'We can't support this' RNC plan, Jacksonville sheriff says while raising security concerns

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The sheriff of Jacksonville, Florida, said Monday his office can't keep the Republican National Convention safe when it comes to his city next month, another sign of disorder as Republicans scramble to put on a "celebration" for President Donald Trump to accept the GOP nomination.

Sheriff Mike Williams, a Republican, raised concerns about funding for sufficient security for the four-day convention, which is expected to bring thousands of people to Jacksonville, as well as lacking clear plans.

“Where we are today is we can’t support this plan,” Williams said in an interview with Jacksonville media. "Where do we go from here is a good question. But where we are today, we can’t support it.”

Williams added, “There’s got to be some major re-working of what’s happening.”
