MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Madison Police Chief Mike Koval is defending a white officer who killed an unarmed bi-racial man, urging people not to leap to conclusions about the incident. Officer Matt Kenny shot Tony Robinson in an apartment house on March 6. Police say Kenny was responding to 911 calls that Robinson had attacked two people and was running in traffic. The state Justice Department expects to complete an investigation within the next two weeks. Koval wrote in his blog Monday that he’s outraged over people judging Kenny without any facts. He says he’s known Kenny for more than 12 years, notes Kenny has a college degree and had what he called a robust career as a U.S. Coast Guard medic. He wrote that Kenny has received 45 commendations as a Madison officer.
