   Police in Kenosha bash out van window, a

   KENOSHA, WIS. — Police officers in Kenosha were on alert after   
   days of protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake by one of   
   their colleagues, and they’d recently gotten a tip about   
   “suspicious vehicles” from out of state.   
      
   So, after watching a group of people fill cans at a gas station   
   Wednesday and then hop into a minivan with Oregon plates, the   
   officers sped in. A bystander’s video shows officers leaping out   
   of black SUVs with guns drawn. About 25 seconds later, an   
   officer shatters the van’s passenger-side window with her baton,   
   unlocks its door and pulls a person out.   
      
   The group turned out to be members of Riot Kitchen, a Seattle-   
   based organization that serves food at demonstrations. Jennifer   
   Scheurle, a member of its board of directors, said they were   
   filling up gas cans to power a generator for their food truck.   
      
   The nine taken into custody in the SWAT-style operation   
   Wednesday were among dozens of people arrested this week in the   
   Wisconsin city. The arrests have highlighted activists’   
   complaints that police have been responding to protests over the   
   white officer’s shooting that left Blake, a Black man,   
   paralyzed, even as they’ve tolerated armed militia groups.   
      
   The Riot Kitchen members were charged with misdemeanor   
   disorderly conduct, but all were free by Friday morning.   
      
   “We reject all claims that our crew was there to incite violence   
   or build explosives,” said Scheurle, who was not among those in   
   Kenosha. “Our nonprofit organization has always been and will   
   always be about feeding people.”   
      
   Riot Kitchen HQ just learned that our bus crew was arrested in   
   broad daylight in #Kenosha today - kidnapped by feds in unmarked   
   vans.   
      
   We are currently trying to find our friends who were just there   
   to feed people.

   Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis said at a Friday news   
   conference that “just under 50” people had been arrested during   
   the protests. The department later provided a list of 58   
   charges, more than half of them for curfew violations, but   
   declined to specify the number of people arrested or provide   
   names.   
      
   “I believe everybody out there in law enforcement has been   
   friendly to both sides,” Miskinis said.   
      
   An analysis of jail records since the day of Blake’s shooting   
   shows about 45% the people facing charges seemingly related to   
   the protests live outside Wisconsin.   
      
   Those arrested were almost 70% white and about two-thirds male.   
   The vast majority were charged with misdemeanors or civil   
   violations, although there were also some felonies. Miskinis   
   said one person had been charged for having a “flamethrower.”   
      
   More than 20 of the people remained in jail Friday afternoon.   
      
   Adelana Akindes, a 24-year-old from Kenosha, said she spent   
   nearly a day in a crowded cell after being arrested Wednesday   
   while walking toward the demonstrations carrying a shield.   
      
   Police had Akindes and three others lie on the ground as they   
   put them in handcuffs, she said, adding that officers did not   
   read their Miranda rights or say why they were being arrested.   
   She was released on Thursday evening and charged with breaking   
   curfew.   
      
   “They wanted to scare us,” said Akindes, who is Black. “They   
   wanted to make an example of us.”   
      
   The early days of demonstrations and unrest after Blake’s   
   shooting saw some people destroying buildings, setting fires and   
   hurling objects at police, who responded at times with tear gas.   
   The last three nights have been mostly peaceful, and police have   
   not fired tear gas or pepper balls. But they have used tactics   
   that local activists see as heavy-handed.   
      
   On Thursday night, police pulled over several cars of people   
   headed to protests. They arrested a group of people in one   
   vehicle and searched the car of another group.   
      
   “There has been no respect for anybody’s civil rights,” said   
   Isaac Wallner, a 30-year-old Kenosha activist. “It’s been a   
   police free for all. They do whatever they want.”   
      
   So do niggers.  Shut up and go sit down.  We're done with your   
   primitive destructive shit.  You niggers still haven't learned   
   how to behave after 150 years of freedom.
