Maria Hamilton, mother of Dontre Hamilton, a mentally challenged young Black man who died in a hail of Milwaukee police gunfire in 2014, was among those that testified at hearings of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, in Washington. Cops have killed thousands, “but there has been no justice in any of these shootings,” said Hamilton. “We are fighting for our children’s lives who are no longer here.”
