Wisconsin officer's family supports protests

MADISON - The sister of a white Madison Police officer who shot and killed an unarmed biracial man says his family supports what she called the ``impulse'' to protest the shooting.

Matt Kenny shot 19-year-old Tony Robinson in an apartment house on March 6 after responding to calls that Robinson had attacked two people and was running in traffic. The incident has spurred the city's black community to mount multiple protests. Some demonstrators have called for Kenny to be charged with homicide but the rallies have been peaceful thus far.
