A Black Lives Matter Cleveland organizer said Cleveland Mayor Bibb is spreading harmful rhetoric. The mayor put judges on blast while talking about violent crime in the city last month.
News 5 Investigators have been asking for more information about the mayor’s statements for two weeks.When Bibb announced his summer crime reduction plan last month, he was fired up.“And another thing I didn’t mention; judicial accountability. Some of our judges are letting repeat offenders with gun violations back on our streets. That’s frankly unacceptable,” Bibb said.“And that’s frankly very harmful problematic rhetoric,” said Black Lives Matter Cleveland Organizer Kareem Henton.
The same day of the mayor’s summer crime news conference, News 5 Investigators emailed Bibb’s spokesperson asking for specific examples.The next day, we followed up on our request and were told, not yet. We’ve asked three more times since, and still nothing.With the mayor’s deafening silence, News 5 Investigators did our own digging, and one case stands out.
Days later, police say she robbed a pizza shop at gunpoint. She wasn’t arrested until after Bartek was killed. Cuyahoga County Administrative and Presiding Judge Brendan Sheehan said the Court of Common Pleas weighs gun crime allegations and any previous criminal record when setting appropriate bonds.Sheehan said he hadn’t been given the opportunity to speak with Bibb about his concerns but looks forward to the discussion.
