Think the headline is wrong? Read on and meet police officer Joseph Mensah. You can decide for yourself if this says everything a person needs to know. But I think you will understand from their actions that lives don’t matter to BLM.

This is a violent Marxist group, the Democrats are supporting it as is the media. Both Democrats and the media have crafted a narrative that BLM and Antifa protesters are “peaceful”.
If the narrative is true there are a lot of dead and injured people. There is lots of property damage happening in these peaceful protests in American cities. Clearly, lives don’t matter to this group or the protests would be peaceful.
Here’s a tweet from Dan O Donnell. Note the statement released by the local Police department.
This tweet is video from the area.
From the object of the demonstration
Here’s what officer Mensah penned on Facebook…
A Democrat State Rep was part of the violent riotous mob. Here’s a link to the story.
Here’s a link to State Rep Bowen’s statement on his action on his letterhead.
Bowen, 33, has served in the Wisconsin Assembly since 2015. He was a super-delegate in the 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary. He has made no secret of his support for what has become increasingly violent demonstrations. The demonstrations are occurring outside the homes of prominent law enforcement figures. This includes Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm and former Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales.
In his statement Monday, Bowen provided no evidence that either Mensah or the Wauwatosa Police Department was lying about the violent attack.
“No one tried to kill [Mensah] or his girlfriend. That’s a lie. No one tried to enter his home. That’s a lie. There weren’t several shots fired. Another lie. No protestor [sic] shot at the back door. That’s the biggest lie,” Bowen said in a tacit admission that he saw the shooting and is at least a material witness to the attack. “Joseph Mensah chose to engage with a protestor [sic], and pulled the trigger on the individual’s firearm.”
According to Wauwatosa Police, Bowen was lying.
“The group, estimated to be between fifty and sixty people, targeted [Mensah’s] private residence and began to vandalize the home,” Wauwatosa Police Sergeant Abby Pavlik said in a news release Sunday. “Officer Mensah attempted to establish a dialog with the group but was ultimately physically assaulted outside of his home. As Officer Mensah retreated into his home, armed protesters approached the rear door and a single shotgun round was discharged by a member of the group into Officer Mensah’s backdoor.”
There is video and physical evidence
This is consistent with video evidence one of the attackers shot of the incident. There is physical damage to the property. This evidence directly contradicts Representative Bowen’s statement.
Mob scenes are chaotic and intimidating. But here’s the thing. If this is peaceful protest, why are peaceful protesters bringing shotguns? Why would you travel to another person’s home, uninvited, to demonstrate? Why take your assembly into a residential neighborhood, with a weapon? If your intentions are peaceful why do you need a weapon? Lives don’t matter or this group would never have come armed.
Oh by the way, did you read in the tweets the officer is black? Black Lives Matter? Give me a break. This is violent Marxist rioting. This is verbal and physical intimidation. BLM is intruding into people’s homes with their demonstrations. Lives don’t matter regardless of color to this group. They must understand they will not always be welcome.
BLM members coming to their assemblies with weapons is provoking others. Everyone should understand BLM has chosen unilaterally to escalate. They are the aggressor. We should anticipate seeing a response in kind. That is the normal, natural reaction. People have a right to stand their ground. People must defend their lives, families, homes, and property. Which side are you on, boy? Which side are you on?
