    Holy crap, they are planning on it hitting the fan bigtime!

    The Federal government gave Cleveland a $50 m security grant to prepare for the convention. With this money, the city plans to field 4-5,000 officers drawn from around the state. Here's what it they plan to equip them with:

    • 2,000 sets of riot-control “turtle suits’’ that include upper body and shoulder protection, shin guards, elbow and forearm protection, tactical hard-knuckle gloves, and 26-inch collapsible batons.
    • 16 police motorcycles, 300 patrol bicycles, 310 sets of bicycle riot control gear, and three horse trailers.
    • 500 interlocking steel barriers that are 6½ feet high and 2,000 shorter steel barriers.

    I might just have to watch this superbowl!
