MSM leaves out MAJOR details about black teen shot by police officer

MSM leaves out MAJOR details about black teen shot by police officer
There are three things in life that are guaranteed certainties: death, taxes, and every cop who shoots a black teenager will automatically be labeled a racist by the media.

Just about every time an incident occurs, evidence usually points to the fact the police officer was violently attacked by the thug, which is what led to their untimely demise.

Here’s a good case in point.

A black Wisconsin teenager–who turned out to be convicted of armed robbery–violently attacks a police officer, leaving the officer no choice but to use lethal force.

Is that the story mainstream media reports?

Of course not.

From Legal Insurrection:

Let’s take a look at  how NBC covered this shooting in a post headlined: Black Teen Tony Robinson Shot Dead by Cop in Madison, Wisconsin, Was Unarmed. First, their lede:

The 19-year-old black man who was shot dead Friday during a confrontation with a police officer in Madison, Wisconsin, was unarmed, police said Saturday.

A “confrontation,” eh? 
How wonderfully passive.  
Zero indication of whether this confrontation might have been the responsibility of the black man or the police, except for the observation that the black man was unarmed–so, right in the first sentence they’ve established the ” cop shoots unarmed black teenager” narrative with which we’ve grown so tiresomely familiar.

Within hours of the incident, the family gets an official spokesman, and as you can probably guess, there were protests and sit-ins at Madison City Hall.

NBC then refers to a previous incident Officer Matt Kenny–the individual who shot Tony Robinson–was involved in where he shot and killed a man in what was later to be determined to be a “suicide-by-cop” situation.

He was cleared of any wrongdoing, but of course, the MSM brings this incident up because they’re doing their best to put together a narrative that paints this cop as a violent, crazed, homicidal, racist maniac.

Oh, it gets better.

NBC then goes on to include quotes from the family which seem to paint Robinson as a darling little angel incapable of doing wrong.

Sharon Irwin, Robins’s grandmother:   “He was a beautiful, beautiful soul and everybody that knew him knew that.”

Robinson’s aunt, Lorien Carter: “This is the type of child that you wanted to have in your life because he made it better.”

Conveniently, NBC left out a bunch of details that give context to Kenny’s decision to use lethal force against Robinson.

First off, Robinson wasn’t even remotely close to being the perfect angel he was made out to be in the piece.

In fact, he was a convicted armed robber.

So, what do we find in The Smoking Gun post that was left absent from the NBC piece?  
As we did with the NBC piece, let’s start with the lede:

The unarmed Wisconsin teenager who was shot to death last night during a confrontation with a Madison cop pleaded guilty last year to armed robbery and recently began serving a three-year probation term for that felony conviction, court records show.

Oh and they left out this teeny tiny little detail about Robinson bashing Kenny in the head, knocking him to the ground, and engaging in a struggle. 
I mean, seriously, this isn’t THAT important of a detail, right?

According to police, an officer responded Friday to a 911 call about a man who had assaulted a victim and was dodging cars in traffic. 
The cop followed the suspect into a nearby apartment, where the man allegedly struck the officer in the head, knocking him to the ground. 
During an ensuing struggle, patrolman Matt Kenny fatally shot the suspect...
