Dontre Hamilton (et Rumain Brisbon, Eric Garner, Michaël Brown…)
Milwaukee cop shot mentally-ill black man from above and behind, 14 times
Earlier this year, then-Officer Christopher Manney had confronted 31-year-old Dontre Hamilton for sleeping in a park, even though other officers had determined that Hamilton had done nothing wrong. Police said at the time that the confrontation escalated into a struggle when Hamilton grabbed Manney’s baton and began hitting the officer with it.
Police Chief Edward Flynn fired Manney for ignoring department rules about dealing with emotionally disturbed people, but refused to prosecute the officer for “making mistakes” after he shot Hamilton 14 times.
