CLEVELAND - As the country reels from the killing of police officers in Baton Rouge and Dallas, all eyes are now on Cleveland.

“A little bit shocked at the security. It’s kind of, I don’t know how to describe it. It’s not disheartening, as I give Cleveland credit for pulling it off. But, sad that it has to be so secure and can’t be more open,” Margie tells Reporter David Schechter.
