Community activists vote to picket Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, Cleveland NAACP President The Rev. Hilton Smith over 137 bullets Cleveland police deadly shooting, other deadly Cleveland police shootings of unarmed people like Kenneth Smith (AKA Rapper Kenn Ball) and Daniel Ficker,.... upcoming protests of the trio are also due to McGinty, Jackson and Smith's failure to effectively address other community issues such as documented Cuyahoga County foreclosure fraud, judicial impropriety, no jobs for Black people and Black contractors, abduction, rape and murders of women and children, Mayor's failure to implement 27 commission recommendations following The Imperial Avenue Murders.... McGinty took campaign monies and an endorsement from Cleveland police union and is now protecting the White police officers that gunned down Malissa Williams and Tim Russell with 137 bullets from criminal charges,....activists scheduled pickets of Cleveland NAACP and Mayor Jackson will be canceled if Jackson and Smith meet with activists at their inner city meeting place and without a score of White cops for intimidation purposes
