Protest

Faced with a lack of cooperation, an independent investigator has issued orders for six Columbus Police officers to participate in a probe into excessive force during last summer’s protests.

The federal government dropped charges against two Pennsylvania men they originally said traveled to Cleveland on May 30 to participate in a riot.

The Cleveland Division of Police’s (CDP) use of force reporting and community engagement before and during the May 30 social justice protest in Downtown Cleveland are under scrutiny by the federal monitor overseeing the city’s police reform efforts. In a review of 29 officers’ use of force reports from May 30, the monitor found officers didn’t record the quantity of non-lethal munitions that were fired, making it hard to evaluate whether excessive force was used.
