Toledo Police brace for possible civil unrest
TOLEDO, OHIO — Toledo police are gearing up for possible "Civil
unrest" during and after tomorrow's elections.

In an internal memo obtained exclusively by NBC 24 News, officers are
ordered to "Have their riot equipment with them Tuesday and
Wednesday". Police chief Mike Navarre confirms, officers will have
gear similar to the equipment they used during the 2005 race riots.
"They have been asked to have their helmets and their gas masks
available tomorrow and Wednesday.", Navarre says, "That's the
equipment they would not normally carry with them on a normal day".

Navarre also says, officers will not be stationed at individual
polling stations. But the memo says otherwise. It reads, "On Tuesday,
units shall be directed to patrol the polling locations".
