Cleveland: Police Union Asks For State of Emergency, Ban on ‘Open Carry’ for Convention

-
President of Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association wanted the ban, and said, "I don't care if it's constitutional or not."

SPOILER: GOV Kasich denied it, saying, "Ohio governors do not have the power to arbitrarily suspend federal and state constitutional rights or state laws as suggested."

Police Union Asks For State of Emergency, Ban on 'Open Carry' for Convention

The president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association, Stephen Loomis, is worried about the prospect...

And a good reaction here.


UPDATE: Another unconstitutional belch from that police president:

“We are going to be looking very, very hard at anyone who has an open carry,” he said. “An AR-15, a shotgun, multiple handguns. It’s irresponsible of those folks — especially right now — to be coming downtown with open carry AR’s or anything else. I couldn’t care less if it’s legal or not. We are constitutional law enforcement, we love the Constitution, support it and defend it, but you can’t go into a crowded theater and scream fire. And that’s exactly what they’re doing by bringing those guns down there.”

THE DAILY FUDD: E282: “Wheel of Fudd: Article on US military revolvers.”

Interesting is that the training manual post World War II seems to allow for individual choice of calibers, plus even single-action revolvers. While standardization is important, I do like the idea of possible use of private firearms in the capacity. https://www.shootingillustrated.com/content/the-evolution-of-military-revolver-training/?fbclid=IwY2xjawMdWBFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHrOEhoZkhpbXE0dYPVAPw_piYKbXZ4Bmyj8qpovQ6oDjXhvtAOC3io0Ta0p4_aem_0Dd-JTDP_frKAY02wP5xMw Snip More at link above.

CGNS fun with AI — cats, guns, and “knights” of various eras.

By Meta AI through Facebook Messenger. Armor, guns, and cats, with Warhammer 40K-inspiration (in progress). ( These next two below are not my work, but were sent to me for a slightly different project.)   Then it finally occurred to me that there was no way I would ever get a cat to wear a gas mask! —— A few intermediate steps I found interesting. And one stolen, the only change being the sword changed to a rifle barrel. One added, improved version of one above: Better background. Removed loose-hanging hose. It is a flaw in the original W40K design. The smart way would be to have the hose more closely clamped to the body. It would still permit free movement of the head.  I like this backpack design, even with the exposed tube or two. Needs a better image of the soldier. O D Dedese   UL: Uses original bag, but hangs low. UR: Hangs higher, but cat has no forward view. LL: Forward view and cargo carriage, but large and dome looks odd. LR: Forward view and cargo carriage, but...
