The chief of police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where two people were shot and killed on a night of protests after Jacob Blake's shooting, appeared to shift the blame for the shooting to those who broke the city's curfew.
During a Wednesday news conference, Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis said the shooting may not have happened if demonstrators and the accused gunman had obeyed the city's newly imposed 8 p.m. curfew.
"Everybody involved was out after the curfew," Miskinis said. "I'm not gonna make a great deal of it but the point is -- the curfew's in place to protect. Had persons not been out involved in violation of that, perhaps the situation that unfolded would not have happened

From what has been reported, Kyle Rittenhouse was on militia duty that evening and would be exempt from curfew.
And Jacob Blake wouldn’t have been shot if he had complied with the police officer’s orders.
Guy is a moron...
This dude needs to take some lessons from Sheriff Arpaio.
So, those of you in favor of curfews: will they be made mandatory nationwide? Under what authority?
Hearing those rioters get the karma they deserved was hilarious..from “DEFUND THE POLICE” to “OMG WHERE ARE THE COPS SAVE US SAVE US” guess there were not enough social workers to help assist such a pity
Is he referring to the shooter? Or the shootee’s?
Kenosha police chief says deadly shooting wouldn’t have happened if people weren’t out after curfew
Hey MORON just who enforces the curfew????
It would be better is he kept his mouth shut and let everyone just think he is fool. Instead he has to come right out and prove it.
He was wanted for sex assault..who went into a woman’s home, took her keys and refused to leave..that is the left’s hero
Or not rioting and committing arson nor attacking the kid with a rifle who was protecting property.
They thought they could beat the kid to near death. They didn’t think the kid would use the gun in self defense.
Lefty had a pistol, he didn’t shoot the kid, but was kicking him in the head. I think the BLM thugs are told to not use their guns. Beating yes. Guns leave evidence.
There was a black guy who made a long video of that night. When this incident went down he was far away and describing how the white Antifa operated, saying the white guys won’t let anyone in close and he video’d one guy walking away who had gone in and the white Antifa slapped his phone out of his hand and would have beat him.
The white Antifa want no video and they were planning to beat the 17 year old kid.
Kid fled and shot back when he was pursued by the criminal Antifa who were trying to beat him to near death. I think they have orders not to kill anyone, but serious beatings are approved.
If the police had shown up to enforce the curfew they would have been attacked by the BLM and ANTIFA mobs.
Maybe he could have the chief of police enforce the curfew.
Make the curfew 24/7 then.
Big time...
Great Question.
The idea with a curfew is that being on the street after a certain hour leads to arrest. What part don’t they get?
That is a pathetic CYA attempt.
If the cops refuse to protect people and their property from violent thugs the people have to do it themselves. I don’t know if the chief is a moron or an asshole or both. They can either do their job or get out of the way so people can defend themselves. The arrest of the 17 year old was done to discourage people from defending themselves. I don’t think it will work when people have to choose between life or death. If a family is threatened they either die or open fire to put down the threat. It’s not a hard decision to make. Kill or be killed.
I'm sure they weren't allowed to do so.
This guy has the chops to be a commentator for televised sports!
“I see this thing turning into a scoring contest.”
“If they want to win, they are going to have to start putting more points on the board.”
“You always see the best defensive players around the football.” Thank you, O.J. Simpson, for that gem.
He’s not wrong, but a curfew is meaningless until it’s enforced. Violating the curfew is not really the problem; it’s the rioting. That’s why there was an unenforced curfew in the first place.
