Not a beating but look at this
New video provided to BuzzFeed News shows family members and legal counsel struggling to gain access to two young men who were taken in for police questioning shortly after Tony Robinson was shot and killed by a Madison, Wisconsin police officer.
Robinson, 19, was shot and killed by Madison Police Officer Matt Kenny on Friday night, March, 6, inside a house. He was unarmed. Kenny, a 12-year veteran of the MPD has been placed on unpaid administrative leave during the investigation.
Anthony and Javier Limon, friends of Robinson, live at the home where Robinson was shot. Neither of the two brothers were inside the residence during the deadly shooting, witnesses told BuzzFeed News.
After the shooting the two brothers were driven to the Central Station of the Madison Police Department in a police car and questioned for hours without an attorney, according to Craig Spaulding, who told BuzzFeed News that he is like a “surrogate dad” to the two boys.
Spaulding added that as they were being driven away, Anthony Limon yelled to him that he wanted a lawyer brought to the station.
“I said, ‘don’t say a word, we’re going to get you an attorney, don’t say anything,’” Spaulding said. “Anthony said, ‘Alright, alright, I’m OK. Get me an attorney.’”
