Panel says fired Milwaukee officer violated policy

MILWAUKEE - A panel of police commissioners in Milwaukee has concluded that a white officer violated department protocol before shooting a black man last year.

Christopher Manney shot and killed Dontre Hamilton in a downtown park last April. According to Manney, Hamilton grabbed the officer's baton and attacked him with it.

Hamilton had paranoid schizophrenia, but his family has said he wasn't dangerous.
