12. For people unfamiliar with Milwaukee

if you are almost a mile away from the "zone" then that is a quite a distance of many city blocks. Klanfest is in a building of a couple blocks size. As you move west from Klanfest you are talking about some downtown businesses and then the major interstate I-43. On the west side of I-43, once you have breathed a sigh of relief to be away from the stench of Klanfest, it goes into a mix of old inner city housing/renewal buildings/small businesses and services. I have no idea what these Ohio cops were doing that far away on bicycles to boot. Why on earth is the zone for those cops out that far away from the security zone? The security zone perimeter itself is already several blocks out around Klanfest in all directions.

Disputes at homeless encampment/services areas happen all the time given the various problems that people have. De-escalation is apparently meant in Ohio to be a yelled command to do something and if you don't get immediate compliance then everybody empties their weapon. But as we know the fact that someone has been shot and killed will please to no end the folks at Klanfest and be one of the things they mark down as making their national "gathering" of the Klaverns a success.
