A police officer in Norfolk, Virginia has been fired after allegedly making an anonymous donation to help Kyle Rittenhouse, the man accused of killing two protesters during a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin last year.
Lieutenant William Kelly was initially placed on administrative duty by the Norfolk Police Department on April 16, according to a press release. City Manager Chip Filer said reports were made that Kelly donated to Rittenhouse and expressed support for his actions.
A legal defense fund for Rittenhouse attracted millions of dollars in donations last year. Rittenhouse was 17 years old at the time of the shooting, which happened during a protest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
