conventions to know what subgroups were highlighted at that time- veterans probably? I think part of a convention is to let all of the base constituents of the party a chance to talk about what is most on their minds that year. Obviously no one has to watch anything they are not interested in.

Most LEO agencies are not funded to train their officers in conflict de-escalation procedures that can work to defuse dangerous situations. Congress should fund such training immediately. This is an area where politics can actually save lives. I hope it is talked about at the convention.
