The man who was killed by police in Madison, Wisconsin, a shocking caught-on-camera shooting — sparking protests — was a violent ex-con with a lengthy record, including for assaulting cops, The Post can reveal.
Corey Durrell Ruiz, 38, was identified by local officials and his family in social media posts.
State Rep. Shelia Stubbs, a Democrat, said Ruiz “should still be alive.” Brandi Grayson, the head of the Madison-based black community advocacy group Urban Triage, decried the shooting as, “Another black man is dead on a Madison street.”
Protesters have flooded the streets of Madison, Wisconsin, where the shooting happened and local black activists have seized on the killing.
But court and prison records show that Ruiz was not black, had only recently been released from prison, and had knifed a cop moments before he was fatally shot.
Ruiz was identified as non-black Hispanic in his prison booking records — despite activists and protestors comparing his death to the 2020 murder of George Floyd. Online court records show at least 25 criminal cases dating back to 2007. In 2021, he was convicted with battery of a law enforcement officer, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting a law enfrorcement officer and retail theft in 2025. ***

Uh huh.
“a shocking caught-on-camera shooting”
Shocking? I think it’s erotic!
“State Rep. Shelia Stubbs, a Democrat, said Ruiz “should still be alive...”
But you shouldn’t.
When I first saw that in the article I misread it as "Sheila Jackson Lee."
I still don't miss Sheila Jackson Lee.
It’s heart-warming that “black community advocacy groups” are so concerned about a NOT BLACK, definitely WHITE criminal.
“Wisconsin Knifeman” sounds like a Glen Campbell song.
So he’s just like George Zimmerman.
I worked with a guy who was from the Dominican Republic , who would swear at anyone who said he was black. He looked black, acted black. He claimed since he spoke Spanish that was proof he wasn’t black.
I asked him how speaking French helped the Haitians, everyone agrees that they are black.
Or as the apologist would say "a black man."
Oh, sorry I mentioned his priors. "Like a rash all over the police computers."-- The Blues Brothers.
Very good! Your mind works just like mine.
Look at all the discord caused by the Tower of Babel.
If they can turn Kamala black they can do the same to this guy.
Great news!
Dominican Republic , who would swear at anyone who said he was black.
I took the liberty of writing the first verse for you...
Wisconsin Knifeman (with apologies to Glen Campbell)
[Verse 1]
I am a knifeman for the dairy
And I slice cheese cheddar gold
Remeberin' the girl who sliced cheese blue with mold
Another hero to the Left.
If one stabs a policeman in the process of being detained, there exists a 99.9% probability of being shot by the officer. One’s color, ethnicity, educational background, IQ level or lack thereof, etc. do NOT matter.
“State Rep. Shelia Stubbs, a Democrat, said Ruiz ‘should still be alive.’ Brandi Grayson, the head of the Madison-based black community advocacy group Urban Triage, decried the shooting as, ‘Another black man is dead on a Madison street.’”
Brandi Grayson is a long-time hardcore BLM and DSA activist. She has worked closely with Alix Shabazz of FRSO, BLM’s Maoist parent organization. Stubbs is the daughter of a Madison NAACP leader.

Madison Democratic Socialists of America April 14 2021.
Madison Area Democratic Socialists of America (MADSA) extends its gratitude to all of our endorsed candidates for running in the 2021 spring election. Each candidate earned our endorsement by demonstrating their desire to fight for working people and the oppressed.
We are excited to celebrate the electoral victories of Ben Heili, Yannette Figueroa Cole, Nikki Conklin, and Brian Benford. We look forward to working towards a better Madison with each of these alders, a Madison in which all people have a right to live free from racist oppression, a right to housing and to drink water free from pollution, and a right to healthcare and economic stability. A better world is possible through sustained and empowered social movements and we are glad to have each of these alders working in solidarity with us.
We are disappointed by the losses of Rebecca Kemble, Tessa Echeverria, Brandi Grayson, Ayomi Obuseh, and Benji Ramirez. Each of these candidates demonstrated courage in running on platforms that centered the needs of oppressed and marginalized Madisonians. While these candidates may have lost their elections, they have all been successful in engaging our community in the work of social and economic justice.

The knifing was caught on camera, too, but headlines are for closers.
