...incite problems at the convention.

What's next from them, Democrats in disarray?

...Chicago paper, but yeah, I can see how an Arizona paper is playing to their audience even though it wouldn't affect them locally.

How are you expecting Mayor Johnson to handle protesters and counter-protesters skirmishing in Grant Park and spilling into the streets of Chicago?

Johnson's not perfect, but he's not Daley.

Mayor Richard J Daley, had refused permits to allow anti-war protestors to march on the convention or sleep in the city parks and had put Chicago police on notice with an infamous “shoot to kill arsonists” order after the April riots which ravaged the city after Dr King’s assassination.

Frank Kusch, author of Battleground Chicago, who interviewed 87 veteran police officers for his book, said: “They knew that they were not to let these things happen again and that they were to come down much harder on protests in the future.

“They felt they had to, and they felt encouraged too, that they had permission to go after demonstrators and be brutal.”

Yhe Walker Report, an official study of the violence in Chicago, said after an 11pm curfew passed on the first night, police “in a state of excited anger” moved in to clear Lincoln Park in a “scene of police ferocity” which spilled on to the streets.

The report – headed by an independent observer from Los Angeles police – concluded that: “Individual policemen, and lots of them, committed violent acts far in excess of the requisite force for crowd dispersal or arrest. To read dispassionately the hundreds of statements describing at firsthand the events of Sunday and Monday nights is to become convinced of the presence of what can only be called a police riot.”

I was 20 years old in '68 and in August traveled to both conventions, Miami Beach and Chicago.
I'm well aware of what Major Daley, as we referred to him as, and his storm troopers did.

The question is what does Brandon Johnson do to avoid the spectacle?

Might want to contact the mayor's office and governor's office. If you're well aware of Mayor Daley, then you must know him not being around is a plus.

Here you go. Some of the plans: https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-dnc-security-plan/#textThe20Secret20Service20will20operateand20Ashland20to20the20east

200,000 protestors descended upon NYC, 1800 arrests.

GWB won re-election in a landslide.

And nobody remembers those protests.

They'll talk about "Democrats in disarray" for DAYS.

I'll never forget the media many times covering every damn Tea Party event, even if there was only a handful of people-meanwhile actual civil rights and other kinds of democratically-themed events, sometimes with hundreds or thousands of people, got a shrug from that same media

his supporters not only refused to support Hillary, but heckled speakers such as John Lewis and other speakers at the convention.

Cornell West, David Sirota, Nina Turner refused to support the Democratic Nominee.

Will this be a 1968 convention, or a 2016 convention, or 2020 convention?

Biden is the presumptive nominee, who won the vast majority of delegates. If those minority uncommitted delegates believe they can disrupt the convention, what purpose would that achieve?

It would only play into the hands of trump.

I like Bernie. In fact, I voted for him in 2016. But he didn't win the primaries. Hillary did.

is very common in the Democratic Party

His book about the 1968 convention was funny, alarming and great history. It's well worth reading it if you never have.

Take it for the source that printed it first.

The feds are in charge of security for both conventions.
