"Protesters in Madison" are "asking high school students to again leave class to attend Wednesday afternoon's rally" about "over the fatal shooting of an unarmed biracial man by a white police officer."

According to a very brief article at Channel3000, a local press outlet.

I think it's terrible for students to skip school to go to a protest, and whoever is advocating this deserves condemnation. But who, specifically, is calling on students to put protest above education and respect for rules? I need some names. It's not fair to attribute this bad behavior to all of the protesters.

Somewhere, a decision was made to begin referring to the dead 19-year-old (Tony Robinson) as a "biracial man." Perhaps that's how Robinson self-identified or what his family has requested.

Channel3000 also has an article titled "Network journalists say Madison is not Ferguson":

"I�ve been impressed here by the way everyone�s worked together: the police, the police union. And, of course, the family of the man who was killed,� CBS News field producer Mark Hooper said. �All asking for calm. All saying they trust the police department. Everybody working together to keep things calm.�

�One of the things I saw in Madison was older African American males sitting down with younger African American males. And they shared their experiences and fears, and hopes, in order to have a conversation for how they could go forward and how they can take action,� CBS News associate producer Ryan Corsaro said. �And I think that helped the situation to remain calm.�...

�When it came to the (Ferguson) protest side and the police side, things escalated very quickly. And things continued to do so night after night after night,� Corsaro said. �Here in Madison we didn't see the type of fervent anger with uncontrolled crowds. We still had crowds in Madison that were loud and fervent, but they weren't committing any acts of violence or theft or destruction of property.�
