Protests lead to scuffles

CLEVELAND (AP) — Donald Trump opponents are planning more protests outside the Republican National Convention in Cleveland as the event reaches it finale.

The anti-Trump forces are planning an afternoon parade and an evening rally Thursday, the day Trump is scheduled to accept the Republican nomination for president.

The four-day convention has been a challenge for police, who have arrested 22 people.

A flag-burning in the streets outside the convention on Wednesday sparked the most turbulent protests of the week and resulted in 17 arrests. Those arrested face charges including inciting violence and felonious assault on a police officer.

Police say two officers were assaulted and suffered minor injuries.

The chaos briefly prevented delegates and members of the media from getting into the Quicken Loans Arena for the evening’s proceedings.
