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."



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.”
