WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — “It speaks to the culture of the police department employing someone like that, it says everything,” Kamau said.
On May 27, 2015, officer Michael Brelo, 31, got into a fight at the Bay Village facility and knocked down several doors. Brelo faces a new charge of misdemeanor assault.
On May 23, 2015, Brelo was found not guilty on two charges of voluntary manslaughter in the death of two African-Americans during a 2012 police chase in Cleveland, Ohio.
“That ruling belies the obvious evidence that this officer has a propensity toward violence and that it wasn’t an issue of him fearing for his life or safety when he killed two people unnecessarily,” Kamau concluded.
