Milwaukee officer in fatal Red Arrow Park shooting fired
By Gina Barton and Ashley Luthern of the Journal Sentinel Oct. 15, 2014
The Milwaukee police officer who fatally shot Dontre Hamilton at Red Arrow Park has been fired because he did not follow department procedures for dealing with emotionally disturbed people, Chief Edward Flynn announced Wednesday.
The officer, Christopher Manney, did not use excessive force when he shot Hamilton 14 times, Flynn said; rather, the officer did not follow department rules in the moments leading up to the shooting.
Manney decided Hamilton was dangerous "based solely on observations of apparent mental illness, absent any overt actions on the part of Mr. Hamilton," Flynn said.
Hamilton, an unarmed man with a history of paranoid schizophrenia, was killed April 30.
Workers at the nearby Starbucks called police to complain about Hamilton, 31, sleeping in the park. A pair of officers checked on him and found he was doing nothing wrong.
Manney, the beat officer in the area, was not aware the other officers already had been to the park when he retrieved a voice mail regarding Hamilton's presence there. Instead of following his training about how to deal with emotionally disturbed people, Manney came up behind Hamilton, placing his hands under Hamilton's arms and on his chest in what Flynn described as an "out of policy pat-down." Manney had no reason to believe Hamilton was dangerous. Rather, the officer made assumptions based on his perceptions that Hamilton was mentally ill and homeless, the chief said.
"This intentional action, in violation of training and policy, instigated a physical confrontation that resulted in a deadly use of force," Flynn said.

`The "unarmed" mentally ill suspect was armed with the policeman's baton that he was beating the cop in the neck with. BTW- a blow to the neck with a baton is considered deadly force when the police do it.`

Manney was not aware the other officers already had been to the park when he retrieved a voice mail regarding Hamilton's presence there and responded to the call, the summary says.
A confrontation ensued after Manney tried to pat down Hamilton, who resisted. Manney tried to use his baton to subdue Hamilton, but Hamilton got control of it and swung it at Manney, hitting him on the side of the neck, according to the summary.
The portion of the autopsy released by the family confirms that Hamilton was shot 14 times, leaving 15 gunshot wounds.
The autopsy also notes that Hamilton suffered blunt force injuries to his chin, scalp and neck and had bruises on his upper arm, and that Hamilton had no drugs in his system.
"We felt it was important to get some of the information out about the physical injuries to (Hamilton's) head and face, as well as more information about the toxicology test," Safran said. "Some people have speculated that he must have been amped up on cocaine."
