Black Lives Matters rioters damaged homes and stores in Wauwatosa, WI, after the district attorney chose not to charge a police officer in a fatal shooting.
Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm said Officer John Mensah will not face charges in the death of Alvin Cole, 17, in February:
“In this case, there is sufficient evidence that Officer Mensah had an actual subjective belief that deadly force was necessary, and that belief was objectively reasonable. I do not believe that the State could disprove self-defense or defense of others in this case, and therefore, could not meet the burden required to charge Officer Mensah.””We have a very strong policy of not charging anybody if we don’t believe we can prove it,” Chisholm told FOX6 News.In making his decision, Chisholm outlined the factors that must be present for police officers in Wisconsin to use deadly force: a weapon, a means of delivering lethal force and displayed intent by the armed individual. According to Chisholm, this case presented all three.
Mensah has three fatal shootings in the past five years. All have been deemed justified.
The Wauwatosa Police Department declared and announced an unlawful assembly around 9 p.m. Officers and members of the National Guard formed “a perimeter around Wauwatosa City Hall.”
Then violence erupted:
Several minutes later, Wauwatosa police tweeted about reports of windows being broken at businesses along North Avenue between Wauwatosa Avenue and Swan Bl.Around 9:30 p.m., Wauwatosa police tweeted that people in a group are throwing large rocks at law enforcement and buildings, in the area of Swan Bl and North Avenue. “Residents in this area are advised to shelter in their homes, lock their doors, and move away from windows,” according to police.WPD added that the group of people was ordered to disperse due to the curfew, but has refused, according to police.
The rioters also shined lights into residential homes and honked horns around 11 p.m. Others rode motorcycles across the lawns.
Residents had enough:
One homeowner retrieved his gun.Another resident attempted to reason with the mob that ruined his yard by telling them that there are many locals who are Democrats that support Black Lives Matter. The man told protesters, “Do you have any idea how many Democrats, how many MPS teachers, union members, other people that support you live on this street?”
The rioters don’t care.
