Virginia police officer 'relieved of duty' after donating to Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund
A Norfolk, Va., police officer has been “relieved of duty” after he expressed support for Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse and donated to his defense fund.
Norfolk city manager Chip Filer announced Tuesday he had accepted police chief Larry Boone’s recommendation to fire former Lt. William Kelly following a Guardian report last week that named many police officers and public who had donated to Rittenhouse. Kelly, who donated $25 using his department email address, also wrote a message of encouragement to Rittenhouse.
“God bless. Thank you for your courage. Keep your head up. You’ve done nothing wrong.”
“Every rank and file police officer supports you. Don’t be discouraged by actions of the political class of law enforcement leadership.”

Sadly he'll probably find a job elsewhere with some Podunk police department.
