Police officers in Milwaukee shot and killed a man near the site of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, according to authorities.
Security arrangements for the convention have come under scrutiny since Saturday when Donald Trump, the former president and Republican nominee for the upcoming November election, was the target of an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.
“Milwaukee has blood on its hands,” said Ryan Clancy, a state representative from Milwaukee. “This is not near the RNC. The police should not be here.”
About 4,000 officers from other states and cities are in Wisconsin for the convention. Columbus, Ohio, provided a “police dialogue team” to work on demonstrations.
