During the RNC this week, Cleveland has been crawling with paid
protesters hoping to disrupt proceedings, but such efforts have been thus far
mostly unsuccessful. Prior to RNC week, and having attended two meetings with presentations
from law enforcement, Secret Service, and FBI, I was concerned that Cleveland
was still vulnerable. This blog post is to say that no matter what happens
tomorrow, Clevelanders owe an enormous thank you to the planning and
preparations by Cleveland Police Dept. and its law enforcement partners.
Cleveland Tea Party’s roving photographer, Pat Dooley, took
photographs today of many of the LEOs, and spoke for all of us when he thanked them
for their service and efforts to keep us safe. You’ll see photographs of local
and visiting police, mounted police, highway patrols, and others from Ohio
State University, Cleveland Clinic, California, South Carolina, Pittsburgh,
Austin TX, Florida, Georgia, Ohio National Guard, and many others. (scroll down for photographs or visit the entire album here.
THANK YOU Cleveland Police
Dept. and partners!!!
UPDATE at 8:30pm: Geraldo is on O’Reilly at Fox giving credit to Gov. John Kasich for the successful security plans and measures in Cleveland. Whaaaaa huuuhhhh??? Kasich had NOTHING to do with this! Kasich couldn’t even see his way clear to come to The Q to welcome the delegates to the Convention on Monday in his own state. It’s the Cleveland Police Dept. and FBI and Secret Service and law enforcement partners that deserve our gratitude.
