Republican Convention Begins With Protests

By Adam Ferrise for cleveland.com. Demonstrators marched through downtown Cleveland Sunday in protest of Donald Trump, one day ahead of the Republican National Convention. Officers from Cleveland, California and Ohio State were seen helping to block traffic and monitor the protest. A police bike crew outfitted in Fox Racing BMX-style gear also helped the bike unit. One police officer took videos of the protesters faces after they stopped at East 9th and Lakeside. The protesters took a winding route through the city, starting at the Masonic Performance Arts Center on East 36th and Euclid. The group marched on Euclid Avenue, turned through Cleveland State University's campus, then through the Playhouse Square Theater District. The group chanted several slogans, including: "5-6-7-8 America was never great," "black lives matter," and "No Trump, no K-K-K, no fascist U-S-A." The protest included people and groups from as far away as California. Organizers named the two-hour protest "Shut Down Trump and the RNC."
