A march through downtown Milwaukee Thursday called for justice for Samuel Sharpe and D'Vontaye Mitchell, two Black men killed before and during the Republican National Convention amid a massive security buildup. Sharpe was a 43-year-old unhoused Black man who was shot dead by police officers from Ohio who were in Wisconsin as part of a group of 4,500 law enforcement officials in Milwaukee for the RNC. The shooting took place a mile from the RNC's proceedings. Weeks earlier, security guards at the Hyatt Regency Hotel killed D'Vontaye Mitchell, a 43-year-old Black father who died after security gu…
The Washington Post reports the word "abortion" was not mentioned a single time from the stage during the first three days of the Republican National Convention.

"They may have toned down their voices, but they did not tone down their extreme policies," he says.

Samuel Sharpe was an unhoused Black man shot 27 times by police on Tuesday — but the officers were…
