The police officers had been standing down for two days!

I don’t know what things are like in the Netherlands. But in Bangladesh, we still use guns to protect ourselves from people like the ones Rittenhouse killed. The only difference is that we technically have “gun control” so only the affluent people who can afford a guard to carry their gun for them can protect themselves.



Yes, and in doing so the police managed not to kill anyone. It's a testament to their restraint. Vigilantism is illegal and for good reason, I'm surprised to see you advocating so strongly for it.
