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.

Lovely. I certainly picked a great time to move here.
Welcome neighbor! I assume we've taken in yet another Steelers fan, but we can coexist. Don't worry, Cleveland itself will do the nation proud. But I knew when they announced that we got the convention that something crazy was going to happen. We have a saying: "Only in Cleveland" or "OIC".

Cleveland is getting a 50 million dollar federal grant to fund added security and police at the convention. They are just spending federal money on whatever they can.

Cleveland is smart. They should also procure some gas grenades with Lysol or deodorant. Those Occupy and BLMers arent known for their hygiene.If the GOP doesn't wise up, OWS and BLM will be the least of their worries in Cleveland.
