- Synopsis:
"The Blood Is at the Doorstep" is the story of a family's search for justice for Dontre Hamilton, a young Black man diagnosed with schizophrenia, who was shot 14 times and killed by a Milwaukee police officer in April 2014. This happened in the middle of weekday, in a small park outside a Starbucks, near City Hall and the performing arts center. Police had already been called on Dontre once, who was merely stretched out in the park, and found no violation. When police were called a second time about him being there, they went to the person who complained and told them to stop calling. Then Officer Christopher Manney went to the scene. According to the film, Manney already had complaints of excessive force, vulgar language, and sexual assault on his record. He apparently tried to frisk Dontre without due cause, and said they scuffled. Manney hit Dontre with his baton in the ribs. When Dontre turned away he had the baton, perhaps accidentally. Manney ended up shooting him 14 times, from far enough away that there was no gunshot residue or powder burns on the body. - Actors:
