Chief of Police Koval says in a letter that the collective silence of the council is deafening.

"The Wisconsin State Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1BZDewb ) the letter follows a Tuesday council meeting at which citizens weighed in harshly on the March 6 shooting death of Tony Robinson, an unarmed black 19-year-old, by Officer Matt Kenny, who is white.

Koval says his letter reflected frustration not just with the format of Tuesday’s meeting, which he called “a kangaroo court,” but with a general lack of support from the council.

The officer was responding to reports of Robinson running in traffic and battering people. Police say Robinson punched Kenny in the head before Kenny shot him."
