Five police officers from Columbus, Ohio, shot a man early Tuesday afternoon just west of downtown Milwaukee, three law enforcement sources told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The man died from his injuries, the sources said.

The shooting occurred near North 14th and West Vliet Streets just under a mile from the security perimeter for the Republican National Convention, according to the law enforcement sources, who asked not to be named publicly because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation.

Geez

if it's another potential shooter, Trump might be feeling like he's cursed.

Nah. It had nothing to do with the RNC.

Other than the Ohio cops being in Milwaukee

This is only in the news because of the RNC. This is actually just cops being cops and it being in Milwaukee is a coincidence

Reading through the article, it looks like a homeless person that was well-known to the area.

The man who was killed was well-known in the neighborhood, several witnesses told the Journal Sentinel.
He lived in one of the tent encampments, was known by the nickname Jehovah and took care of a pit bull, they said. Police could be seen removing the dog from the encampment around 2:30 and putting it in a MADACC van.
Eddie Johnson, 55, a friend of the man, said he was a "beautiful person" who was known to walk his dog and carry a Bible.

thank you.

I thought the OP had the whole story, since some breaking news articles are really short, but I should have clicked on the link just in case.

Bet you the ""Christians"" who think God saved Trump won't comment on this.

And yeah it was a homeless person killed by an out of state cop. In state cops apparently have de-escalated fights before, but the out of towner had no reason to give a fuck I guess.

"Good Christians" and "Gun-Loving" are the Peanut Butter and Jelly of today.

The board never changes. Vague antifar police topic and everyone in here saying police shooting innocent man who walks with a Bible.

there is bodycam. He was chasing and fighting another citizen armed with a knife in front of 5 cops

Cursed?

The man is the luckiest person in the world somehow. Literally everything goes his way.

Saw the video and I don't know what Milwaukee cops could've or would've done differently there
