Cleveland officer Michael Brelo found not guilty in fatal shooting of two people



By Kimbriell Kelly May 23




A Cleveland police officer was acquitted today for his role in the 2012 fatal shooting of two unarmed people in a car after officers mistook the sound of the car backfiring as gunshots.
After a four-week trial, a judge found officer Michael Brelo, 31, not guilty of two counts of felony voluntary manslaughter in the deaths of Timothy Russell, 43, and Malissa Williams, 30. Russell and Williams were killed Nov. 29, 2012, after they led 62 police vehicles on a chase across Cleveland.
Prosecutions of officers for the use of deadly force are rare given there have been thousands of fatal police shootings in the past decade. When criminal charges have been pursued, officers have most often been acquitted or cleared, according to a recent analysis by the Washington Post in conjunction with criminologist Philip M. Stinson and researchers at Bowling Green University.
Since 2005, 54 officers have been charged criminally for shooting and killing someone in the line of duty, the analysis found. Of the 35 cases that had been resolved, 21 officers were acquitted or saw their charges dropped, 11 cases resulted in convictions, and in three cases the officers entered guilty pleas and were placed on probation. Brelo is the second officer in Ohio to face charges in a decade. The other officer also was acquitted.
Brelo, a seven-year veteran, is the first of six Cleveland officers to be prosecuted in the 2012 fatal shooting of Russell and Williams. Five police supervisors — none of whom fired shots — also each face misdemeanor counts for “dereliction of duty.” No trial dates have been set.
When Russell’s Chevy Malibu finally came to a stop in East Cleveland, 13 officers opened fire, shooting at least 137 rounds into the vehicle. Brelo, prosecutors said, was the only one who continued to shoot after the threat was over. He climbed onto the hood of the Malibu and shot 15 rounds into the windshield, striking Russell, who was driving, and Williams, who was in the passenger seat.
The prosecution of Brelo has largely escaped national headlines. It comes at a time of growing national scrutiny of the use of force by law enforcement against people, especially minorities. Brelo is white and the two victims were black.

They would have lived if they stopped the car long before deciding to get into a high speed chase.

They became a threat to the public when they pushed the accelerator.

That is who the dick is.

It comes with the territory. Police work carries inherent risk of death just like being a soldier carries a real risk of dying on the battlefield. But unarmed civilians don't expect to be killed when they interact with the police.

Why did they run if "innocent"?

They were armed. A 4000lb weapon putting everyone in their path at risk of becoming true innocent victims.

I don't think I said "innocent." I think I said "unarmed" reason being that the Cops always claim, after shooting someone, they feared for their life as they suspected the victim was carrying a weapon.

I think you're referring to the Cleveland case where a cop was acquitted of any culpability for shooting unarmed black couple 15 times after they were shot, if I remember correctly, more than 30 times by other cops.

"Running" from the cops doesn't justify being shot some 50 times. You must pose real and imminent danger to the life of police officers and I don't see that in this case. The sad fact is some cops are too trigger happy specially when it comes to the lives of minorities because they know they can get away with it and have blind defenders.

Sometimes cops are fully justified in using force. Other times they are not. They honourable thing to do is admit when cops are wrong and defend and support them when they're right.

so every other officer stops firing and this guy jumps up on the car and fires fifteen more rounds essentially executing them and you are saying that is okay in your opinion? is that what you are saying?

We are not examining the perps here, we are examining the behaviour of this officer.

I do not view it that way. I see it as an unprofessional act of willful murder and I do not want this type of person working for me. He is a hazard to his fellow officers and the public. He shows a lack of judgement and no personal restraint

so kill them and then just live with it...ya know, take one for the team ya mean...guess I'm not a team player...actually that is true I have never been a team player, always played by my rules even as a kid never got the group mentality thing. makes life a bit more challenging than it would need to be, but I sleep well...;-)

I don't get how a human being can take a life in that manner and not suffer for the rest of theirs unless they are a sociopath ... that act looks like a psycho/sociopathic act...

sad for all really
