Hearing continues on whether a Milwaukee Police Officer should be fired after shooting

MILWAUKEE - A hearing on whether a Milwaukee Police officer fired in the wake of shooting a black man should be reinstated has started its third day.

Christopher Manney killed Dontre Hamilton during a fight in a downtown park in April. Prosecutors said the shooting was justified but Chief Ed Flynn still fired Manney for improperly deciding to frisk Hamilton.

A panel of police commissioners began hearing Manney's appeal request Thursday.
