Officials here are urging calm after a local grand jury decided not to bring criminal charges against a white rookie Cleveland police officer who in November 2014 shot and killed a 12-year-old African American boy.
“The Grand Jury has fully investigated this case and made its final decision,” Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty said Monday. “Now it is time for our community to learn from this tragedy and start to heal.”
Civil rights activists have called for fresh protests in Cleveland, where police are still working to implement broad changes following a 2014 Justice Department finding that they use their weapons too often.
But McGinty on Monday called “for the leaders of our community to respect the process and the decision of the grand jury and to urge others to express their opinions in a peaceful and lawful manner.”
