National Guard to be deployed to Kenosha as officers in Blake shooting won't be charged

National Guard to be deployed to Kenosha as officers in Jacob Blake shooting will not face charges

500 members of the U.S. National Guard will be deployed to aid local police to prevent violence in the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin. The move was made ahead of a court decision on the shooting of Jacob Blake last August.
On Tuesday, Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley announced that his office will not be filing charges against any of the police officers involved in the shooting.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers authorized the deployment of the Guard in anticipation of riots should the outcome of the court decision not go the way activists intend, Kenosha News reports.
“We are continuing to work with our local partners in the Kenosha area to ensure they have the state support they need, just as we have in the past,” Evers said. “Our members of the National Guard will be on hand to support local first responders, ensure Kenoshans are able to assemble safely, and to protect critical infrastructure as necessary.”
Blake was shot several times by police during an altercation with officers, where he resisted arrest and escaped a taser. Footage shows that Blake dove into his car in an apparent attempt to reach for a weapon before he was shot. The shooting prompted riots across the United States. In Kenosha, rioters burned down multiple businesses, and several people were shot on the second night of rioting after counter-protesters, including Kyle Rittenhouse, confronted left-wing activists.
Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the August riots, is alleged to have shot three men, killing two. Also on Tuesday, he pleaded not guilty to all charges. His lawyers claim the shootings were an act of self-defence.
Last November, county prosecutors dropped a sexual assault charge against Blake, along with one count of domestic abuse and one count of criminal trespassing, in a plea bargain. Blake pleaded guilty to “two counts of disorderly conduct and domestic abuse and was sentenced to two years of probation,” according to NBC News.
I actually think the riots won't be as bad this time. There isn't an election approaching, so the need for a wedge issue isn't as important.

Hope Target there is stocked. Cause somehow protesting turns into looting and rioting.

Exactly. If you are a member of BLM or ANTIFA, you get a pass.

Maybe it’ll be too cold for the rioters to wild out too much

Their stimulus checks have already been blown, so how else do you expect them to get more free stuff?

They should strive to join the huge numbers of Americans that won't qualify for stimulus checks.
