A fatal shooting took place on Tuesday night in Kenosha, Wisconsin, while people were protesting against the shootings of Jacob Blake.
The shooter, who was caught on video, identified himself as Kyle Rittenhouse, a teenager who allegedly has an affiliation with local law enforcement.
Social media users bombarded the internet with photos of Rittenhouse expressing his support for law enforcement and his affiliation with them too.
Tweets claimed Rittenhouse has some type of affiliation with the Kenosha Police Department
Cadet Rittenhouse, so that’s why they let him go.
Abolish the Kenosha Police. https://t.co/TmaK9rakzM

Kyle Rittenhouse made his intentions known earlier in the evening. Still waiting to hear more from @GrayslakePolice and @KenoshaPolice about his affiliation with the departments. I’d also like to know if the officer that pulled him over a week ago was present tonight. #Kenosha pic.twitter.com/aHePwS1rPe

Video was also captured of Rittenhouse being praised by the police who were overlooking the protest. “We appreciate you being here,” a cop can be heard in the video below telling Rittenhouse and his militia.
