“I think they’ve been phenomenal when you think about it,” Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow just told WTMJ’s John Mercure.
“They have been very respectful. I’ve been talking with deputizes, with other police. They have been walking around, very respectful for property owners, and really want to get their voices heard. They’ve done it and done it the right way.”

Protesters gathered outside the Waukesha County Courthouse Monday morning and continued a march on city streets. They are demonstrating over the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police, along with other race-related issues.
The protest began at about 11 a.m. at Frame Park in Waukesha and moved to the courthouse.
Protesters tied up traffic at some points as they chanted “Black lives matter,” “No justice, no peace” and numerous other phrases often-heard during the last few days of protests.
