       “Unarmed black teenager” in Wisconsin shooting was robbery
       convict who violently attacked officer
       There are three things in life that are guaranteed certainties:
       death, taxes, and every cop who shoots a black teenager will
       automatically be labeled a racist by the media.
       Just about every time an incident occurs, evidence usually
       points to the fact the police officer was violently attacked by
       the thug, which is what led to their untimely demise.
       Here’s a good case in point.
       A black Wisconsin teenager–who turned out to be convicted of
       armed robbery–violently attacks a police officer, leaving the
       officer no choice but to use lethal force.
       Is that the story mainstream media reports?
       Of course not.
       From Legal Insurrection:
       Let’s take a look at  how NBC covered this shooting in a post
       headlined: Black Teen Tony Robinson Shot Dead by Cop in Madison,
       Wisconsin, Was Unarmed. First, their lede:
       The 19-year-old black man who was shot dead Friday during a
       confrontation with a police officer in Madison, Wisconsin, was
       unarmed, police said Saturday.
       A “confrontation,” eh? How wonderfully passive.  Zero indication
       of whether this confrontation might have been the responsibility
       of the black man or the police, except for the observation that
       the black man was unarmed–so, right in the first sentence
       they’ve established the ” cop shoots unarmed black teenager”
       narrative with which we’ve grown so tiresomely familiar.
       Within hours of the incident, the family gets an official
       spokesman, and as you can probably guess, there were protests
       and sit-ins at Madison City Hall.
       NBC then refers to a previous incident Officer Matt Kenny–the
       individual who shot Tony Robinson–was involved in where he shot
       and killed a man in what was later to be determined to be a
       “suicide-by-cop” situation.
       He was cleared of any wrongdoing, but of course, the MSM brings
       this incident up because they’re doing their best to put
       together a narrative that paints this cop as a violent, crazed,
       homicidal, racist maniac.
       Oh, it gets better.
       NBC then goes on to include quotes from the family which seem to
       paint Robinson as a darling little angel incapable of doing
       wrong.
       Sharon Irwin, Robins’s grandmother:   “He was a beautiful,
       beautiful soul and everybody that knew him knew that.”
       Robinson’s aunt, Lorien Carter: “This is the type of child that
       you wanted to have in your life because he made it better.”
       Conveniently, NBC left out a bunch of details that give context
       to Kenny’s decision to use lethal force against Robinson.
       First off, Robinson wasn’t even remotely close to being the
       perfect angel he was made out to be in the piece.
       In fact, he was a convicted armed robber.
       So, what do we find in The Smoking Gun post that was left absent
       from the NBC piece?  As we did with the NBC piece, let’s start
       with the lede:
       The unarmed Wisconsin teenager who was shot to death last night
       during a confrontation with a Madison cop pleaded guilty last
       year to armed robbery and recently began serving a three-year
       probation term for that felony conviction, court records show.
       Oh and they left out this teeny tiny little detail about
       Robinson bashing Kenny in the head, knocking him to the ground,
       and engaging in a struggle. I mean, seriously, this isn’t THAT
       important of a detail, right?
       According to police, an officer responded Friday to a 911 call
       about a man who had assaulted a victim and was dodging cars in
       traffic. The cop followed the suspect into a nearby apartment,
       where the man allegedly struck the officer in the head, knocking
       him to the ground. During an ensuing struggle, patrolman Matt
       Kenny fatally shot the suspect.
       Stuff like this is solid proof the mainstream media has
       abandoned journalistic integrity in favor of being the
       government’s cute and cuddly lapdog–there are other terms, but
       they’re highly inappropriate so I won’t use them–pushing their
       agenda instead of pursuing the facts.
       This is why it’s critical to do your own digging for the facts,
       because chances are, major news outlets aren’t telling you
       everything you need to know in order to draw a well informed
       conclusion on a matter.
       Maybe, just maybe, one day we’ll see major news organizations
       return to the pursuit of truth, following the trail of facts
       wherever they lead.
