Lol, of course when a BLM protester shoots a Trumptard in self defense, they get swarmed by riot cops and immediately arrested. But when Kyle "dumbass" Rittenhouse murders two people, the cops let him walk walk right by them with his rifle and go on his merry way back home, only arresting him later when it started to look bad on the cops for basically ignoring his entire shooting spree.

Both of these cases are very murky (Both this guy and Kyle may/may not have acted within the law, and that will be decided in the courts), but the difference in police response is fucking insane when it comes down to the politics of the shooter.

It's just like when that guy shot a Trump supporter in Portland. The cops swarmed his house and basically summarily executed him before he even had a chance to give himself up. If the situations were reversed, the cops would have calmly arrested him (Probably take him to Burger King on the way to jail too)

EDIT: It just occurred to me that the shooter was apparently a private security guard hired by a local news channel (In response to Trump supporters attacking journalists). So while he may not be a BLM protester, he was still there as a counter to Trump's blackshirt dumbasses.

Dude, you're reaching. The cops acted differently in each situation because it was a completely and different situation, in a different location with a different police force.

The cops here were acting doing their job effectively. He was surrounded within ten seconds. They had no idea the politics behind the shooter.
