Teen charged in Kenosha killings, Kyle Rittenhouse, had a history of praising police

LA Times  

Inter Miami players wearing Black Lives Matter shirts gather on the field before their MLS soccer match against Atlanta United was called off in an act of protest on Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. An empty court in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., where the Milwaukee Bucks-Orlando Magic playoff game was canceled. After riots in Minneapolis, he wrote that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” The phrase harks back to the ’60s, when it was used to describe police crackdowns on Black civil rights activists. “I’m in pain for Blake and his family, and there is no way you can watch the video of police shooting him and think it’s OK,” said Owens, 52. In a statement, the department said police were called Sunday to a home after a woman said her “boyfriend was present and not supposed to be on the premises.” Kenosha police do not wear body cameras, but the statement matches what’s seen on bystander videos, which show police trying to arrest Blake before he walks to his car door, opens it and is shot in the back after Sheskey grabs him by his tank top. The state Justice Department said police tried to Taser Blake before the shooting, which “was not successful in stopping Blake.” Blake’s lawyer, Benjamin Crump, has said Blake was “simply trying to do the right thing by intervening in a domestic incident” and described the officers as “irresponsible, reckless and inhumane.” Crump, who has represented the families of several other Black men shot or arrested by police, including Floyd, said Blake’s sons, ages 3, 5 and 8, were in the car as police shot him.
