Ex-officer not charged in fatal Milwaukee shooting
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A white Milwaukee police officer who was fired after he fatally shot a mentally ill black man in April won't face criminal charges, the county's top prosecutor said Monday.
Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm said Christopher Manney won't be charged because he shot Dontre Hamilton in self-defense. Manney is at least the third white police officer to avoid charges in the past month after a confrontation that led to a black man's death.
"Based on all the evidence and analysis presented in this report, I come to the conclusion that Officer Manney's use of force in this incident was justified self-defense and that defense cannot be reasonably overcome to establish a basis to charge Officer Manney with a crime," Chisholm said in a statement.
The Hamilton family reacted with disappointment and anger, immediately asking the U.S. attorney in Milwaukee to seek a federal investigation. At a chaotic news conference on the steps of the federal courthouse, two attorneys for the family urged that protests be peaceful "so as not to dishonor Dontre's name and the Hamilton family name."

I guess nobody got the message what Al Sharpton said. Will they ever learn? Blacks are going continue to riot and kill cops until cops get arrested just like any other person when they commit crimes. What about that Montana man who was protecting his family when that intruder went into his garage who went to prison and Cops don't ever go to court and face the judge?
