Sheriff David Beth鈥檚 deputies not only fraternized with white supremacist counter-protesters on Tuesday, but allowed the shooter to leave as people yelled that he was the shooter. The sheriff excused this by his deputies may not have paid attention to the gunman because there were many distractions, including 鈥渟creaming鈥� and 鈥渉ollering,鈥� people running, police vehicles idling, 鈥渘onstop radio traffic,鈥� and that 鈥渋n situations that are high stress, you have such an incredible tunnel vision.鈥� Sheriff Beth was also criticized last year after calling for five people of color who had been arrested for shoplifting to be put into warehouses
During the Kenosha Police Department鈥檚 first press conference in response to the Blake shooting and subsequent murders committed at protests, Police Chief Daniel Miskinis blamed the unidentified victims in Tuesday night鈥檚 shooting for their own deaths, saying the violence was the result of the 鈥減ersons鈥� involved violating curfew.
