. Moments later, he fatally shot Anthony Huber. And seconds later, he shot and wounded Grosskreutz.

The lawsuit filed Thursday, which seeks a jury trial and compensatory and punitive damages, lists more than a dozen claims. The claims include depriving Grosskreutz of his equal protection rights, retaliating against his First Amendment rights, and alleging defendants conspired to deprive him of his constitutional rights.

“For example, at 9:57 p.m., a Kenosha Police Sergeant sent a message to all officers through the Department’s internal messaging system noting the presence of armed individuals patrolling the streets in violation of the curfew order,” according to the lawsuit. Police “deliberately orchestrated these circumstances,” the lawsuit said. “A clear message was sent that anti-police brutality demonstrators were required to disperse, while armed individuals who supported law enforcement could roam free and assist the officers.”

How does a police department legally deputize anyone who doesn’t have any certified firearms training as well as training in the department’s use of force policy. This sounds like a complete cover up. But why, is my question.

Now this is a new twist and it's going toake it so that he is acquitted.

It’s hard to understand how these cities survived these multimillion dollar lawsuits? The worst part is that they prefer to pay hundreds of millions than to address the root cause of the problem.

Crazy train

Police backed the death squads that murdered protesters for justice for black Americans

PansyKhan When will Killer Kyle be sent to prison? He needs to pay for his crimes.

Self Defense --- he is an American Hero.

The allegations don't seem false on video. You can clearly see this clown run towards cops and they literally ignore the fact he had a gun and ignore people saying he just shot people. What people also don't know. FBI had a drone overhead that shows Kyle starting the whole thing.

A Man Shot By Kyle Rittenhouse Is Accusing Police Of Enabling Militants During The Kenosha ProtestsGaige Grosskreutz, who was shot in the arm, filed a federal lawsuit accused police of enabling militants to engage in deadly violence during the anti-police protests in 2020. Sue that’s the only thing caucasians understand How quickly the mob changes from 'defund the police' to suing the police for not doing their job. Ironically, that job includes dealing with rioters so that Rittenhouse doesn't have to. Also, the article doesn't mention that Grosskreutz was the perfidious pistolier. How odd. Omg, he blames the police? Plot twist!!!

Supreme Court rules for police in two lawsuits claiming excessive forceUS Supreme Court rules that police officers in two cases should be shielded from lawsuits claiming their conduct killed one man and injured another. Agreed, police officers aren't trained properly and it varies from state to state. Roads are different, weather is different, and people are different. So we can't call police criminals, they defend the constitution still. I just believe that police should be appointed by mayors. The Supreme Court is illegitimate. The decisions are ideological, not legal. The police are court officers and the American justice system is incapable of fairly judging itself.
