A man with a knife was shot dead just one mile from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Tuesday.

The nation has been on edge following the attempted assassination of President Trump, but the incident in Milwaukee Tuesday appears to have no relation to the convention. Instead, it appears to be another day of random violence in a city run by liberals.

The man who was shot Tuesday, 43-year-old Samuel Sharpe, was living in a homeless encampment about a mile from the convention, in the King Park area.

Shooting outside RNC

A group of out-of-state officers from Columbus, Ohio, who were providing security for the convention, shot Sharpe dead when he brandished a pair of knives at another man.

The cops released a bodycam video that showed the officers running toward the suspect and telling him to drop his weapons. He ignored their commands and charged toward another man, who was unarmed, prompting officers to fire their weapons.

You can guess what happened next. Lefties descended on the scene to try to make the suspect into the next George Floyd.

Local bums in the area say the man's life could have been saved if the local police had responded to the dangerous scene instead. They say the homeless encampment is familiar to the local cops by now.

The Milwaukee Police chief has defended the response from the officers, who after all were just trying to save someone from being carved up like a Thanksgiving turkey.

"This is a situation where somebody’s life was in immediate danger,” Milwaukee Chief Jeffrey Norman said.

RNC highlights crime

The shooting was grimly appropriate context for the convention, which had a theme of crime and public safety on Tuesday. Several of the speakers were crime victims impacted by liberal soft-on-crime policies.

A New York mother, Madeline Brame, gave a powerful speech denouncing prosecutor Alvin Bragg for failing to punish the murderers who killed her son, an Afghanistan war veteran. Prosecutors like Bragg have "turned our great country and cities into war zones," she said.

While law-abiding people continue to suffer from this senseless chaos, criminals and bums are the ones feeling liberated.

A friend of the suspect who was killed Tuesday, Edward Watkins, said the suspect heard "voices" and that they enjoyed smoking crack together.

“That’s what we love to do. When we’re in Tent City, we feel we’re free,” Watkins said.
