cleveland | Members of a western Ohio militia marched into downtown Cleveland for a second straight day carrying semi-automatic rifles to safeguard people, property and police during the 2016 Republican National Convention.
"If the cops don't care for it, we will," said West Ohio Minutemen member Dan Stevenson.
He and other members of the West Ohio Minutemen patrolled single-file around Public Square Tuesday, donning camouflage military fatigues, semi-automatic rifles and two-way radios.
Stevenson said the seven-member group, based in Lima, would do its part to keep people safe if the thousands of police officers and law enforcement officers from around the country are unable to handle the crowds outside the convention.
