Officers sue Cleveland over 2012 police shooting- Ausia Jones

             Nine officers involved in a Cleveland shooting in 2012 are suing due to alleged racial discrimination.They claim the defendants have a pattern of treating non-African American officers harsher than African American officers, when it comes to officer-involved shootings of African Americans. The plaintiffs in the federal suit are not African American.The shooting involved a nearly 25-minute chase and ended in a hail of 137 bullets, killing two people. Both were African American. A couple of months later most of them were permitted to return to full duty, but they were then ordered back on restrictive duty, in a move the lawsuit claims was "politically expedient."The nine plaintiffs allege their treatment was because of their race. The lawsuit comes on the heels of another high-profile police shooting in Cleveland. Recently the police and the citizens have run into many problems. So many people have been against the police due to justice not being served. This situation reminds me of the civil rights movement and the 1960s. Many African Americans believe they didn't have a place in the U.S. and they didn't have the rights they deserved.
