In an Alice in Wonderland turn of events, the U.S. Department of Justice has concluded that there is insufficient evidence to criminally charge six Saginaw police officers who killed Milton Hall, a black, 49-year-old mentally ill homeless man almost two years ago.
The police reportedly shot 47 bullets at Hall who, at the time was unarmed except for a knife that he held while officers stood a significant distance away. As a civilian, Hall had every right to expect that the police would protect his life, but instead, he was the target of what resembled in many ways a gangland execution. ► Video of the shooting.
