\n More than 100 police agencies will no longer send personnel to boost security measures at next month\u2019s Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee \u2014 partly over concerns about a recent directive ordering city cops not to use tear gas to control crowds.<\/p>\n

The Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission, a citizen oversight commission, last week ordered the city\u2019s police chief to publicly account for why the police department used tear gas in late May and early June during protests over the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

That order also directed the department to change its policies to ban the use of tear gas and pepper spray \u2014 and that Milwaukee\u2019s police chief Alfonso Morales could be fired if he does not comply.<\/p>\n

Morales told local outlet WTMJ-TV that many agencies are concerned about the new order.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you rule an unlawful assembly to help break up that crowd, once we deem them unruly, that\u2019s a safe manner in doing so. Not having those tools increases the potential for more violence,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s a big concern for the law enforcement community within Milwaukee and outside of Milwaukee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local police departments in West Allis, Fond du Lac and Franklin \u2014 which were going to send 30 officers in total \u2014 withdrew for that reason, according to the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe respect the FPC\u2019s decision making authority but we strongly disagree with the actions that they\u2019ve taken,\u201d Fond du Lac Chief William Lamb said in a statement obtained by the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that removing those tools from the available resources for law enforcement officers to use if protests become non-peaceful will severely compromise the safety of the public but also the men and women who will be called upon to protect the DNC.\u201d<\/p>\n

The convention, set for Aug. 17 to 20 at the Wisconsin Center in downtown Milwaukee, has been scaled down to a mostly virtual event, with only about 300 people expected to attend in-person.<\/p>\n

Former Vice President Joe Biden has said he will be present to accept the nomination.<\/p>\n

Though the convention will be smaller in size, cops said they are preparing for the possibility of large-scale protests.<\/p>\n

Morales told the local station he\u2019s not ruling out getting help from the National Guard or the federal government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose will be options and those options are still at the table,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a statement obtained by The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, local police said the department\u2019s \u201ctop priority remains to ensure that next month\u2019s DNC is a safe event for all visitors and participants.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
