Officer Joseph Mensah is a police officer with the Wauatosa, 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.”
The third incident, which occurred in February 2020, was ruled justifiable.[1]
Racist Black Lives Matter thugs shot at and viciously assaulted Officer Mensah and his girlfriend at the latter's home (which was also vandalized by the punks while there were children inside) in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin[2] before the punks were dispersed by Wauwatosa police and neighboring police departments. Wauwatosa mayor Dennis McBride declared in a press release that any of the punks that are identified as being involved in the riot will be arrested, charged and prosecuted.
