In the US, police shot and killed a young black man, this Friday night at Madison in Wisconsin. The police officer broke into the apartment where the young man was located after being alerted to suspicious noises.
There would have been a fight, and it was at that time that the fatal shot was fired. The young man, aged 19, was apparently unarmed.
This drama immediately sparked angry demonstrations in Madison.
This comes two days after the publication of a report denouncing discrimination practiced against blacks by Ferguson font. In this city of Missouri, a white police officer killed an unarmed young Black in August 2014.
