Outside police agencies pulling out of Democratic convention

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Wisconsin police departments are withdrawing from agreements to send personnel to help bolster security at the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee next month.

Police departments in Fond du Lac, Franklin and West Allis have backed out, with some of them citing Milwaukee's new orders against the police use of tear gas and pepper spray at demonstrations, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Tuesday. The departure of those departments casts doubts on the program that's designed to bring about 1,000 officers from outside agencies to provide security at the convention, which is scheduled to take place Aug. 17-Aug. 20.

The convention, which will be held at the Wisconsin Center in downtown Milwaukee, has been scaled down to a mostly virtual event, with only about 300 people expected to attend in-person. Most of the speeches will be delivered online from other locations, though former Vice President Joe Biden has said he will be in Milwaukee to accept the nomination. Despite the event's smaller scale, police are preparing for potentially large protests in and around the venue.

IF they are expecting large protests it will be interesting to see how Biden & company respond.

Perhaps the resulting festivities will make Chicago 1968 look like a church picnic.

We'll see ... somehow I just don't see the protesters creating as much noise at the DEM convention as they will at the GOP convention.

I remember the '68 convention.  There were cops there.  Can you imagine the same with these rioters being unacosted?

I wonder if they remember their vow to destroy Milwaukee if Bernie wasn't the nominee.

More Than 100 Police Agencies Are Pulling Out Of Security Agreements For The Democratic National Convention

It looks like the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee is going to have a hard time finding police officers to work the event. The Associated Press reports that more than 100 police agencies are pulling out of security agreements for the convention. Some are citing a recent order by the city’s police commission to end the use of tear gas for crowd control:

A citizen oversight commission last week directed Milwaukee’s police chief to publicly account for why the department used tear gas during protests in late May and early June after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and to change Milwaukee’s police policies to ban the use of tear gas and pepper spray. The Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission said in its order that Police Chief Alfonso Morales could be fired if he fails to comply…

Since the Milwaukee order was issued, more than 100 law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin and across the country decided against coming to Milwaukee, Morales told WTMJ-TV on Tuesday. They were concerned with directives placed on the police department, including not allowing tear gas or pepper spray, he said.

Nothing like trying to influence democratic plank and policy while holding the place hostage, with no police.  Let 'em full frontal McGovern.

If you’ve ever read about the the 1968 Democratic National Convention, and said to yourself “You know, there just wasn’t enough rioting and violence going on there!” you may get your wish:

    More than 100 law enforcement agencies have reportedly pulled out of security agreements to send personnel to help with security at the Democratic National Convention next month in part because they are concerned about recent efforts to limit law enforcement’s use of tear gas and pepper spray in responding to violent riots.

    Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales was ordered last month to change the department’s policies to ban the use of tear gas and pepper spray.

    “Since the Milwaukee order was issued, more than 100 law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin and across the country decided against coming to Milwaukee, Morales told WTMJ-TV on Tuesday,” the Associated Press reported. “They were concerned with directives placed on the police department, including not allowing tear gas or pepper spray, he said.”

    In Wisconsin, Franklin Police Chief Rick Oliva said, “It is apparent there is a lack of commitment to provide the Milwaukee Police Department with the resources it needs to ensure the safety of peaceful protesters, attendees, citizens and police personnel. I can not send personnel if they are not properly equipped or will not be allowed to engage in appropriate actions which would ensure their safety.”

That's just a crying shame I tell you. Let's waht is private security going to cost them, and what will be their rules of engagement.

This is what a "cop rebellion" looks like.  A city takes away the non-lethal tools to control a riot, which leaves the Officers in a no-win situation (when they have to either kill or be killed), and the Prosecutors will only prosecute the cops, leaving the bad guys alone.

Police from Oshkosh, WI would be stupid to go into Milwaukee under those conditions.

For the convention?  Dims should be setting up a social worker response hot line number to give their Straw Man a try.  Just in case.

The dems have no need to worry.  Why would they need protection anyway from what they claim are peaceful protestors?

 Police Throw A Wrench Into Democrat Convention – Over 100 Police Agencies Just Refused To Protect It
By Ben Dutka|July 29, 2020
 

The much-anticipated Democrat National Convention in Milwaukee is only a few weeks away — but it already faces its first big hurdle.

Many are still concerned about large gatherings as the coronavirus epidemic continues. But this time, Democrats aren’t facing a health concern … they’re facing a security concern.

Typically, these are well-protected events. Police and other law enforcement agencies contribute plenty of manpower to secure such conventions.

Is this what they mean by "What Goes Around, Comes Around?"

This will be the excuse the Rats will use to get out of having a convention where Sloe Joe would have to speak.

Very possible.

There's only going to be 300 democrat-communists there.
Heck... they could hold the "convention" in a high school cafeteria.
