MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Protesters jammed the Wisconsin Capitol to demonstrate against a white police officer who killed a unarmed black man. Scores of protesters, including many area high school students who skipped class, stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the rotunda as well as on the first and second floors. They chanted “Stand up, fight back, no more black men under attack” and “indict, convict, send those killer cops to jail — the whole damn system is guilty as hell.” Madison Officer Matt Kenny shot 19-year-old Tony Robinson on Friday. Kenny was responding to a call of a man jumping in and out of traffic after assaulting someone. Kenny broke into the apartment where Robinson had gone — police said he heard a disturbance inside — and shot Robinson during a confrontation.
