Insurrection

In 2000, when the RNC decided to hold its presidential nominating convention in Philadelphia, the city’s Police Commissioner assumed he’d be given the Party’s top security position. Unexpectedly, the Chairman of the nominating committee offered that esteemed position to his “Special Assistant,” Inspector Mickey Devlin. Needless to say that decision did not sit well with Commissioner Delany. As always, the Commish found a way for the RNC’s slight to work in his favor, especially when Inspector Devlin’s security strategy was working without a glitch. Then came day three of the Convention, when things changed and the mayhem began.
