Protesters marched in Cleveland on Saturday, May 23, following the acquittal of police officer Michael Brelo who fatally shot two black people during a 2012 car chase. Chanting “Hands up, don’t shoot”, the demonstrators called for justice for Malissa Williams and Timothy Russell, who were shot and killed by Brelo through a windshield.
Riot police charged marchers, as seen in this video, and a journalist at the scene cited a police commander as saying 40 people were arrested during the protest.
