Announcement that the announcement about the police shooting of Tony Robinson will happen on Tuesday.

As promised, we're being notified in advance:
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne said Sunday he will announce on Tuesday whether a Madison police officer will face criminal charges for fatally shooting 19-year-old Tony Robinson on March 6....

�Given the history, we don�t anticipate District Attorney Ismael Ozanne to charge or to find that there�s probable cause to charge the officer with violating criminal statute. Just like everyone else, we�re just waiting for full disclosure of what happened in those few seconds,� [said Everett Mitchell, of the Young, Gifted and Black Coalition].

In a statement released Sunday, [police spokesman Joel] DeSpain said that police would help facilitate safe movement of people in the event of demonstrations. �It is our belief that Madison can endure without being fractured.�
