Statement from Council President Shannon G. Hardin on Sunday's Protests
[COLUMBUS, OH] The following statement can be attributed in
full, or in part, to Columbus City Council President Shannon G. Hardin:
“I believe the videos of the Division of Police using pepper
spray on protesters are out of line with the directives issued last week.
Peaceful protesters were hurt in the mix. Clashes in the heart of Columbus are
distracting energy from our work on police reforms. I ask all our peaceful
protesters and Police leadership to stay engaged to help keep the protests safe
for all who want to use their voice to call for change.”
