shortformblog: NAACP chapter, other groups raise concern over police shooting of homeless Michigan man On July 1, Milton Hall (shown above) was shot at more than 40 times and killed by Saginaw, Mich. police. Officers say Hall, 49, who was homeless at the time of his death, pulled out a knife and was acting aggressively before he was shot. Michigan State Police are in the midst of investigating the incident. Meanwhile, a number of groups — including the Saginaw chapter of the NAACP — are asking for due process as investigators look for answers. ”The concerned citizens of Saginaw are demanding a full and transparent investigation,” said Gary L. Loster, a former Saginaw mayor and leader of the Concerned Citizens of Saginaw group. “We are calling for a report as to the progress and status.” (photo via WNEM) EDIT: For people asking about his being shot 40 times, here’s another source, and here’s another source.
