Kenosha sheriff under fire for past comments, handling of protests following police shooting of Jacob Blake - The Washington Post

After five young Black people allegedly stole about $5,000 of clothing, sped away from police and then crashed into a teenage driver in 2018, Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth had a harsh message.
