Law enforcement monitored the area as 500-600 people lined the sidewalks. No injuries or property damage occurred. One arrest was made for disorderly conduct.
"We appreciate that a majority of the group stayed on the sidewalk which allowed traffic to move through the area," the Wauwatosa Police Department tweeted.
The event flyer featured a photo of former sheriff David Clarke, a strong Trump supporter, and says "building critical mass for a march on Supreme Court."
The rally was scheduled days prior to the mass shooting that happened at Mayfair Mall on Friday. The shooting left seven adults and one teen injured. They were transported to local hospitals and expected to survive. Police are still searching for the shooting suspect.
