CHARGE A WAUWATOSA POLICE
OFFICER WITH SHOOTING AND
KILLING 17-YEAR-OLD ALVIN COLE
OUTSIDE MAYFAIR MALL IN
FEBRUARY.
THE OFFICER HAS SHOT AND KILLED
THREE PEOPLE IN THE LINE OF
DUTY IN FIVE YEARS.
D.A. CHRIS HOME STATED COLE DID
NOT SURRENDER A WEAPON AND SHOT
ABOUT THE OFFICER.
CHISHOLM SAID THERE IS
SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE THE OFFICER
HAD AN ACTUAL SUBJECTIVE BELIEF
THAT DEADLY FORCE WAS NECESSARY
AND IT WAS REASONABLE.
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR HIRED
BY THE CITY SAID THE OFFICER
SHOULD BE FIRED.
MARISSA REPORTS ON REACTIONS
OPPOSED TO CHISHOLMS DECISION.
>> THE FAMILY CALLED FOR THE
OFFICER TO BE FIRED AND
CRIMINALLY CHARGE.
>> AT THIS TIME CHISHOLM DID
NOT JUSTIFY MY SON'S MURDER BY
JOSEPH MENSAH.
CHISHOLM DID NOT SAY THE
SHOOTING WAS JUSTIFIED AND
THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
BECAUSE NORMALLY FOR THESE
THINGS IF HE BELIEVES THAT HE
WILL SAY THAT.
>> PROTESTORS IN MILWAUKEE
WALKED THE STREETS THURSDAY FOR
WHAT THEY SAY IS ANOTHER
MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.
>> WHEN IS FACTS HAVE BEEN PUT
IN NOT IN POLICY AND PROCEDURE
OF WAUWATOSA POLICE DEPARTMENT
OR EVEN IN THE BEST INTEGRITY
OF A POLICE OFFICER.
I'M CONCERNED FOR US TO HAVE A
DISTRICT ATTORNEY WHO HAS BEEN
IN PLACE FOR 20 YEARS WHO IS
SUPPOSED TO BE AN EXPERT AT
THESE TYPE OF THINGS.
TO RENDER NO CRIMINAL CHARGES
AND HE IS STILL FINDS THE
SHOOTING UNJUSTIFIED.
IT IS NOT JUSTICE.
>> WHEN YOU ARE ADVOCATING FOR
SYSTEMIC CHANGE YOU SHOULD
EXPECT THAT SYSTEM TO GIVE YOU
EVERY BIT OF RESISTANCE AND
OPPOSITION, TO REALLY SHIFT THE
FOUNDATION OF THAT SYSTEM AND
WE KNOW THAT CURRENTLY OUR
SYSTEM OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND
POLICING IS NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO
BLACK LIVES OR ACCOUNTABLE TO
THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND WE'RE
DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN THE
MAKE THAT SHIFT.
>> I THINK THAT OFFICER MENSAH
WAS NOT FIT FOR DUTY AFTER THE
FIRST SHOOTING.
AND NOW THERE HAS BEEN TWO MORE
SINCE THEN AND IT IS JUST TIME.
IT'S TIME.
THE PEOPLE ARE TIRED AND THEY
WILL MAKE THEIR VOICES KNOWN
AND NOT STOP UNTIL OUR
OFFICIALS LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE.
