5-13-15 madison police shooting-family reaction

todayMay 12, 2015

An attorney for the family of a 19-year-old biracial Madison man says they still have more questions than answers after a prosecutor declined to charge the white police officer who fatally shot the man.  The grandmother of Tony Robinson, Sharon Irwin, says the prosecutor’s decision “is politics, not justice.” Attorney John Loevy says the family supports the community expressing frustration and anger, but they want protests to be peaceful.  Demonstrators are about to start marching toward the Wisconsin state Capitol. A sit-in has ended in the street outside the house where Robinson was shot in March.
