A police officer from Wauwatosa Wisconsin and his girlfriend were assaulted and shot at by BLM at their home. Officer Joseph Mensah of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, was confronted by a BLM group estimated to contain around 50 to 60 people at his girlfriend’s house on Saturday. From a Wauwatosa PD news release:
On August 8th, 2020 at approximately 8:05 PM, a large group gathered in the area of N. 100. St. and W. Vienna St. in the City of Wauwatosa. The group. estimated to be between fifty and sixty people. targeted the private residence of Wauwatosa Police Officer Joseph Mensah and began to vandalize the home. 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 protestors approached the rear door and a single shotgun round was discharged by a member of the group into Officer Mensah’s backdoor. The Wauwatosa Police Department received assistance in disbursing the crowd from numerous neighboring agencies. At this time the investigation into this incident is ongoing. Once more information becomes available, further communications will be issued.
The Wauwatosa Police Department is actively monitoring reported plans for demonstrations today. Sunday, August 9, 2020. All City of Wauwatosa employees support the right to peacefully protest. Further incidents of vandalism or violent behavior will be dealt with on a situation by situation basis.
You probably haven’t seen this anywhere else. The MSM has to hold on to the “peaceful protesters” narrative at all costs.
This situation could have ended badly, for the officer and the people that attacked. It was pure dumb luck that nobody died.

According to WTMJ in Milwaukee, Mensah has fatally shot three people in the line of duty over his five years of service. Two of these shootings were ruled as justified but Mensah was suspended in July as an investigation into the third shooting is ongoing.
I may have forgotten to mention something, Mensah is a black man. So much for black lives mattering.
