An officer deployed a taser,0:24which failed, then fired three shots.0:27The man was killed at the scene. The0:29officer who fired was also injured by0:30the knife during the struggle. Four0:32officers were involved in total and all0:34have been placed on paid administrative0:36leave within hours. Hundreds of0:38protesters gathered at the scene and0:39marched to the Wisconsin State Capitol.0:41The Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra was0:43forced to cancel its concert on the0:44square after protesters took the stage.0:47Demonstrators could be heard demanding0:49accountability and justice as they made0:51their way through downtown. Here is the0:53central question driving this story.0:55There's no body camera footage of what0:57happened because Madison police officers0:59do not wear them. The city council voted1:01down a budget amendment in November of1:03last year 17 to 3 that would have funded1:05body cameras for frontline officers. So,1:07when this officer fired those three1:08shots, there was no camera on his1:10uniform to capture it. Police Chief John1:12Patterson acknowledged the knife1:13severely limited the officers' response1:15options, but offered sympathies to the1:17family.1:18Interim independent police monitor Mika1:20Glass walked out of Patterson's press1:22conference. Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway1:24said she was angered and saddened and1:27questioned the decisions that led to the1:28escalation. Governor Tony Evers called1:31for transparency and accountability in1:33the investigation now underway. This1:35shooting happened less than two blocks1:37from where Madison police fatally shot1:38Tony Robinson Jr. in 2015, a death that1:42sparked its own wave of protests and a1:44federal investigation. For many in this1:46community, Tuesday felt like a painful1:48replay. The Wisconsin Department of1:50Justice Division of Criminal1:51Investigation is now handling an1:53independent probe. All four officers1:55remain on paid leave. No charges have1:57been filed, and the name of the officer1:59who fired has not been released.مضمون پڑھیںخبر کی زمانی ترتیبHeyDexمختصر ویڈیو ↗
