Protests denounce not guilty verdict in Kyle Rittenhouse trial

There were angry demonstrations across the United States last night — a show of outrage over the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse.

A jury found the 18-year-old not guilty of murdering two men he shot last year during an anti-racism protest in Kenosha, Wis.

Activists have previously pointed to differences in how police handled Rittenhouse’s case and that of Jacob Blake, the Black man who was shot by a white Kenosha police officer in August 2020, sparking protests in the city that became destructive and violent.

As Jennifer Johnson reports, Rittenhouse may be free, but he could face more legal action.
