“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.
