Sharpton's Group plans rally in Saginaw Police Murder of Black Man Shot 46 Times
Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 02:17AM The Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network says it will hold a rally in Saginaw Saturday in response to the fatal shooting of a homeless, mentally ill man in a parking lot this summer.
Police say 49-year-old Milton Hall refused to drop a knife, and six officers fired 46 shots at him, hitting him 11 times July 1.
A Saginaw police supervisor has been demoted and two officers disciplined for their roles in Hall's death. Prosecutors and state officials have said officers wouldn't face criminal charges.
According to WNEM-TV (http://bit.ly/RYWb72 ), the National Action Network said Monday it will continue fighting for justice in Hall's killing and plans a demonstration on Saturday.
In addition, a group called Concerned Citizens of Saginaw plans to ask federal authorities to continue examining the case.
