***UPDATE FROM COALITION FOR JUSTICE: There will be a press conference at 1 pm at the Federal Courthouse. The ex Killer cop will not be charged. City of Milwaukee are we not tired yet of this Corruption this total disregard for life. The Hamilton’s need your support! They need to pay for the things they are doing!***

MILWAUKEE — FOX6 News has learned of a meeting set for Tuesday, November 10 involving the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Milwaukee, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division out of Washington, D.C., and the family of Dontre Hamilton and the Hamilton family’s attorneys. It is believed a decision will come down as to whether federal criminal civil rights charges will be issued against the former Milwaukee police officer who shot and killed Dontre Hamilton in Red Arrow Park.
After Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm decided Christopher Manney would not be criminally charged after shooting and killing Dontre Hamilton — a Fire and Police Commission panel decided to uphold Manney’s firing from MPD, and ruled that his use of force in this case violated policy.

Manney has appealed the FPC panel’s decision.

This past summer, the Hamilton family indicated they were frustrated by the fact that the federal review of the case by the United States Department of Justice was taking so long — seven months after the investigation was launched.

In late July, Senator Tammy Baldwin and Rep. Gwen Moore expressed similar concern — and issued a letter to U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Last week, we told you Christopher Manney has been approved to receive duty disability retirement benefits through the city of Milwaukee.”
