WASHINGTON -- In recent years, Cleveland police officers have punched a 13-
year-old boy who was in handcuffs for shoplifting and shot at an unarmed
kidnapping victim who was wearing only his underwear, according to
disturbing allegations released Thursday by the Justice Department. The
agency's investigation found that officers in Cleveland routinely use
unjustifiable force against not only criminals and suspects, but also
innocent victims of crimes.
The so-called “pattern or practice” report from the Justice Department’s
Civil Rights Division was released Thursday afternoon as DOJ and the city
announced plans to develop a court-enforceable agreement that would impose
an independent monitor on the Cleveland Division of Police.
