Columbus police officers shot and killed a knife-wielding man in Milwaukee , WI, outside the Republican National Convention.
Police yell commands to stop and to drop the knife. Officers repeat the commands several times while running closer. Around 40 patrol officers and dialogue team members are at the convention.

"This is a situation where someone's life was in danger; these officers who are not from this area took it upon themselves to act and save someone's life today," Chief Norman told reporters.
Milwaukee residents expressed anger at the deadly use of force by out-of-town officers about a mile away from the convention area.
