In 2013, I lived next door to a Teen SWAT Camp for 2 weeks — that sounds pretty similar to the Police Cadet Training that Kyle Rittenhouse was involved with.

I watched as they brainwashed teens to think all protestors were potential murderers. And they did this EVERY.NIGHT.

On the last night, they brought in Blackhawks and Bearcats, and created a "game" of protesters with plastic bottles & cardboard shields vs. riot cops with bean bags & plastic shields. They got points for hitting the other team, subduing them, etc. It was like Fascist Dodgeball.

Here& #39;s the thing: if you tell a teenager that protesters are dangerous rats, and then reward them for beating up those rats with rides in a Bearcat tanks, that indoctrination is going to stick.

Just like it did with Kyle Rittenhouse.

It makes these teens feel ABOVE their peers. It gives them authority, and it makes feel SPECIAL — because THEY are told to believe they& #39;re special by the older police, who look down on the people they& #39;re supposed to serve and protect like we& #39;re a burden of helpless sheep.
