WAUWATOSA, WI- A Wisconsin state representative who marched with a mob of protesters to the home of a Wauwatosa police officer has begun the process of filing a $1 million lawsuit against the city and local police department.

According to reports, Representative David Bowen (D-Milwaukee) routinely marched with protesters through the streets of Wauwatosa in 2020 and is now suing for the “emotional distress” he alleges he suffered as a result of one of the many marches he took part in.

One of the marches, which took place on August 8, 2020, Bowen and his fellow protesters congregated outside a home belonging to the girlfriend of Wauwatosa Police Officer Joseph Mensah.

During this protest, the group, estimated to be between 50 and 60 people, began to vandalize the home, injuring Mensah and his girlfriend in the process. The woman’s children were inside of the residence during the protest.

At the time of the protest, Officer Mensah was on administrative leave after the family of a man killed in a justified officer-involved shooting in 2016 demanded the investigation be re-opened because the same officer had just fatally shot another armed suspect.

Thanks. I needed the chuckle. This stuff makes me so mad. In a sane world, this guy and the mob that was with him would be in jail.

One night, Bowen was marching alongside Khalil Coleman, a leader of the self-proclaimed “People’s Revolution,” which Wauwatosa police described at the time as “increasingly disorderly, agitated, and at times, violent.”
Coleman was reportedly arrested in Kentucky on Tuesday, Feb. 16, for attempting to rob a drug house. But Bowen insists his own record is squeaky clean.

Isn’t this like going scuba diving and getting bitten by a moray and then suing the company that rented you the gear?

He will probably also get an apology from some groveling politician and a big payoff. The world has gone insane.

They’d get federal charges slapped on them, thrown into solitary, moved from prison to prison so nobody knows where they are, and held without legal counsel for four long months.

Just like the people the feds are holding for being in DC on January 6.

The only “emotional distress” of this child of privilege was when they threw him in the cell with the filthy riotous mob that he uses for his own gain.
