(CBS) — Chicago’s Reverend Jesse Jackson is calling for justice for the family of another black man killed by a Milwaukee police officer.
Last April, Dontre Hamilton, 31, was shot to death by a Milwaukee police officer. That officer, Christopher Manney, said Dontre resisted arrest in a Milwaukee park than grabbed his baton.

Manney was fired by the department. Just a few days ago, a Milwaukee district attorney announced Manney would not face any charges in Dontre’s death and a 30 page report called the shooting justified.
“There’s a sense of obvious outrage,” Rev. Jackson said.
That outrage was the reason for the Saturday’s rally to protest that decision.
