CLEVELAND, Ohio- As Cleveland Rocks NYE 2015 hits downtown Cleveland tonight with a 10-dollar-per-person public New Year's Eve party to ring in 2015 outside of the Convention Center on Mall B, 602 St Clair Ave, community activists will be protesting over police killings at 9:30 pm at the nearby Public Square, also in downtown Cleveland.

Also, there will be a free New Year's Eve party at the Horseshoe Casino, also in downtown Cleveland. It features D.J. Smoov spinning tunes on the first floor until 2 am, and the Spazmatics will perform beginning at 9:30 pm on the second floor of the casino into an '80s party. The Horseshoe will serve champagne for a buck, from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m., organizers said.

Other events will be going on throughout the city, a city where all eyes are on the relationship between police and the community, a relationship that is being tested as police shootings of unarmed people escalate. The killings, which have increased racial unrest, particularly in the Black community, come coupled with findings by the U.S. Department of Justice of systemic deficiencies in the largely White Cleveland Police Department, from illegal deadly shootings to cruel and unusual  punishment against the mentally ill.

The Public Square rally, organized by Revolution Books and Puncture the Silence, will address  mass incarceration and police killings. The killings, said organizers, are outrageous and are going on nationally, and by Cleveland police , including the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice on the city's west side, the killing last month of Tanisha Anderson by Cleveland police while in custody, and the 137 shots Cleveland police killings of unarmed Blacks Malissa Williams and Timothy Russell.

 For the New Year's Eve party at Mall B  on St Clair Ave, there be  live coverage, starting around 8 pm. on the Entertainment channel, giving you the rundown on festival, the Plain Dealer Newspaper reported.

Other Mall B party features  include fireworks, food trucks, a beer garden and performances by Cleveland's own Machine Gun Kelly, DJ E-V and Carlos Jones.
Gates open at 8 pm., and the event will be broadcast live on WOIO Channel 19, from 10 pm. to 12:30 am.

Ohio Supreme Court strips chief Cuyahoga County judge of power: 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 and Administrative 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
