Fired Milwaukee officer to appeal dismissal

MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee police officer who was fired for improper procedure in the lead-up to a fatal shooting will go to court to get his job back.

Officer Christopher Manney's attorney says Manney will "certainly" appeal his dismissal in circuit court.

Manney was fired last fall after he fatally shot Dontre Hamilton in a downtown park. Manney had gone to check on Hamilton's welfare, but the check turned into a violent confrontation in which Hamilton grabbed Manney's baton and hit him with it.
