A new federal civil rights lawsuit filed on behalf of the family of Anthony Huber, who was allegedly fatally shot by Kyle Rittenhouse during civil unrest last summer, accuses Kenosha, Wisconsin law enforcement of conspiring with armed individuals patrolling the streets that night.
"Astonishingly, the Kenosha Police Department, Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department, and their supervising officials and police officers, did not treat Rittenhouse or any of the other armed individuals patrolling the streets as a threat to the safety of themselves or the citizens they were sworn to protect," the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Division, says.
The lawsuit names the city of Kenosha, Kenosha County, Kenosha County Sheriff David G. Beth, former Kenosha Chief of Police Daniel G. Miskinis, acting Kenosha Chief of Police Eric Larsen and unidentified officers of the Kenosha Police Department and Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department as defendants. It does not seek a specific amount in damages.
"While we understand that the family of Anthony Huber is grieving his loss, we must make it clear that the allegations against Sheriff Beth and the Kenosha Sheriff’s Office are demonstrably false," Sam Hall, an attorney representing Kenosha County and Sheriff Beth, said in a statement obtained by the."The facts will show that Mr. Huber’s death was not caused by any actions or inactions of Kenosha County law enforcement.
The lawsuit claims that armed individuals arrived in Kenosha in August 2020 in response to a Facebook post by Kevin Mathewson, a former Kenosha alderman who founded a militia group called the Kenosha Guard. He put out a call for"patriots willing to take up arms and defend our City tonight against the evil thugs" and received hundreds of responses from people who planned to respond to the riots.
