CLEVELAND – Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish, issued the following statement:
The Grand Jury has decided not to indict. We understand that many in our community did not expect this result.
I have instructed the Cuyahoga County Sheriff to work with other local law enforcement officers to protect the rights of our citizens to peaceful protest.
I pray that our citizens will follow the words and non-violent actions of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.”
