No charges against white officer for killing unarmed black man

Washington, May 13: Yet another white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in March in one of a spate of similar incidents sparking protests around America will not face criminal charges. Tony Robinson Jr, a 19-year-old black man was fatally shot by white police officer Matt Kenny in Madison, Wisconsin, on March 6, setting off days of protests in the city amid tensions over several such previous incidents. There have been at least 14 major instances of a white policeman shooting dead a black person since 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was fatally shot on Feb 26, 2012 in Sanford, Florida. And in all of them policemen have gone scot-free. Baltimore, near Washington, which last month erupted in riots and violence last month over the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man in police custody, was different from other incidents in that six involved police officers have been charged there. Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne announced Tuesday that he had concluded "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"
