As passions rage, reporters are being taught to avoid street violence from protesters, ‘party militants’ and police
April 23, 2026
If confrontations at Donald Trump rallies are any indication, the Republican National Convention in July may see some of the most exciting – and potentially violent – street protests in recent years, and reporters are being schooled on how to ride out the chaos.
It’s not cheap, but a group that usually prepares journalists and nonprofit workers for problems in sub-Saharan Africa or conflict zones in Syria and Afghanistan is finding convention concerns great enough for news outlets to justify special training.
A two-day course from Global Journalist Security scheduled for early May will feature realistic simulations with “protesters” and “party militants” and already has signed up reporters from a major news wire and a prominent new media company, organizers say.
With a price tag of $1,195, the convention training likely is beyond the reach of most student journalists, rent-overdue freelancers and people with their own low-traffic blogs. But it could help well-financed outfits avoid legal and medical costs, and spare PR departments from having to defend employee behavior.

Ahh, have I not predicted convention violence? They are already setting up for that scenario, so martial law can be enacted and the elections cancelled. Then we will get more Obama indefinitely so he can finish the job or ruining America. Unless of course, there is miraculous intervention.
