It sounds to me that they have a new law requiring all shootings to be reviewed by a third party, too

For better or worse the shoot is justified.

There's a difference between not having charges filed at all and a jury trial? I had no idea
The prosecutor declined to file charges because the investigation INTO THE SHOOTING determined it was a justifiable use of deadly force. Ergo, a justified shoot.
And, again, the investigation was ONLY into the shooting, not the entire incident. The chief believed the officer failed from the start and fired him, which is the most he could do. I have no idea how things work in Milwaukee. If the laws are set that the DA can only look at the specific use of force and not the entire incident, then that's the problem.
