Ohio Police Fatally Shoot Armed Man Near RNC, Sparking Security Concerns
The fatal shooting of Samuel Sharpe Jr., a homeless man known as "Jehovah," by five out-of-state police officers from Columbus, Ohio, near the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee has raised concerns about the use of non-local officers for event security. Body camera footage shows Sharpe brandishing knives and charging at another individual before being shot. Local residents and activists argue that Milwaukee police, familiar with the area's homeless population, might have handled the situation differently.
