Bracing for chaos in Cleveland
Sacramento Bee ^ | July 17, 2016 | Erika D. Smith

Posted on 07/18/2016 6:14:45 AM PDT by artichokegrower

When delegates arrive for the first day of the Republican National Convention, they’ll have no doubts about where to go. Quicken Loans Arena is plastered in a gaudy array of cutesy elephants and red, white and blue banners.

Cleveland has the dubious distinction of being the first city in the country to host a political convention with its Police Department under a consent decree from the federal government for civil rights violations against black residents.


Oakland, California also has its police department operating under a consent decree. What do Oakland and Cleveland have in common? Years and years of an ultra liberal Democratic administration.

So that means Loretta Lynch is in charge.

Prayers up for all delegates, alternates, speakers, and Bikers for TRUMP.

And then special prayers for the police in Cleveland, the police nation-wide.

The Sacramento Bee would love chaos and riots in Cleveland this week.

Liberal rags just can't help themselves.

I'm sure one of the last objectives of the Obama Admin is to get as many large city PDs under Consent Decrees. They, Obama et al, have been trying to Federalize individual State Police forces ever since they took over in 2008. Rumor has it that Lynch was in Arizona to confer with the Phoenix PD when she met with Slick Willy. WE CANNOT ALOW THE UN (with Obama’s acquiescence) TO TAKE OVER OUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS. Period.

Donald Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, two of the most divisive politicians in modern history

Ah, there we go. That classic Sacbee echo chamber. What percentage of the U.S. population even knows who Mike Pence is?

Create a crisis that they already have a solution for. They are hoping by sitting on the side lines and allowing the police to be picked off that they will come into the UN fold with the promise of being protected

The writer, Erika Smith, is a race monger. She has been getting a lot of press lately with her pro Black Lives Matter editorials.

It's amazing to watch thugs, opportunists, professional rabble rousers, extremists, bigots, radicals, bored young people, naive college kids, violent paid agitators, self-hating Americans, disenfranchised Democrats and a liberal media all converge for one big goal:

Ensure that there will be massive protests and violent confrontation at the RNC.

For bored kids it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to relive the Hippy culture they never knew and recreate a 1968 DNC environment.

For aging Baby boomer hippies that have long since outgrown their radical stage, it's an opportunity to relive the glory days.

For new hate groups like the Black Panthers and Bowel Lives Movement Matter, it's an opportunity to really cause havoc and death.

For radical anarchists it's an opportunity to destroy anything and everything.

For the media it's the possible scoop of the decade.

What this all means is that they have hyped their objections to civil society, free speech and the possible election of a Patriotic American to levels never before seen...all designed to prove a point:

They have a grievance.

It is terrible that all of us are expecting trouble and perhaps may get it in the end.

May G-d Bless America, her honest, law abiding people and the Law enforcement personnel who have become targets.

“Bracing for chaos in Cleveland’”

If Cleveland, and Cuyahoga county feel like THAT, they never should have cashed that big fat RNC check! (Again-Liberals having it BOTH ways)

The RNC made a mistake ANYWAY, choosing Cleveland!

SO messed up!

It will be even better for Democrats next week when the arena ...

....is plastered with a gaudy array of cutesy jackasses and red, white and blue banners.

They are even going to have cutesy braying jackasses on stage and in the audience. Why they think this is better than TRUMPeting elephants on stage and in the audience defies explanation.

Obama wavered on appointing Hillary as Secretary of State. Now we see why.
