No charges for ex-Milwaukee police officer in shooting death of a black man
Quote:
A white former Milwaukee police officer who fatally shot a black man in a city park won’t be charged in the April 30 death
Officer Christopher Manney was justified when he shot Dontre Hamilton 14 times during a physical struggle in which Hamilton grabbed Manney’s baton.
Manney was fired from the police force in October for not following the department’s procedures for dealing with the mentally ill 31-year-old during the incident
Sigh. He was schizophrenic. I saw the immediate aftermath as I work in a building right next to Red Arrow. That cop was not even close to the suspect when he went down, I'll say that much. I didn't see the struggle beforehand, just right after he fired the shots. I also noticed how long it took for the cops that came on the scene to give him CPR. And yes, I believe 14 shots is overkill. However, I knew the DA wasn't going to charge him & thankfully, our protestors here have been respectful enough that they're not freaking out or looting. Just a relatively small group of people yesterday who walked from the courthouse down Water St. The cops closed off a part of Water St, that's about all that happened. No protests as of yet today.
Do you look up at the sky while crossing busy streets to make sure a meteor doesn't hit you?
The reason I ask is because a black man is in much greater peril of being killed by another black man than by a police officer.
I'll have to get back to you on that one. Right now I'm waiting for my white media overlords to tell me whether or not I should be outraged by this incident or not. See, we are kind of laying low now that all our bluster has killed two other minorities (ahhh who am I kidding they were in a police uniform right?) in New York. The game is paused right now...but be on the lookout for a post from Taneshi Coates or Leonard Pitts and all the self hating white women will retweet and some white academic will then bless with an article using the words "institutionalized", "jim crow", "racism", "republican", "conservative", "black baby bodies", "privilege"...then it's back on cuz!
What??? He shot him 14 (!!!) TIMES! What kind of fear might make you shoot 14 times in a man, even if he mentally ill?
So, let's riot, break into stores, loot, pillage, set fires ...! Isn't that what you people think the answer is? And because of Obama, Holder, Sharpton (the charlatan) et al stoking the flames of racism (AND THREADS LIKE THIS ONE), two NYC PD officers were executed last week.
All of you who engage in this race baiting, and fanning the flames of racism, have blood on your hands.
