Sorry he wasn't a very innocent young man it seems. Too bad a bullet took his life... but he should have not attack Pedestrians and a Police Officer. He was asking for trouble. So I don't feel too sorry for him.

MADISON, Wis. -- The Division of Criminal Investigation is leading the investigation into an officer-involved shooting that left one man dead.
Madison Police Chief Mike Koval says officers responded to Williamson St. Friday evening to reports of a man walking in traffic and hitting pedestrians. An officer followed the suspect to a residence.
Chief Koval says the officer went into the residence and was attacked by the suspect. During the fight the officer pulled his gun and shot the suspect.
The officer performed CPR on the suspect, who was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Protesters took to the streets near the scene claiming the shooting was unjustified.
poor black people must be so dangerous to live
why must racist still exist
I'm sick of white men police killing blacks
in general killing innocent people.
outside of that uniform, you're nothing.
with a gun everyone is brave and strong
rip he's so cute
Are you just going to ignore that he was suspected of battery and had struggled with police after proving uncooperative?
You have to wonder whether the police response would be the same were the assailant not a POC. I'm unconvinced they would shoot and kill a white person in the same manner for the same reasons.
Americans have such low standards for their law enforcements. The gun is not the answer to everything. Cops don't even carry guns in the UK, you think they don't have these situations? Why are Americans so inadequate?

We need cheaply paid immigrants to take their jobs here in the US. Our own law enforcement clearly isn't up to the task. However, this isn't one of those cases.
