Cleveland quintuples its investment in 'protest insurance' in run-up to Republican convention

Clevelanders managed to behave themselves for the most part following the Cavaliers’ victory in the NBA finals. As fans filled the streets in celebration, they passed on setting fires and just climbed on things instead, leading to a report of a “stolen” fire truck.

The city enjoyed a wonderful homecoming parade for the Cavs that attracted a reported 1.3 million people, but it seems as though the city isn’t counting on the Republican National Convention to go quite as smoothly.

Cleveland.com reported Wednesday morning that the city had quintupled its “protest insurance” policy, agreeing to spend $9.5 million to purchase $50 million worth of coverage.

Andrew J. Tobias reported that “while the city self-insures its own property and employees, the extra policy will apply to any damage of public property, out-of-town police and their equipment, and any other legal claims made by people arrested during the four-day GOP convention, scheduled to begin on July 18.”

A month ago, 50 police officers from Greensboro, N.C., who were lined up to assist Cleveland police backed out after the police chief learned that his officers wouldn’t be covered if they were injured during the event.
