Dontre Hamilton Family
Tonight I spent four and half hours at Fire and Police Commission hearing to see if the Officer who shot Dontre Hamilton fourteen times should be fired for not following police procedure in patting down Dontre. He has already been freed of any criminal charges. Tonight was a hearing to see if he should have been fired for patting down Dontre, who was resting in the park that resulted in a scuffle that led to Dontre being shot fourteen times. If I was a song writer this word essay would be a song. If you want to make it into a song be my guest.
There was a young black man, 31 years old, resting in Red Arrow County Park.
An employee of Starbucks did not like the way he looked, maybe it was clothes, how he rested or that he was black.
She called the police, who came to check him out, a welfare check as they call it.
After a friendly conversation with the young black man they decided he was doing nothing wrong.
Dontre Hamiliton is a young black man who was shot fourteen time by a police officer when resting in a public park. Yes, you heard me right, he was shot Not 1,2, 3, 4 or 5 times but fourteen times while resting on a park bench. He was not shot 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 times but fourteen times while resting in a public park. This black man was not shot 11, 12 or 13 times but fourteen times but fourteen times while resting in a public park.
The Starbucks worker was not happy with the results and called again to complain about the young black man resting in the public park.
The same two police returned and again finding nothing wrong again told the Starbuck’s employee he was doing nothing wrong and Not to call again.

The regular police officer on the beat had been busy when the call first came in about the young man resting in the public park. Over an hour and half after the first call to police dispatcher, he found the call was no longer there so he assigned himself to the call which had twice been answered. He went to Red Arrow Park, saw the young black man was sleeping, woke him up and going against all police procedures, started to pad him down. The young man was startled and when the officer patted him down a scuffle unfolded. The police man took out his club, and as the autopsy reports states, beat him severely. The young man grabbed the club from the officer. The office backed off and shot him dead fourteen times.
