After 17-year-old white vigilante Kyle Rittenhouse murdered two people in Kenosha, Wisconsin he was recorded walking past numerous police vehicles, with the murder weapon slung over his shoulder.
He then had a conversation with police, where he, presumably, told at least one of the officers what he had just done. Several people also screamed to the police that he had just shot down two people.
Why did Kenosha Police let Rittenhouse walk past them? Why did they allow this white armed vigilante murderer to go back home to sleep in his own bed?
Something stinks to high heaven here.
Last Tuesday, Rittenhouse murdered Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26. He also injured Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, who was a medic.
In an act of selfless bravery, Huber chased down Rittenhouse after he had gunned down Rosenbaum. He tried to disarm Rittenhouse. Sadly, he paid with his life.
Huber was the kind of white person America needs more of. He sacrificed his life to make this country a more just society—unlike the racist conniving conman puppeteer president who encourages white supremacy and white vigilantism.
Huber’s girlfriend, Hannah Gittens, gave an emotional statement about the kind of person he was.
“He pushed me out of the way and ran off after him [Rittenhouse] because he was not going to let anybody get taken down by some a*shole with an AR,” Gittings said.
Speaking of Rittenhouse, she said, “He will pay for what he f*cking did – coming out here wanting to play shooter and killing innocent people and ripping away the most promising future of 26-year old man. He will pay. He will pay.”
Hopefully, Rittenhouse will pay by being prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Rittenhouse was arrested by police in Illinois, not by Kenosha Police.
However, it should be noted that Rittenhouse’s right-wing lawyer, John Pierce, is floating out his defense strategy claiming Rittenhouse acted in self-defense because he was allegedly attacked by a “mob” who he says were “determined to hurt Kyle.”
Pierce has previously defended Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and former Trump adviser Carter Page. Pierce also claims Rittenhouse is being used as a “scapegoat.”
This of course is nonsense given the recording of Rittenhouse committing murder. However, Pierce’s defense may be helped by this fact: the Kenosha Police’s decision not to arrest his murderer. Pierce may well use this decision not to arrest in his favor.
An independent investigation into the Kenosha Police must be done in this matter, as is already reportedly being done in the attempted murder investigation of Jacob Blake by officer Rusten Sheskey. There can be no justification for not taking Rittenhouse into custody after he murdered two people, even if these officers thought he acted in self-defense.
The evidence already tells us the white armed vigilantes, of whom Rittenhouse was a part, are very chummy with the Kenosha Police Department.
Video recording shows Kenosha Police giving out water to them and praising them. In one video, police are heard telling these white vigilantes “We appreciate you guys, we really do.” While this was happening, Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis blamed protestors for the murders perpetrated by their armed white friends.
Therefore, we must pose this seriously troubling question: is the Kenosha Police Department infiltrated and perhaps even controlled by the KKK?
Is that why officer Rusten Sheskey has still not been arrested. Is that why Blake was handcuffed to his hospital bed—even when police knew he was paralyzed from the waist down?
The question of white supremacist infiltration of American police departments is one of the stories mainstream media has been derelict in its duty to cover.
In 2006, the FBI in an intelligence assessment warned about white supremacist groups who have been infiltrating police departments. In their assessment, the FBI noted that White supremacist groups had a “historical” goal in “infiltrating law enforcement communities or recruiting law enforcement personnel.” The report identified the term “Ghost Skins,” used to describe White supremacists “who avoid overt displays of their beliefs to blend into society and covertly advance white supremacist causes.”
Black Star News’ Colin Benjamin has written numerous articles about this “Ghost Skin” issue as it relates to racial policing. But American politicians, like the corporate media, take the “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” approach to this dangerous topic.
The blasé behavior of Kenosha Police to these armed white vigilantes has led some to rightfully call for the firing of Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis and Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth.
There can be no excuse for the conduct of the Kenosha Police Department and the double standards that we have witnessed in regard to the attempted murder of Jacob Blake and the murders committed by Kyle Rittenhouse.
Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back. We are now being told Blake admitted he had a knife in his car. They wanted us to believe Blake told them this—while he was in a hospital bed after just being paralyzed by seven shots to his back.
But while Blake is the victim of an attempted murder, the perpetrator, officer Shesky, has not been arrested. And police even had Blake handcuffed as if he was guilty of something, and as if he could actually walk away somewhere in his condition.
Yet, this same Kenosha Police Department allowed an armed white murderer to walk away after he murdered two people. And they accuse those who are being attacked by white vigilantes of being lawless. Moreover, the Trumpian Republican hypocrites say nothing about this while demanding that unarmed protesters remain peaceful.
The facts as we know them now suggest the Kenosha Police Department is suffering from more than systemic institutional racism. It suggests, at the very least, they have some sort of a working relationship with armed white supremacist vigilantes. We need to dig to find out the full extent of this relationship.
Fair-minded Americans of conscience must demand a full investigation to get to the bottom of what is going on between white vigilantes, like Kyle Rittenhouse, and the Kenosha Police Department.
