“[T]he people of Cleveland should be proud of what’s been happening here in the last 24 hours,” Ohio Governor John Kasich (R) told ABC News on Sunday. Seventy-one people were arrested in the city when protests broke out following the acquittal of a white police officer in the shooting deaths of two unarmed black people in 2012.
When asked if he believed justice was served by the verdict, Kasich told ABC’s Jonathan Karl, “Well, look, the verdict is the verdict, John. What I will say is that I think the people of Cleveland handled this, I mean, they should be so proud of themselves and we should look at Cleveland as a model.”
Protests in Cleveland did not result in the looting and vandalism that occurred at the height of outrage over police brutality in Ferguson and Baltimore. While Cleveland police readied themselves for protests to turn violent, reports described the scene as largely peaceful and organized. ‘
is this republican SOB saying that the people should be proud of another 2 murders by police, and why is he dragging them in making them complicit with those killings and their exonerated murders proud is not the word i'm sure you will get if you just ask the people themselves, maybe i was to quick to declare Arpaio the king of right wing audacity of arrogance.
Nonetheless, the tensions between police and protesters remained evident, as activists become increasingly exasperated with failures to hold police accountable in the months after two other prominent deaths involving Cleveland police — that of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, and mentally ill woman Tanisha Anderson.
guess the people are saying they aren't proud but under siege by a local state gov't and locals that seem to say to it's "LAW" enforcement "it's okay kill them states got your back get a paid vacation we've got your explanation already on file sign when you get back". they don't know the Black experience or our mindset because they don't care their assumptions take precedence in court and public opinion.
