The District Attorney filed charges today against Dominic Barsetti, a San Francisco deputy sheriff, for battery, vandalism and threatening guests at a potluck last Thursday in Parkmerced.

MADISON, Wis. — An attorney representing the families of three people who died at the hands of a former Wisconsin police officer filed another federal lawsuit against him Wednesday, saying his department taught him to view Black people as dangerous.

The lawsuit alleges that former Wauwatosa Police Officer Joseph Mensah violated Jay Anderson’s constitutional rights when he fatally shot Anderson after discovering him sleeping in a park after hours in 2016.

According to the lawsuit, Anderson followed all of Mensah’s commands but Mensah still considered him a threat because he was Black.

Mensah, who is Black, said Anderson was reaching for a gun, and a county prosecutor declined to bring charges in the case...

Police claimed that they told Rice to drop the weapon - but instead of dropping it he pointed it at police.

The police confirmed that the gun was a toy after Rice had been shot dead.

The police officer who fired the fatal shots was sacked three years later for lying on his job application form.

In December 2020, the Justice Department said it was closing its investigation into the case as there was not enough evidence to bring federal criminal charges.
