Recall effort against Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson by Black Lives Matter Cuyahoga County is suspended because the Black mayor is "too popular."....Some activists refused to participate saying targeting only Black elected officials like Jackson while leaving questionable White one's alone was an issue.....Those activists say more focus should be given to dealing with corrupt White elected officials such as County Prosecutor Mike O'Malley, who is prosecuting innocent Blacks, and racist White common pleas judges, led by chief judge John Russo, who are handing down excessive sentences to Black men and Black juveniles tried as adults with O'Malley's support....A Black defendant whose mouth was taped shut by Russo during a court hearing got a 33-year excessive prison sentence, allegedly for questioning alleged judicial and prosecutorial malfeasance, and ineffective assistance of counsel....By Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read Black digital newspaper and Black blog

Former Cleveland schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett sentenced to prison for theft as CEO of Chicago schools and her daughter, Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts Nailah Byrd, is crooked too, say community activists, who call for an investigation of the younger Byrd for falsifying case dockets to alter criminal indictments to increase charges and penalties against Blacks falsely accused of assaulting corrupt White cops and without a court order or another grand jury indictment, and for illegally canceling legitimate bonds to keep maliciously prosecuted Blacks in jail.....Community activists say Nailah Byrd should be fired for her documented public corruption and that "the apple does not fall far from the tree "....Others involved in public corruption in Cuyahoga County, which includes the city of Cleveland, include corrupt attorneys such as William McGinty and Donald Butler, of the law firm Donald Butler & Associates, the white male judges Russo of the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, three of them, and Judge John O'Donnell, who has stolen a wealth of homes from county residents for JPMorgan Chase Bank and others via illegal foreclosures...By editor Kathy Wray Coleman of www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's Black digital news leaders

Congresswoman Fudge endorses Mike O'Malley over Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty, and the county Democratic party executive committee, on behalf of the party, will decide who is officially endorsed for county prosecutor by the party on Dec 17, if anybody.... State representative Bill Patmon calls the city ward leaders endorsement of O'Malley a rejection of McGinty by his own party....Community activists want McGinty out of office, says Art McKoy, and Charles E. Bibb Sr. says that he backs Fudge' s endorsement of O'Malley 100 percent...McGinty's fall from grace follows his prejudicial handling of the Tamir Rice Cleveland police murder case, his illegal adoption of unconstitutional office policies to protect police that kill unarmed Blacks, his interoffice conflict, his conflict with common pleas judges, the Brelo verdict, and his public harassment of Rice's grieving mother....Some residents of Cleveland Ward 1 who are also on the executive committee yesterday overwhelmingly decided against McGinty at a meeting led by Ward 1 Councilman Terrell Pruitt and also attended by Nina Turner.....But Ward 1 did not embrace O'Malley's candidacy at yesterday's meeting....Some Black elected officials say that O'Malley is not much different than McGinty when it comes to the Black community and overzealous and unfair prosecutions and otherwise, but is the lesser of the two evils....By Cleveland Urban News.Com Editor-in-Chief Kathy Wray Coleman
