I conclude 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 kinney in the death of Tony Robinson, junior.

Activists are also calling on madison to address Racial Disparities in incarceration rates. A 2013 race to equity report found africanamericans in madisons dane county made up less than 9 of the youth population, but nearly 80 of those incarcerated in juvenile prison. Amy well, for more, we go now to madison, wisconsin where were joined by m adams. She is a madisonbased activist and organizer with the young gifted and black coalition and freedom inc. M adams, welcome to democracy now can you talk about the announcement yesterday . The da saying he will not bring charges against officer kinney . So none of us were surprised that the da decided to not bring criminal charges against matt kenny for murdering Tony Robinson. We do know this is part of an historical pattern and historical use of Structural Racism with them Police Departments that justify the murdering of young black people, particularly unarmed black people. As a result, we understand that any transformational transformational change needs to happen in order to ultimately create justice and event Police Murderers from happening in the future. Juan what you say to those w claim 20 robinson was violent and posed a risk . We know the violence was the seven shots that killed him. One, we dont know what happened in the house. We have one side of the story. And two, if it was you or i or any other person who went into somebodys house and we said maybe there was a fight and as a result, we had shot that person seven times, we as untrained people, as unarmed people, we as people without a law on our side, peop without an entire police force and culture that will back us, we would be told that that was excessive and that the level of violence that we used it not match for what the actual threat was. And so Police Actually have far more training, for more weapons, far more resources and an entire force that backs them up. And the law has some of the other things on its side. So they are far more trained. We expected them to behave far better and to a higher standard than you or i would be held to. So if you and i would be told that was murder, then it definitely is murder from a Police Officer. Amy i want to go back to the dane County District attorney ozannes press conference. Before nothing would not bring charges before the officer the da spoke about his own identity as the first africanamerican District Attorney in wisconsins history. I am a man who understands the pain of unjustified profiling, and im the first District Attorney of color not only in dane county, but the state of wisconsin. I make note of this because it is through this lens that i approach and except my leadership responsibilities. Those responsibilities involve an oath i took to uphold the constitution of the United States of america and the constitution of the state of wisconsin. In this matter, my role in obligation is to weigh the facts and determine if officer kenny should be criminally charged. I am cognizant of the very real Racial Disparities and equity issues which exist in this county. Amy that is dane County District attorney ozanne. M, can you talk about your response to what the District Attorney said . And also, m adams, if you could talk about what you understand happened on march 6, the day that Tony Robinson was killed . On march 6, 20 robinsons friends called the police to get help for Tony Robinson because they thought he was behaving in a way that war source so the police were called. There were notified that, look, my friend is having a hard time maybe he took something. The police show up. And within seconds or within minutes of the police showing up, Tony Robinson was murdered or rather he was assassinated by the Police Department. So our reaction to hearing the da talk about this is not legally being murder, we are absolutely opposed to this. This is absolutely murder. There are two things we should understand. One, if the police are being called for help because someone is experiencing a Mental Wellness issue, we should expect the people who are called for help would not show up until the person who is experiencing the Mental Wellness challenge. In two, i understand the da is talking about laws, but the laws here are actually immoral. What we also know to be true is that when white people and white unarmed people are killed once every 28 hours, which is the rate at which black people are killed by the police or vigilantes who are acting as the police, we know that the laws would be interpreted different. Moreover, we with you change in legislation. This shows not only are the police unjust and not only is the das office but also the legal system as a whole, which includes the law, are part of the system of Structural Racism and bias. Juan m adams, youre wearing a freedom 350 tshirt. What is that campaign . If there was no Structural Racism within the jail system of the criminal Justice System that you could expect that the jail population would near or match the population of the county or the city or wherever that jail is based. In dane county, theres roughly 5 black population. So we should expect that the county jail should be roughly 5 black. Instead, the countys jail population is roughly 50 black. So at any given time, there are about 800 folks incarcerated and close to 400 are black. The only way we will end the racial disparity, the only way we will end the disproportionate amount of black people incarcerated is to immediately release 350 black people who we know are incarcerated due to poverty, to bring the gel population of black folks down to 50 instead of keeping it at 400. We either have to free the 350 to end the racial despair to or lock up close to 6000 white people. Which were not advocating for, the 6000 sounds like a really big number to the city, but that is how big of an impact 350 are to our community. Were advocating further release. Amy report from nonprussia to Profit Initiative found africanamerican youth and day in county are more than six times as likely to be arrested as white youth in 2010, far higher blackwhite disparity than the entire state and country. The report also found local africanamerican youth make up nearly 80 of children sentenced to wisconsins juvenile correctional facility, even though they comprise only 9 of the countys youth population. And according to a parliamentary analysis
