Kenosha Police revealed that a majority of the individuals arrested during the riots that rocked the city following the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake were not from Kenosha.
In a media release, the department said that in preparation for President Trump’s visit to Kenosha, they would not be at a 1 p.m. briefing so they were releasing the relevant information from the preceding week.
“As of 12:30 p.m. August 30, 2020 a total of 175 people have been arrested,” the department said. “Of the people processed during this week, 102 listed addresses from outside of Kenosha.”
People were arrested for curfew violations, carrying concealed weapons, burglary, and drug possession, the police said. Additionally, more than 20 firearms were seized.
The estimated damages to businesses, many of which were set ablaze or looted, is still being calculated, they added.
The information regarding the ‘out-of-town’ rioters comes as Republican lawmakers call for investigations into who is funding the protests across the country.

The Justice Department needs to open an investigation into who is funding these violent riots.

In addition to Rep. Ken Buck’s request, Sen. Rand Paul, who was attacked with his wife while leaving the Republican National Convention on Thursday, said the FBI should make arrests and look into the "interstate criminal traffic being paid for across state lines."
Hopefully Trump will bring Barr with him on the trip and provide info.
The same thing happened in Ferguson, Missouri. In Ferguson, the vast majority of rioters were from out of town.
And now we see in Kenosha, the majority of rioters traveled from out of town, to go start a riot.
Are there any laws about crossing state lines to go participate in a riot?
This is an important point, to note that these incidents are not some sort of spontaneous outrage among local citizens. Someone, somewhere, is organizing and coordinating the movement and activities of people, to go to certain towns and start a riot.
I keep hearing “out of town”. What does that mean? From California, Florida and New York? Or from a suburb 15 miles outside of Kenosha?
This has been the Soros Summer indoctrination Camp Program for years.After 12 years these people are worthless for anything else.
The Justus Department needs to deem these rioters as a terrorist organization. To hell with the Left running interference for these dirtbags.
Agree, and failure for local officials to secure the streets should also be a crime.

Here’s another report that gives some more information...

(EXCERPT)
Since the demonstrations started 7 days ago, Kenosha police have arrested 175 people. But here’s the thing: more than half of them - 102 - listed addresses from outside the city (for those who are wondering, Rittenhouse - who lives with his parents over the boarder in Antioch, Illinois (he’s 17), roughly 30 minutes from Kenosha - wasn’t included in the data because he was apprehended in Illinois).
Those arrested and processed were from 44 different cities, according to Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis, who issued a press release late last night.
Kenosha police will not be taking part in a media briefing Monday afternoon “in preparation for the Presidential visit to Kenosha” on Tuesday, so Chief Miskinis “is providing the community with some preliminary data for the preceding week in lieu of KPD’s participation” in the typical press briefings.
Officials have frequently complained about the fact that Kenosha’s position along a highway connecting Chicago and Milwaukee has apparently enticed dozens of ‘professional activists’ from Chicago and elsewhere to make the trek to Kenosha.
One wonders whether these demonstrations would be carrying on like they have if it weren’t for this accessibility - but that’s a topic for another day.
69 people were arrested for curfew violations, but many of those detained were also hit with other charges, ranging from possession of a controlled substance, to gun possession. Kenosha police have seized 20 guns so far, according to Chief Miskinis.
Wonder how many were also from outside the state?
I’d like to know how many blacks in Kenosha were arrested. If I had to guess, maybe 5. Who are the rest and how can they understand police brutality in Kenosha?
“Hopefully Trump will bring Barr with him on the trip and provide info.”
According to a YouTube segment of the Epoch Times, Trump closed the Houston Chinese consulate because several Chinese soldiers had entered the US with false papers and names. They were in the section of the PLA which is tasked with actual warfighting, as opposed to procurement, logistics, etc. They were researching people who looked like they might be violent and sending them customized training videos.
I didn’t find that Epoch Times report but did find this article. https://www.visiontimes.com/2020/08/04/chinese-consulate-in-houston-likely-burned-evidence-of-spying-says-former-diplomat.html
The article below it contained this quote. “A U.S. Department of Justice official said that while it is to be expected that consulates and embassies double as bases for spy operations, the CCP has pushed the boundaries too far.
“It’s understood that there will be some activity here by those services,” he said, Reuters reported. However, the “sum total of the Houston consulate’s activities went well over the line of what we’re willing to accept.”
“At some point you say, ‘enough is enough,’ and you decide which are one of the worst offenders,” he said.”

If they don’t cooperate pay Mexico to keep them in prison.
“The perpetrators were outside agitators”.
This never sounded like a local response. There is a large active strike force on call, poised to pour into any flashpoint on only a few hours notice. If the police departments were not held on a tight leash in other cities where the unrest has become endemic, a similar pattern of arrests would soon be revealed. Not only that, but the goon squads are frequent rotation between points, never the same staying for very long in any one city.
How many of those arrested have prior arrests?
Press release says from 44 different cities. Would have been nice if they said how many different states and maybe named them. How many from Portland would be good to know.
I believe that crossing state lines to participate in a riot is a big deal. DOJ should trace such travel and the funding that makes it possible. This has RICO written all over it.
Burnt out Kenosha is going to be the Democrat symbol they die on it will be the parked school buses during Katrina moment for DJT along with empty classrooms.Evers can’t hide in Trump’s world he goes straight for weakness.
INCLUDING Jacob Blake-—who had an extensive record.
AS did George Floyd.
