Here we go again....:
[White] Madison Police Officer Matt Kenny will not face criminal charges for fatally shooting [black] nineteen-year-old Tony Robinson, [black!] District Attorney Ismael Ozanne said Tuesday.
The shooting did not violate criminal law, Ozanne said, as Kenny used deadly force against Robinson in self defense when confronted with an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm.
Ozanne announced his decision at a press conference sixty-six days after Kenny shot and killed Robinson in the cramped stairway of a Near East Side apartment home on the night of March 6th.
The district attorney indicated he would not take questions from reporters after making his announcement, saying he was going to meet with Robinson’s family immediately afterward.
Police have said Robinson, who was unarmed, assaulted Kenny before he was shot, punching the officer in the head and knocking him off balance. Kenny had been called to the home for reports that Robinson was running in traffic and had battered two people.
Ozanne made his decision after reviewing a state investigation of the shooting. The Division of Criminal Investigation led the inquiry to comply with a state law requiring outside investigations of officer-involved deaths.……
A number of demonstrations have been planned for Tuesday afternoon in response to Ozanne’s decision.
Madison's gonna burn.
When will innocent, law-abiding American citizens ever learn that they have no constitutional rights, and that minorities - especially African-Americans - are ALL above the law and entitled to avenge themselves on "racist whites" (pardon the redundancy) for the enslavement of their ancestors centuries ago by any means they choose?
Exit question: Will the Madison riots be a nightmare for President-in-waiting Scott Walker, or an(other) opportunity to show what real executive leadership looks like?
UPDATE: Told you so:
Madison police say officers have “received information from reliable sources that threats to shoot and kill officers have been made,” after a charging decision has been announced regarding Officer Matt Kenny’s fatal shooting of Tony Robinson.
In an email sent to all Madison alders and forwarded to News 3, Madison police Capt. Kristen Roman wrote, “We have received information from reliable sources that threats to shoot and kill officers have been made. One such threat involves purported statements from gang members/associates that they intend to “riot” immediately following the DA announcement and that threats to “attack” and to “kill the first cop” seen have also been levied.”
King Hussein might be declaring nationwide martial law by the end of the summer.

Your post is disgusting. Rhetoric like what I just read is what incites violence and misunderstanding. If you look at any of the photos posted of the so-called "riots" today, they are all peaceful... marches, silent sit-in protests, and the like. Don't knock Madison's integrity until you've experienced it first-hand.
My post is the truth. You just can't handle it.
But I hope you're right about Madison. Recent history (Ferguson, Baltimore, etc.), however, suggests that the "outside elements" will be showing up in the very near future.
