'Protesters tried to kill me:' Wauwatosa Officer Mensah issues statement on incident at his home
fox32chicago.com ^ | August 9, 2020

Police are investigating an incident that happened at the residence of suspended Wauwatosa Police Officer Joseph Mensah around 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 8.

According to police, a group of approximately 50-60 people "targeted and began to vandalize" the home on 100th Street and Vienna Street.

Officer Mensah attempted to communicate with the group but was physically assaulted outside his home, according to a release from Wauwatosa police around 11 a.m. Sunday. 

As the officer made his way back into his home, police said "armed protestors" approached the rear door and a single shotgun round was discharged into the back door. 

The investigation into this incident is ongoing, police said Sunday morning.

The Wauwatosa Police Department received assistance in disbursing the crowd from numerous neighboring agencies.

Mensah's suspension stems from the officer-involved shooting death of 17-year-old Alvin Cole earlier this year. That case is still under review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.

Mensah has been involved in the shooting deaths of three people in five years. The 2015 fatal shooting of Antonio Gonzalez was ruled justified, as was the 2016 death of Jay Anderson.

I heard this guy on Mark Levin a couple of weeks ago. He is a good cop who shot three dirtbags who were trying to kill him.

And... wait for it... he is a race traitor because he’s black and he shot black dirtbags.

This is all part of the abolish the police movement.

It’s OK, just peaceful protesters. Nothing to see here. Move along.

This went on for awhile. News report doesn’t say when police were called or when they arrived on scene.

Anyone have a link to further information?

It’s not much of a stretch for the liberal dictators in these sh*thole cities to start equating the first ammendment to rationalizing murder. Freedom of speech and self expression should include murder in their minds.

Officer Mensah should get himself and family out of Wisconsin.

South Dakota is near and reasonably safe, and he can defend himself there.

Sounds like he needs half a dozen well-armed militia folks living in his house. The officer is in too deep legally to return fire, but the militia guys could answer the rioters in an exchange.

Why isn’t a policeman armed? Somebody shoots your backdoor, you don’t fire back?

We live in a world I don’t understand.

Call out the troops and shoot rioters on sight.
