Oh, and I should add. Note that this was not needed to this degree for the Democratic convention. I know some of it happened, but less... squelching protests as justified as ones protesting the last eight years of misrule, and thus giving the Republicans free rein to lie...

Now, any protesters who are getting violent should of course be arrested, but unreasonable restrictions on free speech in the name of security?

... Given how bad the last eight years have been, it'd take a police state to stop the American people from protesting it... so that's what they think they have to do, evidently. :(
