The family of a Milwaukee man who was fatally shot by a city police officer say they aren't giving up hope that the officer will be charged.
Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm announced Monday that former Officer Christopher Manney, who is white, acted in self-defense when he killed Donte Hamilton, who was black. But later in the day, U.S. Attorney James Santelle announced that the Department of Justice, his office and the FBI will review whether Manney violated federal civil rights laws....

Several witnesses told police they saw Hamilton holding Manney's baton aggressively before Manney shot him 14 times, according to Chisholm's report. Police said they have no video of the incident, but Chisholm's report said Manney suffered minor injuries, including a bite to his right thumb, a neck strain and a neck contusion. He was treated for post-concussion syndromes, a mild traumatic brain injury and had physical therapy for bicep and rotator cuff injuries.
Mentally ill guy ASSAULTS a cop, and the COP is fired?
Ugh.
It seems that if the “civilian” is darker than a certain shade, he’s supposed to be given a pass.
Hmmm. Let’s see. Do you think Manney was in fear for his life with some assclown who didn’t want to go to the hoosegow took away his baton and started wailing on him with it? Nah, it could only cause minor injuries. Right? Oh well. Christmas is only 2 days away so I suppose it’s time for some Christmas looting Milwaukee style. (Just another reason cops should be limited to 10rd mags. NOT!) Merry Christmas SoFloFreeper from Reno. May get a white Christmas according to the forecast. Of course if I count on that it’ll be sunny and 85. :>}
I don’t really have a comment that means much except that “yes, 14 shots would do it.” I guess if you have to make the commitment, commit big and sure.
Yep. And yet another example of why I’m trying desperately to talk my oldest son out of going into law enforcement ...... there is just zero respect for any law enforcement at any level these days.
Milwaukeestan is already in a dither over this. Our Governor has the National Guard at the ready.
Milwaukeestan is run by uber-Liberal Mayor Tom Barrett, a challenger to Governor Walker during our Recall Election. Two-Time LOSER.
Mayor Barrett is going to end up ‘DeBlasio-ed’ over this, if things get out of hand.
Again, I ask - WHY are all of these staged protests of civil unrest happening in BLUE areas of our states and BLUE run cities, I wonder?
Densely populated with Useful Idiots, maybe? ;)
Is EVERY cop/thug case, if it’s white on black, going to be micro-managed in this way from here on out? Will it stop when enough cops are killed?
What’s the end goal here? (Rhetorical; there never IS an end to Libs and their destruction of American Society!)
Why are they populated where they are? It’s because the minority in question is 13% of the population. They can’t be everywhere - their power over the media would be diminished then.
The DA (same one that guy deep into Scott Walker.....twice) did a nice job of explaining his reasons for not bringing charges against the police officer. Milwaukee had race riots in the 60s, but they never reached into areas of the city where you might see looting or desctruction of anything other than their own property. This time I fear they may move into predominantly white areas to demonstrate. Let's hope it remains non-violent.
Well like that sheriff in Florida said after a deputy and been killed and the killer found and shot to the question: why did they shoot the killer something like 63 times. Answer: because that was all the bullets they had.
You’ll find, if this is true, that the police will just stay away from black areas and be done with it.
“Mentally ill guy ASSAULTS a cop, and the COP is fired?”
He was fired for doing his job except the Police chief has orders not frisk the mentally ill. Apparently the dude didn’t show the cop his mentally ill get out of jail card.
We've been watching this, here and elsewhere, and the answer is plain: to usher in the "coming future time", the Socialist utopia as we see in Venezuela, Cuber, and the late great Soviet Russia.
And the feral blacks waiting inside the urban kraals will be the shock troops.
I don’t have a problem with numbers necessarily. Like I said when you ‘commit,’ commit big. Overwhelming firepower has long been a tenet of warfare (Yes, it IS warfare now in this country.
My only question in a circumstance like this is one of marksmanship and why it took that many....
Hi Diana, I believe the endgame is destabilization of our country, followed by martial law, confiscation of firearms, and either attack by a foreign power or a ‘bloodless coup’ by the evil administration currently in power.
The new rules for the National Police Force will require that any interaction between police and Negroes must be monoracial. Non Negro police may not speak to, arrest, or otherwise interract with Black people at all. Any violation will result in criminal charges against the white police officer based on Informations provided by the Federal Oversight of Police Board. The offending officer will lose his job immediately pending trial before a judge and selected all black jury.
I don’t get it. The officer is fired for doing his job????? The disturbed nutcase was trying to murder the officer. I say he did society a favor. Have a Merry Christmas!
A conciliatory gesture to the local natives is my bet.
In cities and states run by non Progressives the reactions against riot and pillage and murder are a bit more rational and quick.
“Milwaukee had race riots in the 60s”
I lived on the corner of 13th and State. We had a Guard jeep outside our door, with a mounted machine gun! Louie stuck his head out the door to ask a question, and was thrown in jail!
