A police briefing in Madison, Wisconsin, was disrupted after a protester took over the microphone to condemn the city and criticise the police following the fatal shooting of Corey Ruiz. The confrontation highlights the heightened public anger and scrutiny that can follow police use of lethal force, particularly when official accounts are still emerging.

Madison Police Chief John Patterson reportedly stepped aside and allowed the protester to speak during Thursday’s update. Police said Ruiz had been armed with a knife, while the protester described Madison as a “corrupt city” during an anti-police outburst.
