Cincinnati Police Have 'Escalated Lawful Protests into Chaos' with Unjustified Use of Chemical Weapons, Says Ohio NLG
“Cincinnati’s shameful history of racist policing and brutality continues today in the streets, but the people are standing together to end it. We will fight for their rights to be safe and free from the violence of police and the criminal legal system.”
Across the country, police have escalated peaceful Black Lives Matter protests with tear gas, flash-bang grenades, pepper spray, and other violent methods.
Unfortunately, Cincinnati has been no exception. We are disgusted with the police’s actions to “de-escalate” our right to protest. We call on our local police to stop these unlawful acts immediately.
If you’ve been unlawfully detained by police in this week’s protests, call our Cincinnati office at (513) 572-4200.
