It used to be when I was growing up that baseball was truly the nationI past time. More recently it seems that football has taken overcan, and this is most likely why the Tom Brady suspension for 4 games due to deflating footballs to his liking has taken up so much media time.
But it seems that nowadays the National Past Time is protesting and/or rioting whenever a police officer shoots a black person, even if the officer was in his lawful right to do so.
In Madison, Wisconsin, a 19-year-old biracial Tony Robinson was shot and killed by a white police officer Mark Kenny. It is believed that Mr. Robinson was high on some kind of substance as he had assaulted people and had been acting erratically, the prosecutor said.
Officer Kenny will not be facing charges says Dane County DA Ismael Ozanne. Kenny shot Robinson on March 6th as he was responding to calls that the young man was running in oncoming traffic and had assaulted two people. In pursuit, Kenny was attacked when he entered the apartment house where the suspect had gone into.
The incident was described by Ozanne where he cited three 911 callers whose accounts agreed with the police. The callers described Robinson punching a friend, jumping in front of a car, punching a person in the face who was calling 911 and then assaulting two people on the sidewalk. According to Ozanne, one caller feared for his safety and Robinson's.
When Officer Kenny arrived at the apartment building, he heard incoherent screaming and a sound like a fist was hitting something as items were being thrown or breaking. Kenny believed that Robinson might be in the midst of attacking someone, said Ozanne.
Kenny ran upstairs to the turmoil, his weapon drawn and he announced his presence. He was almost immediately punched in the head by Robinson and Kenny fell back on the stairs and fearing for his life and the other individual's he believed was inside the apartment if Robinson grabbed his weapon, so he fired 7 shots in the span of 3 seconds hitting Robinson and mortally wounding him.
When the paramedics arrived, Kenny was giving Robinson CPR, trying to save his life.
Ozanne, who is also biracial and identifies as black, concluded that the death of Robinson was unfortunate but was the result of a lawful use of deadly police force.
Before making his announcement, Ozanne said, "I am the son of a black woman who still worries about my safety. I am a man who understands the pain of unjustified profiling and I am the first district attorney of color not only in Dane County but in the state of Wisconsin."
Ozanne concluded with a plea against violent demonstrations stating that "truth and lasting change does not come from violence, but from exercising our voices and our votes."
Robinson's mother, Andrea Irwin, was not surprised by the decision and said the investigation wasn't thorough enough. (Is it ever thorough enough for a grieving mother who just lost her son to violence?)
"They could have done a lot. What they didn't do was give my son any respect," she said.
I'm not certain what she meant by giving him respect. It appears that had he given respect to the laws of Wisconsin and to the officer whose job it is to have confronted him, he would be alive today.
So the new National Past Time kicked in: the city's black community had daily rallies after the shooting that lasted for a week. They wanted Officer Kenny to be fired and charged with homicide.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice investigated the shooting and, as required by state law, turned it over the investigation to an outside agency, which was given to Ozanne on March 27.
It seems like it doesn't matter who investigates police shootings. The black community (led by cretins like Al Sharpton) wants blood. Cops are becoming hesitant to respond to black crime and ironically, most black crime is committed against other blacks.
The alternative these anarchists and progressives seem to be seeking is to have our cities in lawless turmoil. Where the police forces fold up and go away because the cops can't do their job.
And we have a president who still points his finger at the cops, not the broken families without a father in the home.

FoxNews.com said that this shooting "was another in a series of police confrontations that have ignited racial tensions across the nation in the past year . . ."
I don't believe it's police confrontations that are igniting anything. I believe it's leftist anarchists who will use any excuse they can to riot, get free stuff, maybe get on TV and tell a reporter to go F himself. Maybe it's just a bunch of guys out for a walk--wait, that's Hillary's line.
