On a Wednesday afternoon in Madison, Wisconsin, a police officer shot and killed a man in his 30s during a struggle that began with reports of vehicle break-ins and ended with a knife wound, a deployed taser that failed, and three gunshots on a street lined with restaurants near the state Capitol. The incident unfolded on the same block where a 2015 police shooting of a Black man once drew the city into prolonged grief and protest, and that history now shadows every question being asked about what happened and why. Community advocates say the man killed was Black; police have confirmed little
