Greater Cleveland community activists prepare to picket the home of Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty in Cleveland, Ohio on the city's west side after a county grand jury, per McGinty's recommendation, refused to indict two White Cleveland cops involved in the shooting death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice. Protesters are also calling for county voters to vote McGinty, who is White, out of office this year as he seeks a second four- year term. The Cuyahoga County Democratic Party blocked an endorsement last month of the embattled prosecutor.

CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM, CLEVELAND, Ohio-Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty remains under fire after manipulating the outcome of the grand jury decision in favor of two White Cleveland cops involved in the shooting death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice as Congresswoman Marcia Fudge blasts him, and some 120 greater Cleveland community activists protested outside of his home last week on Cleveland's west side.

Just yesterday the United Pastors in Mission, greater Cleveland's most prominent organization of area Black clergy, led by its president, the Rev Larry Macon Sr. of Mt. Zion Church of Oakwood Village, abruptly canceled a meeting scheduled with the Democratic county prosecutor for Tuesday.

The meeting with McGinty and Black clergy, that was setup for McGinty to try to explain why he recommended a no indictment of police to the grand jury, will not occur, said sources, partly because Black leaders, led by Fudge, want him ousted as he will face Parma Safety Director Mike O'Malley for the March 2016 Democratic primary.

Last month the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party blocked an endorsement for reelection of the embattled county prosecutor.

"I ask the community to continue to support the Rice family and to remain calm," said Fudge, who largely blames McGinty, who is White and a fellow Democrat,  for the controversial grand jury decision that has resulted in nearly ongoing community protests since it became public last Monday.

"This is no indictment against the grand jury or the police officers, and I thank both for their service," said the congresswoman, a Black Democrat who represents Ohio's 11th congressional district in Congress. "However, it is an indictment against Prosecutor McGinty whose handling of this case in my opinion tainted the outcome."

A licensed attorney, Fudge said that the community has no way of knowing if the grand jury outcome is correct because McGinty's bias made a mockery of the grand jury process.

Black on Black Crime President Al Porter and Ada Averyhart, 81,  were among some 120 community activists who protested at McGinty's home on Friday.

To say the least, McGinty delayed a grand jury review of the Tamir Rice case for nearly a year, and he handpicked experts that lobbied for police before the grand jury.

Both Porter and Averyhart told Cleveland Urban News.Com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspaper, that McGinty is a danger to the Black community and others, and they complimented Fudge for standing tall on the issue.

"We do not always agree with the congresswoman but we agree on Tim McGinty needing to go, and we appreciate that Marcia Fudge is standing with us," said Averyhart, a member of the local grassroots groups the Carl Stokes Brigade and the Imperial Women Coalition.

"We appreciate Congresswoman Fudge's stance against Prosecutor McGinty, and want other Black leaders to be more assertive," said Porter.

State Rep. John  Barnes Jr. (D-12), a Cleveland Democrat, told Cleveland Urban News.Com that the "no indictment in the Tamir Rice case is a shocking tragedy."

Rice was gunned down on November 22, 2014 in less than two seconds when police officers Timothy Loehmann, a rookie who pulled the trigger, and Frank Garmback, pulled up at a public park and recreation center on the city's west side where the Black kid was toting a toy gun, and following a foiled 9-1-1 call to police dispatchers.(www.clevelandurbannews.com) /(www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com).

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
