On the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, hundreds of protesters and counter-protesters gathered in the city. Despite the large turnout, Mayor Cavalier Johnson reported that there were no significant clashes on Monday.
The Mayor described the day as calm and peaceful, with minimal disruptions. The Milwaukee Police Department confirmed two arrests for disorderly conduct, but overall, the protest activity was lower than anticipated.
Mayor Johnson emphasized that the most important outcome was that no injuries were reported, and there was no significant property damage resulting from the demonstrations.
The peaceful nature of the protests reflects the city's commitment to allowing freedom of expression while maintaining public safety. As the Republican National Convention continues, authorities will remain vigilant to ensure that all gatherings remain peaceful and orderly.
