38. Several factors seem to back-up claim that, the LE "defendants deputized these armed individuals,"

Can an underage person be deputized? You'd think it would be the responsibility of LE to know that fact and determine age. However does it really matter if your actions were based on the fact you believe them to have color of law.

***MOST IMPORTANTLY: AN AVERAGE CITIZEN CANNOT BE CHARGED WITH VIOLATING AN INDIVIDUALS CIVIL RIGHTS, BUT COULDN'T SOMEONE WHO'D BEEN DEPUTIZED BE CHARGED FEDERALLY FOR RIGHTS VIOLATIONS? UPPER-CASE (CAPS) IS FOR EMPHASIS ONLY (not atitude), HONEST!***

Below From the Story at The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/30/kyle-rittenhouse-sued-kenosha-anti-racism-protest

Rittenhouse was 17 years old when he traveled to Kenosha, Wisconsin, from his home in Illinois, armed with an assault-style rifle, in August 2020. Black Lives Matter protests had been taking place in the city after Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man, was shot seven times in the back by a white police officer, leaving Blake partially paralyzed.
*************************
In the Rosenbaum lawsuit, lawyers allege that police, who were seen to be handing out water to groups of armed men – despite them breaching a curfew – did not adequately respond. Newsweek first reported on the filing of the lawsuit.
*************************
“The law enforcement defendants deputized these armed individuals, conspired with them, and ratified their actions by letting them patrol the streets, armed with deadly weapons, to mete out justice as they saw fit,” the lawsuit claims.
