I just I don't like how this 17 year old white boy Kyle Rittenhouse killed two people with his AR-15, walking around with his semi-automatic rifle and the cops keep their cool with him and arrest him without having to blast him 10+ times, hell they even gave him bottled water earlier.

Yes, they gave him bottled water BEFORE he shot anyone.
As your link said, they give out bottled water to all kinds of folk.
The kid was not just "walking around with an AR-15"
Rittenhouse was there legally protecting a gas station.
The rioters were there illegally... because well they were rioters.
No one knows why he shot the first guy.
But given his actions we see in the videos that followed, he likely had good reason.
After shooting that first guy, he had to make his way to the police (a block away?).
Either that or more violence would surely follow (many rioters were also armed).
Murderous threats were uttered towards him and eventually he was taken down by the mob.
At that point it became a matter of self-defense (note he only shot those he had to... to escape the mob)
By the way, that one rioter who was shot in the arm was carrying a handgun.
The other two assaulted him and tried to grab his gun.
You said "the cops keep their cool with him and arrest him without having to blast him 10+ times".
Are you inferring that cops never shoot white guys when trying to make arrests?
And/or are you inferring cops always shoot black guys when making arrests?
I hope not, because both takes are ridiculous... and I just know you aren't wishing Rittenhouse was shot by police.

Meanwhile people of colour are getting blasted on with just having a knife or in this case Jacob Blake walking to his car with his kids in there to make sure they were ok.
It's interesting you say "getting blasted on with just having a knife"...
UMMMM. Anyone who resists arrest by pulling a knife SHOULD get shot by police.
And since you said "in this case" Blake was just walking to his car, I'm going to assume you haven't heard:
Multiple witnesses reported hearing the cops yell "PUT DOWN THE KNIFE! PUT DOWN THE KNIFE!!"
... just before he was shot.
