Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke requested National Guard support in anticipation of protests following the announcement. The request comes after protesters blocked traffic on Interstate 43 on Friday, leading to the arrest of 74 people.
anney was fired by Milwaukee police Chief Edward Flynn in October, not because of his actions in the shooting but rather for failing to follow department rules in the moments leading up to the altercation, resulting in a struggle that left deadly force as the officer's only option.
I am sure you do. :dohfailing to follow department rules
IMO, that's enough for an indictment right there.
I am sure you do. :doh
Failing to follow department rules may be reason for termination.
But it is not a reason to find the actions illegal and therefore cause an indictment.

When the justice system fails, and all else fails, call in the bigger guns, the National Guard to back up the police departments whose police force uses excessive force, nice going.:roll:
IMO, that's enough for an indictment right there.
No, it's not.
But it is a place to begin a discussion.
It can be something like the felony murder rule.
The felony murder rule says that when an offender kills accidentally or without specific intent to kill in the commission of a felony, the offender can be charged with murder.
A similar rule could be applied to police officers.
If a police officer kills consequent to a behavior or action that is forbidden by department rules or policy that officer must be charged with murder.
Something like that.
But absent such mandatory accountability you can't hold an officer accountable.
The violation of police procedure was to frisk a "crazy" person, which is not a felony.
You really have no point.Μολὼν λαβέ;1064120933 said:Not following rules that left deadly force as his only option?
Had he followed the rules the man probably wouldn't be dead now, correct?
In other words the cop placed himself in the position where his only act of self-preservation was to use deadly force.
Perks of the job.

I'm not saying that what the cop did was a felony.
I'm using the felony murder rule as an example of an "if A, then B is automatic" legal principal.

Are you saying that a policeman (or anyone, for that matter) must simply take a severe beating (or worse) simply because they initially made a procedural error? Does your right of self defense vanish if you made a mistake?
If a robber takes a gun with him, during the commission of a robbery, he intended to shoot someone.
You have solid evidence for this?
Or you can read minds?
Or what?
I'm saying that that's worth discussing.
A robber doesn't have a right to self defense. There's a fact for you.
Perhaps not while in the commission of a crime. And perhaps not from his victim or law enforcement officials.
But I would imagine that on his way to the place of the crime, and on the way home, he has as much right to defend himself from another criminal as you or I do.
Please don't interrupt the leftist narrative with facts... Clearly this is another instance of a college-bound, gentle black man being gunned down by a racist cop.To the OP...
This is taken from the article you cited...
Attorney John T. Chisholm said that former Milwaukee police officer Christopher Manney "was justified in firing at Dontre Hamilton" because Hamilton had taken Manney's baton while the officer was responding to a complaint about a man sleeping in a public park, and the Manney was attempting to "stop the threat."
In a statement, Chisholm said "the more difficult issue" is determining whether Manney — who shot Hamilton at least 13 times — fired more shots than he needed to in order to subdue Hamilton. But many witnesses testified that Manney stopped firing when Hamilton fell to the ground, prompting Chisholm to rule that the numerous shots were a "defensive action forced upon him by Dontre Hamilton's deadly attack with a police baton."
So...the question is...based on the article you provided...do you believe Dontre Hamilton took the officers baton? Simple question...right?
:lamoIn response to someone on ignore;
:lamo
Why in the world does someone ignore those who they really are not going to ignore?
D'oh! :doh
In response to someone on ignore;
lemme' see, a cop walks up to a man sleeping in a park, who has a mental disability, get's nasty with the man, they argue for a minute, the cop pulls out his stick and takes a swing at the citizen, the citizen is struck with the stick, the man takes the stick away from the cops and begins using it on the cop,
yeah, I can see how an overzealous cop might want to pump 14 shots into someone, the cop was enraged and mad as hell.
I can see it, and visualize it too.
funny how there's never any eye witnesses around when cops shoot citizens or overreact.
