull some funny business.
I like rope.Light,effective and re-usable.

Plus hemp products are so popular with the Sanders crowd.
