Excessive Force in Madison: A Pattern of Unchecked Police Power The recent killing of Corey Ruiz by Madison police has sparked outrage and calls for accountability from his family and civil rights activists.
The issue, however, runs far deeper than a single incident or even a department's policies. Madison's lack of body worn cameras has allowed a disturbing pattern to emerge.
At a news conference marked by tears and outrage, Corey Ruiz's mother, Elsa Ruiz, described her son as an exceptional man who loved his daughter and family.
