BREAKING: Kyle Rittenhouse acquitted on all charges in shooting that killed two people and injured a third. nbcnews.to/3nxFnx9
Wisconsin jury finds Kyle Rittenhouse not guilt on all counts in the fatal shooting of two men at a 2020 protest in Kenosha. nbcnews.to/3nxFnx9
The parents of Anthony Huber, one of two men killed by Kyle Rittenhouse, are "heartbroken" that the jury acquitted him of all charges.

"There was no justice today," Karen Bloom and John Huber said in a statement. nbcnews.to/3nwSdLZ
Huber's parents: The "verdict means there is no accountability for the person who murdered our son. It sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence, and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the street"
Kariann Swart, Joseph Rosenbaum's fiancee, Susan Hughes, Anthony Huber's great-aunt, and Hannah Gittings, Anthony Huber's girlfriend, listen to the verdict during the Kyle Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

SPECIAL REPORT: Protesters injured by police last year are still healing from their wounds — but some never will.

Victims describe the lasting effects of broken bones, torn ligaments, scarred faces, and blindness suffered at the hands of officers.
nbcnews.to/3oCTxMQ
Rickia Young was driving to pick up a friend from a protest in Philadelphia in Oct. 2020 when officers broke her windows and dragged her from the car.

Young says she suffered torn ligaments, an injury to her back, and lacerations to her face.

She was never charged with a crime. Image
“They treated me like an animal,” Young says.

“I can barely play with my son. If I try to run, my back will hurt. I can barely do everyday things. I can’t even hold a baby for a long time because my arm will give out on me.” Image

SPECIAL REPORT: Authorities obscured the last four seconds of a 19-year-old’s life in publicly released videos.

New footage shows Christian Hall had his hands up when Pennsylvania State Police killed him.

Published in partnership with @SpotlightPA.

nbcnews.to/30yZ0fP
@SpotlightPA A Chinese American teenager who was fatally shot by Pennsylvania State Police last year had his hands in the air when troopers opened fire, new videos show, prompting calls for an independent investigation.
@SpotlightPA Christian Hall, who had been diagnosed with depression, was standing on the ledge of an overpass in northeastern PA when troopers arrived.

They tried to persuade him to get down, but when they saw he had a gun — later determined to be a realistic pellet gun — they backed away.

The guest bedroom in Earl West’s home in suburban Atlanta looks more like a sneaker warehouse. From floor to ceiling, covering the entire space, there are nearly 900 pairs of sneakers valued in West’s estimation at more than $100,000. (2/8)
West, a self-described “sneaker head” started collecting in 1982. He is among thousands of people in America, especially Black males, who are fixated on sneakers, so much so that they are the drivers of a market that pulled in $70B in 2020. (3/8)

@hechingerreport By bringing the nation’s classrooms into the public’s homes, the pandemic offered a close-up of the system’s failures.

(1/6) #NBCNewsThreads
The ballot measure says the new department "could include" police officers "if necessary."

According to JaNaé Bates, a spokeswoman for the coalition that petitioned for the initiative, passage would not "abolish" the police or lead to the firings of any officers. (2/6)
Supporters of the proposal say it would bolster public safety to include not just police officers but also mental health and substance abuse experts, violence interrupters and others better suited to handle situations that armed police officers ordinarily face. (3/6)
