We all remember how the summer of 2020 exposed bitter fault lines in America, even as a pandemic raged. The streets of the nation have seldom seen such widespread demonstrations as they did in the wake of bystander video of George Floyd's death at the hands of Minneapolis police going viral.
On August 25 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, another demonstration broke out, this time protesting the police killing of Jacob Blake two days earlier. During that demonstration, protesters Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber were shot and killed.
The next day, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse was arrested in connection with their deaths.
