before Ruiz's killing last month, Madison had been rocked by 2 police killings during what were likely mental health crises: of Paul Heenan, a white 30-year-old, in 2012, and of 19-year-old Tony Robinson, who was biracial and shot dead by police in 2015 on the same Madison street as Ruiz.

early national coverage of Corey Ruiz's killing laser-focused on Madison being Wisconsin's only big city to not use body cams, a national standard established after Mike Brown's murder. police now love body cams: depts have near-total discretion over footage. but they don't prevent violence.
