Norfolk police officer fired after investigation into Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund donation
Quote:
A police officer in Norfolk, Va., has been fired after donating to a legal defense fund for Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who shot and killed two Black Lives Matter protesters in Kenosha, Wis., last year, and pledging support for his actions.
Sgt. William Kelly made the $25 anonymous donation to the fund through GiveSendGo, according to The Guardian, which noted that the Christian crowdfunding site suffered a major security breach that exposed the email addresses of people who had made donations to Rittenhouse's fund.
Kelly also reportedly left a message to Rittenhouse with his donation.
“God bless. Thank you for your courage. Keep your head up. You’ve done nothing wrong," Kelly wrote, according to the British newspaper. "Every rank and file police officer supports you. Don’t be discouraged by actions of the political class of law enforcement leadership.”
Kelly was fired this week, officials said.
Very roughly like an employee of Coke donating to Pepsi as vigilantes are a "competitor" to police departments.
