“Last night we saw a notable reduction in illegal activity associated with public protests. I am optimistic that reduction will continue this evening.

“I want to thank all the public safety officials who have been working tirelessly to protect our city.

“I have respect for the thousands of Milwaukee residents who have peacefully demonstrated in recent days, and I hope that all future protests are lawful.
