Police in Wisconsin 'deputized' armed vigilantes during protests against police violence last year, including Kyle Rittenhouse, who fatally shot two people and wounded another, according to a lawsuit filed by the man who was wounded.
. 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.”
