I hope it's a wakeup call for police supervision. It's going to be a long memorable summer, and not just in Philly and Cleveland. There has to be some clear understanding and enforcement concerning what is and what is not permitted behavior.
I written to the Trump campaign twice on this.
the protest areas cannot be adjacent to the venue’s entrances and exits, or parking garages.
There is NO reason supporters should have to run a gauntlet of protesters or have any contact with them.
In Chicago and Costa Mesa, the protesters were violent and were allowed to mingle with the attendees.
If Trump is paying for the venue, which he is, he has a right to demand the proper security.
This is Police 101—you keep opposing groups physically separated at all times.
