(CNN)The chief of police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where two people were shot
and killed on a night of protests after Jacob Blake's shooting, appeared
to shift the blame for the shooting to those who broke the city's curfew.

During a Wednesday news conference, Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis
said the shooting may not have happened if demonstrators and the accused
gunman had obeyed the city's newly imposed 8 p.m. curfew.

"Everybody involved was out after the curfew," Miskinis said. "I'm not
gonna make a great deal of it but the point is -- the curfew's in place to
protect. Had persons not been out involved in violation of that, perhaps
the situation that unfolded would not have happened."

CNN has reached out to the Kenosha Police Department for further comment.
The "situation" was a shooting that left two people dead and another
seriously injured early Wednesday morning. Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old
from Antioch, Illinois, has been charged in a single shooting incident.

Police have not said who is responsible for committing all of the
shootings, and they have not provided details on the incident Rittenhouse
is charged with.

Kenosha, Wisconsin, has become the epicenter of nationwide protests
against police brutality after an officer shot Blake, a 29-year-old Black
man, seven times in the back at close range while three of his children
watched from his car.

Blake survived the shooting, and he's being treated in a local hospital
for his injuries. His father, also named Jacob Blake, told CNN that his
son is paralyzed from the waist down, though he's not sure if the
paralysis is permanent.

At Wednesday's conference, Miskinis emphasized that police were not
responsible for the fatal shooting that killed a 26-year-old and a 36-
year-old.

"This is not a police action," he said. "This is not the action, I
believe, of those who set out to do protests. It is the persons who were
involved after the legal time, involved in illegal activity, that brought
violence to this community."

During his Wednesday night show, Fox News host Tucker Carlson appeared to
defend the 17-year-old accused of the killings and said that while
authorities "stood back and watched Kenosha burn," the accused teen tried
to "maintain order."

"How shocked are we that 17-year-olds with rifles decided they had to
maintain order when no one else would?" Carlson asked on his program.
Carlson was roundly criticized for appearing to praise vigilantism and
"justify murder." He made similarly inflammatory comments about the Black
Lives Matter movement earlier this summer.

CNN's Konstantin Toropin and Oliver Darcy contributed to this report.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.

Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
