of course they did

as in this case in Kenosha and has always been...I think KKK and getting away with thousands of killings of POC, African-Americans specifically. And in a lot of cases with the sheriff in attendance...whooping it up as the private parts of the men, women and children were cut off before they were hanged and burned on a bonfire I am sure they danced around.

It also cites an email Mathewson sent to the police chief, which according to the lawsuit said, "as you know, I am the commander of the Kenosha Guard, a local militia" and that "we are mobilizing tonight and have about 3,000 RSVP's."

Mathewson, who works as a private investigator, told Reuters that the Kenosha Guard was actually an "ad hoc" group of ordinary citizens, including Black and Latino members, who had never met before the night of the Rittenhouse shooting, and never carried out any training.


Matthewson was the "commander" yet had never met the members or carried out any training? The police chief was ok with 3000 armed, untrained guards being turned loose on his citizens?

You are right, there is something very wrong with this picture.
