(Cleveland.com) Cleveland officials made a wave of changes Wednesday in the wake of what they said is an inability to discipline a police officer who made antisemitic social media posts.
Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb and Police Chief Wayne Drummond said in a joint statement that they are “frustrated and disappointed” that no criminal charges or internal discipline will be meted out against the officer, Ismail Quran.
They said they changed several procedures to identify officers’ biases before they’re hired and that the incident and outcome shows why police reform is needed in Cleveland, citing the newly created Cleveland Community Police Commission, which is expected to be implemented in the coming weeks.
