MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Madison Police Chief Mike Koval has taken to his blog to express his sorrow over the fatal shooting of an unarmed 19-year-old man. Tony Robinson, who is black, was shot by an officer Friday night. Police say the officer was responding to a call of a man jumping in and out of traffic and a reported battery, and that he was assaulted by Robinson when he forced his way into Robinson’s home. In a post Monday on his official blog, Koval says his principle in police work has always been that “the police are the public and the public are the police.” Koval says he hopes Robinson’s family and friends can someday forgive the shooting. He says his police department anxiously awaits the results of an outside investigation.
