A police officer in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, will not face criminal charges in the shooting death of 17-year-old Alvin Cole, an attorney representing Cole's family says

Milwaukee County District Attorney John T. Chisholm told Cole's family on Wednesday that the officer, Joseph Mensah, will not face criminal charges for the shooting, Kim Motley, the family's attorney told CNN."We've always maintained that officer Joseph Mensa should be held accountable for his actions, and unfortunately today, we disagree with Chisholm's assessment of what he saw," the attorney told reporters on Wednesday.

"He is still getting paid. He's suspended with pay, and he needs to be removed as an officer immediately," she said."We do not have to wait for a hearing. It can happen today, right now."Mensah has been on administrative suspension pending a decision by the Wauwatosa Police and Fire Commission, Weber said.CNN has reached out to the district's attorney office and Mensah's attorney for additional comment.

Demonstrations are good but must be peaceful. Try this instead.

Stop thuggin and you won’t be shot

Why would he face charges? Guy literally shot a gun while running from police. His stupid ass got himself killed

Systemic racism

I'm sure you'll tell us more about how the Proud Boys are a problem

I hope the officer gets the proper help to deal with having to shoot that arsehole. Pretty cut and dry case, the naive will say otherwise, of course. 🙄

because he is black?

Aww right it’s ok for 4 white cops but this one must be special NOT

I guess it's time to protest! At least I would if I didn't care about doing everything I can to avoid the virus.

Why not write Black police officer? Like you always do when it is a White police officer?

Every time a window gets broken in a swing state, a new Trump voter is created.

I want to paint my body black and go rob a bank because I know I won't catch any charges. I mean if I'm black I can get away with anything

Obviously a white supremacist.

So this police officer has killed 3 people in 3 separate incidents in self defense?

thats good - this guy looks innocent

When do the riots start

Texas officer arrested after fatally shooting 31-year-old Black man who tried to intervene in a dispute, attorney saysA police officer in Texas was arrested and charged Monday following the fatal shooting of a 31-year-old Black man, authorities said. This is how the response should be....immediate....instead of monkey f*ckin the evidence for 3 months. White cops shoot black men as much out of fear as they do hate. They hate what they fear. White men in general are really scared of black men. They spent so much time trying to scare white women into being fearful of black men that they themselves became fearful. They're weaker. Lemme guess. Resisted arrest....pulled out a gun. Same old same.old.
