If Sheriff Beth and Police Chief Miskinis refuse to immediately tender their resignation, we call on Mayor John Antaramian to demand the police chief's removal with the Kenosha Police and Fire Commission, and the sheriff's removal with Gov. Tony Evers.
To call for Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis' resignation, contact the Kenosha Police and Fire Commission at (262) 653-4135, or fill out a citizen complaint form: https://t.co/g4ttw0KMTg
During the police department's first press conference in response to the Blake shooting and subsequent murders committed at protests, Police Chief Daniel Miskinis blamed the victims in Tuesday night's shooting for their own deaths.
Sheriff David Beth's deputies not only socialized with white supremacist counter-protestors on Tuesday but allowed the shooter to leave the scene.
Sheriff Beth also previously called for five people of color who had been arrested for shoplifting to 'be put into warehouses.'
We're calling for these resignations following the lead of organizers on the ground in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after the shooting of Jacob Blake by police and the murder of two protestors who were shot by a 17-year-old participating in an armed counter-protest.
Happy New Year and Happy Holidays from the #NWUF19 team! We are so grateful for all of our amazing artists and supporters from this past year's festival, which allowed us to donate over $1000 to the ACLU. Stay tuned for more info for 2020!
