Officer Matt Kenny of the Madison Police Department will not face charges over the shooting of 19-year-old Tony Robinson, District Attorney Ismael Ozanne said today.

"I conclude that this tragic and unfortunate death was the result of a lawful use of deadly police force and that no charges should be brought against Officer Kenny in the death of Tony Robinson Jr.," Ozanne said.

"My decision will not bring Tony Robinson Jr. Back," Ozanne told reporters. "My decision will not end the racial disparities that exist in the justice system, in our justice system. My decision is not based on emotion. Rather, this decision is based on the facts as they have been investigated and reported to me."

Robinson, an unarmed biracial man, was fatally shot by Kenny on March 6 in Madison, Wisconsin, setting off days of protests in the city. His death came amid lingering tensions over the killings by police elsewhere of other unarmed African-Americans that seized national attention. Ref. CNN

Maybe if he acted more like an adult and less like a child the police wouldn't have had to stun him. Then, his beard and chest wouldn't have caught on fire and he wouldn't be charged with resisting arrest. I just don't feel too bad for this guy.

Why was he in the street naked to begin with? He did not listen to the police and no one can predict that a tazer will cause a person to catch fire. I feel sorry that he caught fire but he would not have if he listened to the police.

KN,

That is exactly how I feel. We need to get back to the place where society holds people accountable for their actions rather than making excuses for them and accusing the police for mishandling them.
