But of the 62 people who were booked into the Cuyahoga County Jail for arrests during the protests — on charges like “aggravated rioting,” breaking and entering, and resisting arrest — more than half had Cleveland addresses. Two were from as far away as Columbus.
Through LexisNexis, we found public records including evictions, arrests, traffic tickets, mortgages and voter registrations for 54 of the 62 people arrested showing that their ties to Northeast Ohio go back years, sometimes decades. We couldn’t find records for four people. Two appeared to have records listing addresses in both Ohio and other states, and one may have been associated with a Washington State address, though his records were sparse.
Many of those arrested came from Cleveland-area zip codes with high percentages of black residents and extreme poverty, covering neighborhoods like Cudell, Glenville and St. Clair-Superior.
At least 24 people were arraigned Monday morning on charges likely related to alleged actions during the protest. One of those “outside agitators” evidently came all the way from Ashtabula, according to the Cleveland Municipal Court’s case search system. The 25-year-old, Shy’Questa Pollard, was profiled by a local paper in December as a successful member of a youth employment program. She was arrested for aggravated rioting, a fourth-degree felony, outside the Justice Center.
A handful came from less distant hotbeds of discontent like Avon, Elyria and Westlake. About two-thirds had Cleveland addresses listed.
The list of those arrested, provided by Cuyahoga County spokeswoman, is a curious stew of Northeast Ohioans, including a stained glass artist from Kent; a Cleveland man sentenced to probation in a felonious assault case this spring; a 24-year-old musician in a “melodic Deathcore” band from Solon; a Cleveland Marshall-College of Law student from Oberlin; a Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame employee; a Cleveland man on probation for robbing a gambler last year; a 19-year-old from Westlake; and a man charged with robbing a woman at an Rapid station earlier this year.
The county spokeswoman said she believed the booking list contained all of the arrests from the evening and early morning from the city, county, state and federal law enforcement at the protest.
Since George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis sparked nationwide protests, many city leaders have blamed outsiders for violent confrontations with police and destruction of property. St. Paul mayor Melvin Carter told the press on Friday that most of the protesters arrested were from outside the area, but admitted on Saturday that he was mistaken.
The tactic of blaming people from elsewhere for unrest has been used to discredit protests in other times and places as well. Segregationist George Wallace infamously wrote in a 1964 letter, “[W]e have never had a problem here in the South except in a very few isolated instances and these have been the result of outside agitators.”
Sixty percent of the people booked on Saturday and Sunday were black, and the average age was 31. The youngest people arrested were 18, and the oldest was 52.
Protesters who took to social media and the police disagreed over which party set off the violence, but sometime after 3:30 p.m., police began using tear gas, and by 4:30 p.m. police cars were on fire.
Online data from the city’s dispatch system shows that reports and arrests were concentrated around the Justice Center, and alarms were set off all along Euclid Ave. over the weekend.

This article appears in May 27 – Jun 2, 2020.
There were no speakers at the rally. They just waited until they had enough people to make a mob then started marching. They immediately defaced city hall. The mob then focused on the justice center and began trying to break the windows at the Lakeside entrance. Police were deployed from the building to hold them back. Meanwhile antifa members then attacked the other sides of the justice center, breaking windows, starting a fire in the kiosk and burning the police cars on the street. The mob then engaged in a game of toss the tear gas cannisters back and forth with the lolice which everyone seemed to enjoy. Antifa members then struck out at the office buildings around the justice center then the mob broke into a bar on w. 3rd. After that groups flooded the streets of Cleveland smashimg every first floor window they could, starting fires in garbage cans, stealing, all while the police were no where to be seen. There are youtube. videos posted by the rioters showing them looting. These scene writers are so deceptive.
I looked up this writer and its his first article ever. He’s a leftist though.
Antifa is posting they have plans to protest and march (SMASH and BURN) the Cleveland 1st precinct on West 130 st. At 3pm tomorrow June 2nd. They may go into the surrounding neighborhoods and nearby suburbs and business centers.
Posted on Burning River Anarchist Collective (antifa group) face book.
Where were you between the hours of 3pm and 10pm on Saturday, Sam Allard and Vince Grzegorek? You have public online ties to antifa groups and somehow were prompted to remove all the things from your offices so it wouldn’t get looted while promoting the event as peaceful before hand.
Now they are creating a false narrative of police vs. Protesters when it was clear that the police were short handed and ordered to stay at the justice center while the city was destroyed. They too were aware of the destruction that was coming and did nothing to prepare for it. This was a coordinated attack by the left. They attack their own communities, like cancer.
3 posts from the same person above mine. “Antifa” is the modern version of “Satanic Panic” from the 80’s. Both are not real. The poster didn’t have any evidence to counter the evidence that there were no outside agitators creating anarchy. These were opportunist Ohioans who took advantage of their invisibility in a large group to commit vandalism and get free stuff and were the minority of the group of protestors demanding change for another senseless death over $20.
Change in government policies should come at the ballot box, not through violent revolution.
Elect more responsive political leaders or put an issue on the ballot.
However, African-Americans already run the City of Cleveland and the Cleveland Police Department.
What about the 15 year old arrested in Tower City with a gun? Was he exercising his right to bear arms?
Baked Chaser, can I have some of the ganja you’re smoking? You’re a liar just like scene and this fake writer they created. Black youth do not graffiti “the revolution has begun”. You weren’t there, you didn’t watch any citizen videos. You are a source of disinformation and likely an antifa supporter.
It’s evident that our local, corrupt politicians are completely incompetent at leading our city in any aspect!!!
Both Taxin Jackson and cohort thief Budish need to be removed out of office immediately!!!
All these crooks know how to do is steal every last tax dollar they can from us folks that actually have to work and pay our outrageous property taxes in this corruption-filled dump of a welfare city and county!!!
Ha ha! I don’t protest. I am too busy trying to pay my bills. I don’t go for tinfoil hat conspiracy losers pushing ridiculous theories and racist rhetoric aimed to sway other closet racists and religious zealots. Personally, I’m not surprised we’re having a worldwide pandemic and social upheaval in this country because a certain demographic voted for a silver spoon-fed business-failure reality show star who doesn’t even believe half the garbage he spews to keep his followers and line the pockets of his family and rich friends. Things are twisted because of the status quo so I’m just watching this fallout from the sidelines and trolling morons
Yes and the other 1/3 are likely from surrounding areas right here in Ohio. Every single Mayor or Governor has been forced to walk back their comments about supposed “outside agitators” due to there being no evidence to support such claims. Just like there’s absolutely zero evidence that all this unrest and violence has anything to do with Antifa. Accounts that were supposedly Antifa inciting violence on Twitter have been traced back to white supremacist groups and frankly, I wouldnt be shocked to learn that these same white supremacist and far right nutjobs have been the ones masking up and inciting violence in order to bring about their dumbass “Boogaloo” nonsense, which is what they call the next civil war that they hope for and actively attempt to cause.
This is what we’re dealing with, a bunch of fake tough right wing man children who have never seen or inflicted actual violence on anyone, hoping and praying for an excuse to go shoot and kill people. It’s not Antifa spewing hateful, racist rhetoric and strapping down their tiny boners at the thought of shooting protestors and starting another civil war. Bakedchaser is absolutely right, if you’re wondering why this is happening you need only look to first SOME of the racist members of your local PD (and we all know a racist cop or two who has no business holding either a badge or gun, let alone both) and for a secondary cause just look at the complete and utter lack of leadership from Ole’ Cheeto Face up there at the White House.
Every day his BS, lack of care and monumental ignorance just becomes more clear. Oh he’s going to designate Antifa a terrorist group is he? Sorry, orange dummy, but we don’t label domestic organizations terrorists in this country, just like we don’t send in active military to do police work. This man has no solutions and no ideas and hasn’t had any since his campaign began, he’s been elected solely on his ability to blow smoke up the asses of morons and line the pockets of his rich friends, nothing more.
So if you’re looking for someone to blame, and you voted for or ever defended this absolute idiot, well, as V said- “You need only look in the mirror.” 19, 127 false or misleading statements since taking office speak for themselves, this guy needs to be gone from the WH before we’ll ever have a chance. 4 more years of the Liar in Chief will destroy this country and I don’t care how right wing you are, unless you’re a completely vapid moron, deep down, you know it’s true. After his performance handling the pandemic and now this, on top of the rest of the shit show that has been his presidency, on top of trying to take away people’s health insurance, and food stamps during a national crisis simply because he’s jealous of Obama for being black and more intelligent and eloquent than he’ll ever be, only the blind can’t see that he needs to be gone, yesterday.
Antifa ate my baby. Somebody needs to do something!
Right Wing is Always Wrong WIng, let’s keep it real!– that is, it wasn’t Republicans committing arson, assault, and vandalism during the Cleveland protest riot last weekend, and it isn’t Republicans running the City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, or even Minneapolis, Minnesota, where George Floyd died.
I’m not Republican or Democrat, but I think it is strange that Democrats are committing arson, assaults, and vandalism in Democratic-led cities across America.
Democrats already control the City of Cleveland, so it defies common sense for Democrats to try to overthrow the Democratic political leadership of the City of Cleveland.
The same goes for the Democrats rioting in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Minneapolis, and other American cities which Democrats already run.
” Right Wing Is Always Wrong Wing “
What!? Your not blaming trump for your horrible case of jock itch or does that come in volume 2 of your TLDR brain fart?
As much as I’m not fan of his, I believe and your drivel makes a great case for, is the biggest problem in this country is not assigning blame at its true source and looking for the root cause of problems.
If you disagree, please tell me how trump is responsible for Tamir Rice being killed – and be very specific.
You must’ve missed the part where I said the primary cause is SOME racist members of the local PDs around the country, not to mention the police unions that help enable, cover up and perpetuate this type of police behavior. I blame the orange moron for his complete lack of leadership and having his head planted firmly up his arse when it comes to this issue and many more. The general state of the country and people’s frustration and helping push them to the brink, I lay at his door. I know reading more than 140 characters is tough but you might want to try it before responding next time.
“Many of those arrested came from Cleveland-area zip codes with high percentages of black residents and extreme poverty, covering neighborhoods like Cudell, Glenville and St. Clair-Superior. “
So some people from traditionally, very violent neighborhoods came downtown, some rioted, and some subsequently arrested?
Whoa! Cutting edge stuff there.
Congratulations on dodging a very direct question – you are proving my point for me.
“I blame the orange moron for his complete lack of leadership and having his head planted firmly up his arse when it comes to this issue and many more.”
So why did Obama not have this all straightened out after 8 years? Again, please be very specific.
Aaron pearl posts a blackout background like a good white guilt boy.
Right Wing is Always Wrong WIng, are you really unaware that the President of the United States of America has no control whatsoever over local police departments? The Atlanta, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City police departments, and other police departments in cities where Democrats have conducted protests in are already under the dominion and control of Democratic elected officials.
If you and others are frustrated with Democratic elected officials, vote against them when they run for reelection.
You should have learned about American Government when you went to high school.
If you have forgotten, go learned about how American Government works on the internet, and start with the Tenth Amendment of the United States, which gives powers to the states, which cities are a subdivision of, in matters, like policing, which has not been delegated to the Federal Government by the United States Constitution.
Oh my jesus where did I say he had control over the police department? READ WHAT I WROTE, it’s not hard. Just because you can’t argue with my point without starting up the BS right wing spin machine doesn’t mean you get to put words in my mouth.
As for Just answer the question, sorry bud but you don’t get to dictate the tone or direction of MY thoughts on this matter. It’s likely no president will ever have a 100% grip on this particular issue due to the insidious nature of both overt and covert systemic racism. However, I don’t seem to remember nation wide massive violent protests during the Obama era, sure there were protests but nothing like this and nothing like the debacle that was Unite the Right, where he attempted to equate murderous, violent KKK and right wing militia thugs with peaceful counter protestors.
In my opinion, that’s at least partly due to the stance taken by the current idiot in the White House, his MO is to destroy the social safety net while acting as a provacateur to those on the left while he blows smoke up the ass of those on the right all the while accomplishing nothing and pissing everyone off. For someone who claims not to like him you sure are going a long way to attempt to defend him in some half ass, roundabout, typical whataboutism right wing way. Give me a fuckin break bud and take your own advice and keep it real, come out and say what you want to say without the smarmy questions that have very little to do with anything I said. I’ve been down this same road 100s of times on this site and many others, even if I did attempt to answer your questions it’s not going to make the slightest bit of difference, you’ll either find something wrong with it or move the goalposts so you can keep the same opinion you had when we started, so please stop pretending to be reasonable, say what you’re gonna say, I’ll say what I’m gonna say and we’ll keep it moving and save each other a whole bunch of pointless time wasting. Sound good? Great, have a good one.
Hey Shiwaku thanks for that civics lesson but I’m well aware. Perhaps you should type that up and email it to your boy in the White House because he clearly doesn’t understand it going by his threats to turn the military into a national police force, because according to him, everyone that isn’t his exalted orange self is weak.
The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room. Words of wisdom that you can bank on and live by. Maybe type that up and send it to your boy as well…
Shiwaku Shut Up Already, your comments indicates that you are also unaware of The Insurrection Act of 1807, which iis a United States federal law (10 U.S.C. 251255; prior to 2016, 10 U.S.C. 331335) that governs the ability of the president of the United States to deploy military troops within the United States to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, and rebellion.
It has been used over a dozen times by past U.S. presidents, which includes when it was used to help quell the 1992 L.A. Riot after the acquittal of the four L.A. police officers, who were electronically recorded using excessive force on Rodney King.
A U.S. president has no authority over local police departments (because of the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution), but the president of the United States is the commander-in-chief of all U.S. armed forces, and The Insurrection Act of 1807 does give President Trump the authority to deploy military troops within the United States to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, and rebellion.
President Trump already knows this.
Now, you know it too, but feel free to google The Insurrection Act of 1807 and learn more about it on your own.
By the way, what you said about the loudest one in the room is not always true either.
Right Wind Is Always Wrong WIng, you claimed President Trump was as a secondary cause of this mess because of an utter lack of leadership in the White House.
However, like I told you before, President Trump has no authority whatsoever over local police departments
You also seem unaware of the Insurrection Act of 1807, and that it has been used over a dozen times by past U.S. presidents.
These protests are being conducted by Democrats and other on the left against the Democrat-led city governments across the United States to protest the actions or omissions of local police officers under the dominion and control of Democrats, like Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson.
What happened to George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota occurred in a Democrat-led city by police officers under the dominion and control of the Democratic city mayor and his appointed chief of police.
I’m not Republican or Democrat, but as a moderate political independent, I think it is relevant to point out that it is absurd to blame President Trump for what happened a Minneapolis police officer did to George Floyd or what Cleveland police officers did to anyone in the Democrat-led City of Cleveland.
If Democrats are unhappy with the Democrats in charge of running their cities and local police departments, vote against them when they run for reelection.
still cracking up over the fact that the scene writers made a fake journalist here, “Cid” to cover themselves.
Very good Shiwaku but there’s a couple things that you’ve failed to mention there about the Insurrection Act and why it hasn’t been invoked since 1992:
1. The President is obligated, before invoking the acf, to publically call on the protestors to disperse, and I don’t think Tweets quite cut the mustard in that regard since not everyone uses Twitter and it’s not traditionally used or sanctioned for official communication from the POTUS like television and radio.
2. There has to be a breakdown or refusal in enforcing the law, as far as I’m aware that hasn’t happened yet, at all, and especially here in Cleveland where curfews have been imposed and other actions have been taken to disperse and restrict further protests.
3. It hasn’t been invoked since 1992 because domestic deployment of the military is extremely unpopular.
4. Many State governors, including in Minnesota where this all started, have rejected Trumps offer of military support because it’s not needed, nor is it wanted.
If he does decide to deploy the military domestically, it’ll be just more right wing tough guy posturing like that pathetic walk of his yesterday and will just further seal the deal on him being voted out of office this November. Your naive faith in the democratic process is touching but with things like widespread voter suppression, gerrymandering, a worldwide pandemic and a president wildly impugning mail in voting with little to no evidence to support his position, it’s probably not going to be as easy as you think for people to just “vote them out” come November. Not to mention that obviously people are tired of seeing crap like this week after week and month after month and if they did vote them out, there’s no guarantee any of this is going to change simply because control switches from one party to another or vice versa.
Like I said already, I don’t blame Trump for systemic racist attitudes in law enforcement, but I do blame him for the level of frustration that most Americans are feeling with our innefectual and hilariously inept government.
Right Wing Is Still Wrong Wing, good for you for learning what the Insurrection Act of 1807 is.
It appears that you now know that it has been used many times in American History by past presidents to deploy federal troops to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, and rebellion with or without a state’s consent. A lot of Americans, for whatever reason, think that President Trump doesn’t have the authority to deploy federal troops to do so without first being asked by a state, but they are wrong. President Trump has warned U.S. governors to suppress the civil disorder in their states or he will deploy federal troops to suppress it if they don’t do so.
Meeting the requirements of the Insurrection Act of 1807 is relatively easy for President Trump to do, and it is standard procedure during a civil disturbance for warnings to be issued before force is used.
However, the issue is whether President Trump is a secondary cause for this mess– like you claimed in your original post on this topic.
President Trump isn’t, because a U.S. president has no constitutional authority over local police departments. Local police powers is reserved to the states because of the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Also, this nationwide civil unrest is due to the anger over the excessive use of force by local police officers in many U.S. cities and the failure of local government to stop it from occurring– especially, to African-Americans.
Thus, any complaints about the Minneapolis, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Louisville, or any other local police department should be directed against the Democratic mayors and their respective appointed chief of police, because it is these Democrats, who actually have dominion and control over their local police departments in the cities of Minneapolis, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Louisville, New York City, Atlanta, Washington, D.C. and other U.S. cities where civil unrest is out of control.
President Trump has demonstrated reasonable presidential leadership by warning U.S. governors to suppress the civil disturbance, which has resulted in deaths, serious injuries, and massive property destruction across America or he will take action to quell the civil disorder– as you now know, he can do under the Insurrection Act of 1807.
President Trump should be commended, not criticized, for not ignoring this serious problem of violent civil unrest that is now occurring in many cities across America.
The real cause for frustration for many Americans is that police brutality keeps occurring no matter how many times they protest.
However, it is the duty and responsibility of local government to have dominion and control over local police departments, not the president of the United States.
Ohioans who protest in Cleveland about what Minneapolis local government is doing or not doing about the death of George Floyd are also frustrated, because they can’t even vote the Minneapolis mayor out of office, because they are not eligible to vote in Minneapolis local elections unless they become a Minneapolis resident and register to vote there.
Even if Minneapolis voters elect the strongest advocate against police brutality, police brutality will probably sometimes occur. The reason why is because it is not possible to foresee which police officer(s) will engage in police brutality, and even after s known, i tithe police officer who engaged in it is usually protected by the Just Cause Standard for Discipline and the Presumption of Innocence, if the police officer is criminally charged.
If you just read the arrest report and take it at face value. Or you can dig deeper like Ed Gallek of Chsnnel 8 did. He went to one of the addresses and talked to the landlord, he never heard of the person. Another one the street didn’t exist,
Im sure, as usual, it’s all one big conspiracy…. Riiiiiiigghhhhht…..
Just because a landlord is unaware that a particular person is living at their property, doesn’t mean they don’t live there. It just means they aren’t on the lease and don’t deal with the landlord. There are several reasons why a person staying in a particular apartment wouldnt want their presence to be known by the landlord, violation of the lease agreement being one, if it’s public housing occupancy limits may be another. Without knowing more it’s pretty much impossible to say. Also, people giving a fake address when they’re arrested is a pretty common occurrence, again, for several different reasons, any cop will tell you that much.
The point of the article stands, the outside agitator theory is not just nonsense, it’s poorly thought out nonsense. Every mayor or governor eho made similar statements early on has been walking them back because there’s no evidence to support that particular claim.
Shiwaku, has anyone ever told you that you’re boring and that you repeat the same banal points ad nauseum? It’s like having a discission with a skipping CD set on repeat. I’m sorry but I definitely don’t agree that Trump should be anywhere near commended, he hasn’t called in the military and he isn’t going to because on this issue, like every other issue with him, it’s all about perception and questionable style over any actual substance. None of the governors are failing or refusing to take action so the Insurrection Act you’re so obsessed over isn’t applicable, period. Glorifying a man who would have police officers and National Guard launch tear gas at peaceful protestors and clergy members just so he can walk to a church to pose with a bible, so he isn’t perceived as weak is both tragically sad and a little bit hilarious. He isn’t strong, he never has been, he’s nothing but a failed businessman turned mid teir reality TV star with no wit or substance and if you can’t see through the facade, I have to question that old stereotype about Asians having above average intelligence.
The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room, nothing is 100% true 100% of the time but you can usually count on the fact that people like Trump or some of these commentors who just can’t wait to supposedly shoot someone have never been a victim of or inflicted any kind of real violence, otherwise they wouldn’t have that attitude. It’s the difference between some stolen valor idiot walking around in a mismatched uniform crowing about all the shit he’s been in and an actual veteran who doesn’t feel the need to justify himself to anyone because he’s been tested and knows what he can do. Trump is all sound and fury, signifying nothing, just like the vast majority of these commenters.
Enough Already We Get It, I doubt that you do get it.
For instance, I doubt you even know what the Seven Steps of Just Cause for Discipline are, and why it matters in whether the Minneapolis police officers are reinstated– particularly, because of Step 6.
There is also a good chance that the police officer, who placed his knee on George Floyd’s throat, will also be acquitted in a criminal trial, if he doesn’t accept a plea bargain, because there is reportedly evidence of George Floyd having fentanyl in his blood and preexisting medical conditions when he died.
President Trump attending church is a good thing, and you make it sound as if he personally ordered tear gas to be used, even though you should realize that he doesn’t make the security decisions when he travels.
Whatever you believe about President Trump and Asians is up to you, but I believe your opinion is based on emotion, not reason.
Your “loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room” expression is just an opinion.
Whether it is true or not depends on who that loudest individual is.
For example, in the past, Mike Tyson was the loudest person in the room when he went off on reporters, and he was the strongest person there.
As for military veterans, it also depends on who the military veteran is– and sometimes, whether he or she has been drinking a lot. If you are a military veteran, you should already realize that you shouldn’t stereotype military veterans because their personalities and character varies– especially, if they have been consuming a lot of alcohol– and even if they don’t , because there are many different types of military veterans.
It doesn’t matter to me that you find me boring, because my goal is not to be entertaining, but to be truthful.
If you don’t recognize the truth in what I say, at least I tried to make you and others aware of the truth..
Angry protesters should realize that even the strongest advocates against police brutality can’t prevent excessive use of force by police officers, and that the best that any government official can do is to try to hold police officers who use excessive use of force accountable. Even when government officials try to do so, the charged police officers might get reinstated through the employee grievance process and acquitted in a criminal trial. The reason why is because the burden of proof is upon the employer and the prosecutor and the Just Cause and Presumption of Innocence Standards aren’t easy to prove– especially, the latter beyond a reasonable doubt.
They gave bogus addresses – other news outlets have verified and are reporting this. Shouldn’t come as a surprise, its SOP for looters…
Aaron Pearl changed his profile pic away from the black square the very next day. #blackouttuesday #Cuck4BBC
Shiwaku Seven you really are a moron. Trump didn’t “go to church” he and his cronies gave an order to disperse crowds at a peaceful protest that included clergy members of the church that he walked to in order to be photographed holding a bible. He wasn’t attending services, he was butthurt because of reports in the media about him being dragged to an underground bunker and how weak it made him look.
Now he looks even weaker but everyone who knows anything about that absolute fraud knows he’s a weak, spoiled little rich kid born with a silver spoon in his mouth who has never faced any kind of real adversity, poverty or anything of the sort. He was weak when he was a staunch democrat supporter in love with the Clintons and he’s weaker still now.
Do I think he personally ordered tear gas? Of course not you absolute idiot, but it doesn’t matter, he did order or undertake the completely unnecessary walk to a church to be photographed with a bible for absolutely no reason, either of his own volition or at the behest of one of the other idiots on his team. You actually believe he didn’t know how the crowd would be dispersed? Odd how you seem to have such a high estimation of this man and his intelligence level but don’t seem to think that he can put 2 and 2 together.
Now he’s denying that tear gas was used even though there’s 100% ironclad proof to the contrary since the actual canisters of said tear gas were recovered and photographed. So now we can add that to the 19, 127 other outright lies and misleading statements he’s made since taking office, so make that 19, 128.
None of the rioters are still in jail. All were released. There are still videos up showing the faces of those doing the damage but those individuals were not among those arraigned after the riot. So, scene, the city, antifa, and blm all got off free after advocating for then carrying out a planned attack on our city.
FBI just announced arrests of two people from out of state who brought weapons in to Cleveland for the riots and they said more are coming – will Scene or clevdotcom do articles on this or fix their headlines to accurately reflect what happened?
