Posted on 07/16/2024 12:24:07 PM PDT by EBH

An out-of-town police officer shot and killed an individual early Tuesday afternoon in Milwaukee, said two Milwaukee law enforcement sources. Brian Steel, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Capitol City Lodge No. 9, confirmed that Columbus police were involved in a shooting in Milwaukee. The shooting occurred near North 14th and West Vliet Streets outside of the security perimeter for the Republican National Convention, said Milwaukee law enforcement sources, who asked not to be named publicly because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation. The Journal Sentinel has reporters at the scene.

That's the hood.

That’s not unusual to have out of city police for a big event like the RNC. Chicago will do the same.

Trump should hire his own security. I bet there's 100 retired spec-ops guys who would take the job in a second. we all know the FBI is corrupted. Secret Service would take orders from his new team.

50 sheriff deputies from the Orlando, FL area are up there. The place must be covered up with cops.

Likely just a common ol’ street criminal, looking for a victim and chose badly.

It’s an every day occurrence, and was a couple of miles from the convention.

I didn’t see any coverage of the protests outside. Can anyone fill me in, please?

Not familiar with the town. Looks like it happened right next to the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center /Park

There also appears to be a correctional facility in that area and three or four churches ?

Possibly the Dems can burn the city down now. /s

"happened right next to the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center"

That explains everything in under 10 words. That should have been the lede.

Ugh! That area is terrible to work in ... Every building has a security fence - grounds maintenance is armed.

No indication yet if this has anything to do with the convention. As Sherlock Holmes said, “It is a capital error to reason ahead of the facts.”

I’m not certain, but I believe Long Beach, California police are helping out too, along with forces from other cities. At least that’s what I heard.
