Cleveland: 200 Jail Beds Reserved For Republican National Convention, Donald Trump Nomination

The US city that would host the crucial Republican National Convention in July has reserved 200 beds at the jail anticipating protests during the mega meet that would officially nominate Donald Trump as the party’s presidential candidate, according to a media report.

Political protests during an election campaign, which is quite unusual to the US, has become a routine phenomenon at the campaign rallies of 69-year-old Trump.

At least two such protests have been reported in the last three days, with the one yesterday resulting in arrest of about a dozen people in San Diego, where police had to come in riot gears to control the situation as hundreds of pro and anti-Trump supporters clashed at the rally venue.

Didn't they put people in street pens during Occupy? Who says they wouldn't just round everyone up like animals?
