A US police officer has shot dead an unarmed African American in the state of Wisconsin in what seems to be another case of police brutality against black people in the country.
Twenty-year-old Tony Robinson was shot dead during an altercation in an apartment on Williamson Street early in the evening on Friday, Madison Police Chief Mike Koval told reporters.
Koval said the officer, who was responding to a disturbance at around 6:30 pm local time, forced his way into the apartment where the victim had already gone into.
The officer was “knocked down” after Robinson hit him in the head but the two were engaged in a “mutual combat” and eventually the officer shot Robinson in the head, Koval explained.
“The officer did draw his revolver and subsequently shot the subject,” he said, adding more than one shot was fired. Full story...
