Equally passionate Trump protesters marched through the streets demanding an end to police brutality and anti-immigrant policies, and chanting "Dump Trump!" Less than a mile away, hundreds of Trump protesters gathered in Cleveland's Veterans Memorial Park, many with banners and placards condemning the presumptive GOP nominee. The Cleveland police chief has said there are "thousands" of police from "hundreds" of departments on hand. Both sides sloped away quietly in the end, thronged by many of the 15,000 journalists who have descended on Cleveland. Nor was such an encounter likely given the extraordinary police presence, many from as far away as California and Florida.
