Saturday, August 12, 2017 THE BLOOD IS AT THE DOORSTEP Feature Documentary - 1:15pm While not as publicized as cases of police brutality and police shootings in cities like New York, Oakland, Ferguson, and Bal- timore, the 2014 killing of Dontre Hamilton in Milwaukee is as shocking and tragic as any. In broad daylight in the middle of downtown, an officer responding to a complaint from a Starbucks employee approached Dontre Hamilton, an unarmed black man coping with paranoid schizophrenia resting in a public park. Min- utes later, the officer shot Dontre 14 times. Directed by: Erik Ljung NJ STAGE 2017 - Vol. 4 No. 7 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 80
