Police keep order in Tuesday afternoon protests

The symptoms, which can include vomiting and diarrhea, were first reported Thursday as logistics members arrived at a hotel about an hour west of Cleveland ahead of the Republican National Convention, said Pete Schade, Erie County health commissioner.

“The milestones and the benchmarks are not being met”, said Jacqueline Greene, co-coordinator of the Ohio Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, and a civil rights attorney.

A federal judge in Dayton is allowing an OH college student charged with trying to rush the stage at a Donald Trump rally to stay out of jail, but warns him to stay away from Cleveland during this week’s GOP convention.

John Kasich rebuffed a request by the head of the Cleveland police union to suspend that law during the convention, saying he doesn’t have the authority to “arbitrarily” alter laws and constitutional rights. Reforms were brought to the forefront again between 2012 and 2014 after the police shootings deaths of several unarmed African Americans, including 12-year-old Tamir Rice. “You’re blocking a city street”.

A spokesperson for the American Civil Rights Union’s Ohio Chapter, Gary Daniels, said the consent decree has been delayed for now “and wouldn’t have been in place fully even without the RNC”.

The assault on the police officers in Baton Rouge threw a spotlight on risks faced by law enforcement personnel on duty in Cleveland this week.

Security is already tight here and the convention is going forward as planned.

No one was arrested, though protesters defied police barricades and directions several times, at one point sprinting through a parking garage to evade officers on bicycles.

But Emmalee Kalmbach, Kasich’s press secretary, said in a statement that OH governors do not have the power to suspend federal and state constitutional rights or state laws.

The Republican National Convention starts Monday, and Williams said in a Sunday appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation” he expects groups of all stripes to be vocal throughout the four-day convention when reality TV star and businessman Donald Trump presumably will be named the party’s nominee for president.

Dickerson then asked Williams about the possible presence of “anarchists” at the GOP convention.

The second day of the convention started off quietly.

But by the evening, the protests were breaking up.

“I am concerned about the prospects of demonstrations getting out of hand”. “The reform process is in its infancy”.
