MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — The U.S. Secret Service has finalized the security perimeter for next month’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Police Chief Jeffrey Norman expects protesters to behave.
“The expectation is, express yourself. This is what our constitution’s based on,” said Norman. “But we will not tolerate anything beyond that particular type activity, because this is our city and we’re proud of it.”
Norman also said anything considered to be a threat to the community will not be tolerated.
People will be allowed to carry guns within blocks of the downtown security perimeter.
Protesters will be given two outdoor stages outside the perimeter, although one will be within sight of Fiserv Forum.
The RNC runs July 15-18 and is expected to bring thousand of delegates and others to Milwaukee.
