A majority of the people arrested in Kenosha since the shooting of Jacob Blake last week listed addresses outside the city, authorities said, though booking data show that most are from Wisconsin.
And Kenosha has seen a jump in misinformation spread on social media — made in an effort to scare residents, Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said Monday at a news conference.
“We have vetted out thousands of social media (posts) and most all of them have been false,” he said. “There are people from outside Kenosha, outside Wisconsin, and we’ve had some that are outside the United States, calling in here to scare people of what’s going to happen.”
In one case, Beth said a post warned that buses of people from Wauwatosa were headed to Kenosha suburbs to burn and loot residential homes. Investigators looked into the claim and found it unfounded, Beth said.
This is all Trump's doing. Beware of everything FakeNewsSC55 says. It's dangerous.
