GFP Note: We were discussing the RNC briefly at yesterday's Galactic Council Meeting. I mentioned that local law enforcement was planning to arrest up to 1,000 people, even though the event hadn't even started yet: Court officials increase staffing to handle RNC arrests.
So this morning I decided to follow-up and found that the FBI/Dept. of Homeland Security have issued a bulletin (which I can't find online) warning of possible violence by anarchist extremists. I have posted two articles below to show how different news outlets describe this bulletin. I suggest you also do a quick google search for "RNC Security Bulletin" to see how different sources are reporting on this. It's all over the internet now. Please contact me if you find the actual bulletin. Thank you.

Federal authorities are urging law enforcement agencies across the country to watch out for signs that extremists might be planning to wreak havoc at the upcoming political conventions -- by blocking roads, shutting down transit systems and even employing what were described as acid-filled eggs.
The warning came in a joint FBI-Department of Homeland Security bulletin issued Wednesday.
