Police response As this happens, police vehicles just one block away remain stationary during the gunfire.

Mr. Rittenhouse walks with his hands up toward the police vehicles. Bystanders call out to the officers that he had just shot people.

The police drive by him without stopping, on their way to assist the victims.

Bye bye any charges about fleeing from police or crossing state lines. Tried to surrender to police at the scene.

rare thing in this year - NYT releases something that almost passes for journalism, except they completely gloss over the critical part of that second shooting:

As Mr. Rittenhouse is running, he trips and falls to the ground. He fires four shots as three people rush toward him. One person appears to be hit in the chest and falls to the ground. Another, who is carrying a handgun, is hit in the arm and runs away.

they don't just rush him, each of the 3 is actively attacking him when he shoots them.

I hope this young man knows to keep his mouth shut while in custody and only communicate through an attorney - unless he pleads guilty, he should be able to get out of this scott free.
