On the heels of an announcement that U.S. Attorney James Santelle will review the shooting death of Dontre Hamilton at the hands of Milwaukee Police officer Christopher Manney, U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore has called for a broader review of whether the Milwaukee Police Department systemically violates citizens’ civil rights.

U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee) has called on the U.S. Attorney’s Office to conduct a “pattern and practice” review of the Milwaukee Police Department in connection with the Dontre Hamilton case.

Moore made the request this week in a letter to the federal prosecutor’s office in Milwaukee.
