Officer Joseph Mensah

Officer Joseph Mensah is a police officer with the Wauwatosa, Wisconsin police department since 2012. Oficcer Mensah has been involved in 3 deadly police shootings. Officer Mensah is an African American.

In 3 shootings, Officer Mensah encountered individuals armed with deadly weapons: one had a sword; one had a gun; another had a stolen gun—and fired it. Police commands were ignored in all instances.

After investigating the first incident in 2015, the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office ruled that Officer Mensah was justified in using deadly force to defend himself against deadly force. Officer Mensah—and another officer—both fired their weapons. And Officer Mensah received a Medal of Valor for his actions. This incident was investigated by the Milwaukee Police Department, the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and the Wauwatosa Police Department.

After investigating the second incident in 2016, the district attorney’s office ruled that Officer Mensah was justified. The United States Attorney’s Office for Eastern Wisconsin also reviewed the case for potential civil rights violations—and found none. As reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, officials from the U.S. Department of Justice said, “there are a number of pieces of evidence that corroborate Mensah’s version of the events leading to the shooting. The DOJ said police found the gun on the front passenger seat and that Anderson’s DNA was later found on the gun”—and that the individual “kept reaching for it despite the officer’s command not to do so.”

Racist BLM supporters shot at and viciously assaulted black police officer Joseph Mensah and his girlfriend at the latter's home (which was also vandalized by the domestic terrorists while there were children inside) in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin before the mob of intruders were dispersed by Wauwatosa police and neighboring police departments. Wauwatosa mayor Dennis McBride declared in a press release that any of the criminal suspects that are identified as being involved in the riot will be arrested, charged and prosecuted.

The third incident was ruled justifiable. Mensah was forced to shoot 17-year old Alvin Cole after he fired a shot with a stolen gun and refused to drop the weapon. County District Attorney John Chisholm concluded that the shooting of the armed suspect was lawful and reasonable. “He did not surrender the weapon and was fired upon by Officer Mensah causing his death,” Chisholm wrote. “There is sufficient evidence that Officer Mensah had an actual subjective belief that deadly force was necessary and that belief was objectively reasonable.” Members of the Wisconsin National Guard had been mobilized to Wauwatosa in advance of the prosecutor’s charging decision.

Rioting exploded immediately in the Milwaukee metro area after the announcement from Chisholm. Vandals were seen openly attacking the homes of civilians, smashing their windows as some sort of political statement. Rioters were seen attacking members of the media seeking to document their criminal activities. "Peaceful protesters" assault a member of the media by knocking over their camera and shoving them down the stairs of the Milwaukee County Safety Building. At least one man was seen brandishing a gun at a Wauwatosa riot event as police instructed the unruly mob to disperse. Businesses were left ransacked and looted by criminal rioters. One resident sought to negotiate with the infuriated mob, trying to deter them from property crimes by informing them that the neighborhood they were destroying was inhabited by Democrats. They don’t seem to care, and continued to attack people’s homes until police forcefully dispersed the riot formation.
