The protests, which gave way to the now infamous Kyle Rittenhouse case, were sprung by a confrontation between a white police officer and Jacob Blake. The officer shot Blake during a domestic disturbance, paralyzing him from the waist down.
A total of 94 charges have been filed by Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley. Among these cases were 70 felony crimes and 18 misdemeanor cases. Six cases involved juveniles.
Fifty-seven adults in total have been charged and are either incarcerated or awaiting a hearing or trial. Their charges range from burglary and looting to the destruction of an ATM. Other counts include those for some type of “assaultive” behavior and making threats against the police and the National Guard. However, the District Attorney thinks they might not be done with filing felony charges just yet. In fact, they might just be getting started.
