I guess Rittenhouse felt threatened by that plastic bag. He could've turned himself into the cops when he approached them. He didn't. He fled the scene.
On a serious note. It is easy for you to sit there and say what he should have done. I would wager that if you were in Kyle's shoes on that day, you would not have acted in the way you are saying he should have acted.

I was confronted by police one time and I put my hands out so they could handcuff me. I told them exactly what I did. Try again. I wasn't dumb enough when I was his age to go play cop around grown adults.

He doesn't have to tell them he shot 3 people. The police should have been able to see that he just shot 2 people and even if they didn't see it, the crowd was telling them "dude just shot somebody."
Here's Rittenhouse getting clocked with the rock you claimed didn't exist. He shoots 2 men in front of the police, the police acknowledge they have injured people straight ahead, yet choose to ignore the shooter. You can clearly hear the crowd yelling at the police that "That dude just shot somebody." You can even hear (presumably) the police respond "Him?" and the man in the crowd confirms it. If those people on the corner could see that Rittenhouse was the shooter, I'm not sure why the police didn't. I don't know why the police chose to assist the shooting victims and ignore the shooter. Why the police didn't arrest the guy trying to turn himself is beyond me, but that is clearly on the police regardless of what Rittenhouse did or didn't say to them. The police were maybe 200 yards from the shooting and had witnesses telling them who the shooter was. Complete failure on the part of the police. TBH, I generally support the police, but those cops should be fired. They literally had a shooting occur ~200yrds away, the shooter approached them to turn himself in. Hell I'm sure at that point Kyle would probably have loved the back of a squad car compared to the streets.
Why you think he should have hung around after what just happened surrounded by a hostile armed crowd with gunfire going off is beyond human comprehension. I could show this video to my 9 year old and he'd conclude "yeah, that dude needs to GTFO." His presence could only result in more death and violence. You want a higher body count?
The police claim to have sprayed Rittenhouse with pepper spray and one copy had his gun drawn. Looks to me like they didn't want to hear whatever it was he had to say.
There's a certain amount of information you're required to provide police...past that bare minimum...I don't talk...not during a traffic stop or an accident...I just exercise my rights
‘It said that it “routinely notifies U.S. private sector entities, including social media providers, of potential threat information, so that they can decide how to better defend against threats” and that the agency, “has provided companies with foreign threat indicators to help them protect their platforms and customers from abuse by foreign malign influence actors.”’
