Police wrapping up in chicago about the violence at the donald trump rally there. Nbcs ali vitale covers the rally. Police made five arrests. What other information did Police Reveal tonight . Reporter hi there. We finished up the press conference and we heard not only five arrests made but additional Law Enforcement was added right after the event was called off. Though the Police Department did tell us that they felt that they could have gotten mr. Trump in to and out of the event without concerns, the Trump Campaign canceled the event. Whens interesting and when i asked the superintendent there was whether or not theyd had contact with the Trump Campaign in the days leading up to the event. They said, no, not with the campaign itself but the secret service and when i followed up asking about the secret service felt confident, they referred me to the secret service and they felt as though the secret service felt okay about the security levels and the way that it was being addressed toward the rally here in chicago. So really interesting to hear from the fridPolice Department saying that it could have gone on and the campaign saying because of police and security concerns they decided to call it off. There was a question from another nbc reporter about whether or not the event would have been better if it had just gone on. And the police chief did decline whether or not to say that speculation could be confirmed or not. It is a valid question to ask, was canceling the event worsening the tensions that were stewing inside . Thats something that we have no way of answering and definitely something worth marinating on.
