Since the death of George Floyd in an altercation with Minnesota police the United States has been besieged by protests, riots and looting.
The protests have occurred under the guise of fighting for black lives, or Black Lives Matter, but when the rubber meets the road that is not always the case.
In fact, on Sunday, a black police officer in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin was marked for assassination and the perpetrators chanted “black lives matter,” Fox 6 reported.
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. While police said it happened at the residence of the officer who has killed three people in the line of duty in five years, in a Facebook post, Mensah said it happened at his girlfriend’s house.
According to police, a group of approximately 50-60 people “targeted and began to vandalize” the home on 100th Street and Vienna Street.
“It was a whole lot of police cars and taped off,” Rita Evans, a neighbor of Officer Mensah’s girlfriend, , said. “I just couldn’t get in to in front of my house, so I had to park my car in the back.”
“I’ve got sons. I’m just going to have to tell my sons to be very careful about going in and out,” she said.
Officer Mensah, who has shot three people in the line of duty in the past five years, made an attempt to communicate with the group of thugs but that was only met with more force.
“Last night, protesters came to my girlfriend’s house while I was there, and tried to kill me. I was unarmed and tried to defend my property and the property of my girlfriend,” he said in a Facebook post.
