The Hill reported on Wednesday that police detectives in Pittsburgh have been told to start bringing their riot gear to work just in case President Trump fires Robert Mueller and protests break out in the city.

WTAE reporter Marcie Cipriani obtained emails warning detectives of a “potential large-scale protest” in the city — those ads featuring Sam Waterston urging The Resistance to take to the streets must really be getting people fired up, just like a “Law & Order” rerun.
JUST IN: Just spoke to Mayor Bill Peduto, who confirms Pgh Police are preparing for possible protests. Peduto says the commander’s email asking for detectives to bring uniforms & riot gear starting tomorrow, is just precautionary #WTAE

It’s worth talking about — who can forget the riots and protests in the streets after Mitt Romney lost the 2012 election?
Lmao let's do nothing because we don't riot
