Over 100 Police Agencies Withdraw From Agreements to Guard Democratic National Convention
Posted Wednesday, July 29, 2020 | By Outside Contributor
At least 100 police agencies are pulling out of agreements to send personnel to next month’s Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Milwaukee, partly over concerns that officers will be unable to use tear gas to control crowds under a recent directive.
The law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin and across the country who are set to withdraw from the security agreements had previously said they will send officers to bolster security at the DNC, which will run from Aug. 17-20 at the Wisconsin Center in downtown Milwaukee.
The move follows an order from the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission last week, which directed Chief Alfonso Morales to revise the police department procedures—including prohibiting the use of tear gas and pepper spray. The order threatens Morales’s termination if he fails to comply “fully and promptly.”
The order came amid intense scrutiny of police tactics at protests and r**ts in Portland, Oregon, and elsewhere in recent weeks, following the death of G****e F***d in Minneapolis in late May.
Morales announced the news of the agencies’ withdrawal in an interview with WTMJ-TV, citing concerns over the order prohibiting the police use of pepper spray and tear gas at demonstrations. He didn’t elaborate on which law enforcement agencies plan to pull out.
The convention has been scaled down to a mostly virtual event due to the CCP (Chinese C*******t Party) v***s p******c, with 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.
The Epoch Times reached out to the Milwaukee police oversight commission, the Milwaukee Police Department, and the convention for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
Fond du Lac Police Chief William Lamb, who chairs the Wisconsin Police Executive Group, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he expects other Wisconsin police agencies to withdraw from the security agreements.
“We respect the Fire and Police Commission’s decision. But in this particular case, we strongly disagree with the actions they’ve taken,” Lamb said.
He said he was concerned that the safety of the public and police officers could be c*********d.
“We believe in removing those tools, the use of chemical irritants or pepper spray, from the available resources that the law enforcement officers would have at their disposal if protests become non-peaceful would severely compromise the safety of the public and also the safety of the law enforcement officers who would be assigned to protect the DNC,” he added.
Other police departments, such as the Madison Police Department which originally committed to providing 100 officers to Milwaukee, decided to pull out over CCP v***s concerns.
According to the Wisconsin State Journal, the department notified Milwaukee early this month that “an accelerating C****-** p******c coupled with ongoing protests in Madison” had strained its resources, making it impossible to commit resources to the convention.

The IQ of the Democrats/left wingers has taken a plunge it seems. They must believe the tooth fairy is going to take care of them.

Is r**ting and l**ting being scheduled for the benefactors of corruption and crime (Democrat) convention? One would think b*m and others would tone it down for them.

Captain, Your post if true is proof that the police force needs more training in their job. Police need to do their job, even if they don't like it.

I used to think that cops that just shoot someone because they can and lie about what happened were a tiny minority, but it dawned on me all the so called good cops that keep silent to protect them. In reality there just as bad as the murdering cops,
This might be why their suicide rate is so hi!

An you can explain what it is you are trying to say?
If I was the mayor of Portland, I would tell the police to use their billy clubs to get the brats some smarts, as their parents have failed. I would also round up all the little s**ts and take them to their parents with a bill for all the damages they caused. Maybe a bill for $20,000k
will get them to open their eyes.

The Dem"molition" party should hire the black m*****a boyz to protect them. The only problem would be if some smart white boys threw them some fried chicken and watermellon that in their rush to grab the grub, their guard would be down and the white boys would take care of the demorats. The Black m*****a boyz would have to be trained to stay away from fried chicken and watermellon which would be a daunting task.

10 of the most dangerous lawmen of the Old West
These guys knew what bad guys needed and these 10 were well trained. Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, John Hughes, Heck Thomas, Harry Wheeler, John Barclay Armstrong, John Hicks Adams, William “Dave” Allison, Bill Tilghman, and Pat Garrett.

Don't like it is one thing, being hamstrung almost to the point of paralysis. Biden wants to get rid of them, just have cops as showpieces, it doesn't work that way. I'm surprised that 100% of police haven't told the Dems to kiss their ass.
