"It was not a mistake that Kyle Rittenhouse would kill two people and maim a third on that evening," Grosskreutz's lawsuit said. "It was a natural consequence of the actions of the Kenosha Police Department and Kenosha Sheriff's office in deputizing a roving militia to 'protect property' and 'assist in maintaining order.'"
The shooting occurred at protests that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man who had resisted arrest on a domestic violence call, and who investigators said was armed with a knife. Blake was left paralyzed after being hit in the back with seven bullets.federal criminal civil rights charges against a white Kenosha police officer, Rusten Sheskey, for his involvement in Blake's shooting.
The lawsuit said unnamed militia members responded to Mathewson's Facebook post, saying they intended to kill protesters they said were rioting and looting.
