There will be no charges brought against Matt Kenny, the officer responsible for shooting 19-year-old Tony Robinson. District Attorney Ismael Ozanne said that he believed the shooting was justified. Robinson’s family told a local news station that they are determining what further legal action to take. Local activist group, the Young, Gifted and Black Coalition, has called for a Blackout Wednesday to protest the lack of charges.
