Officer fired in shooting of mentally ill man

MILWAUKEE - The family of a man shot to death by a police officer in a downtown Milwaukee park says they aren't satisfied with his firing and won't rest until he's charged with a crime.

Dontre Hamilton, 31, was shot 14 times in a confrontation April 30 with Officer Christopher Manney.

Police Chief Edward Flynn announced Manney's firing Wednesday. He said Manney violated policy by trying to pat down Hamilton without reasonable suspicion.
