not necessarily his role. but i think judges need to humanize the emotion and to validate things that people are feeling. and in doing so, i thought this was a prudent way to deliver his opinion. so i don t have a problem with it. in fact, we appreciate it. okay. let s look ahead here. as the justice department as you know, is reviewing this case how might that proceed? what do you think the possible results are? a lot of officers have already been disciplined in one way or another for this. it depends on whether or not the justice department is focused focused on officer brelo or everyone else. i think they ll be looking at the case to determine whether or not there s a pattern of practice or whether or not someone s constitutional right were violated. and their analysis will be somewhat different than that conducted on the state level. i don t can i you re talking about the officer brelo focus versus
mayor. there are fears of violence, but, right now here in cleveland, things seem quiet as this community comes to terms with this tragedy and the verdict. protests in downtown cleveland following the acquittal of a police officer in a 2012 shooting death of two unarmed people. police in riot gear pushed back protesters, arresting at least a dozen. three people were charged after an object was thrown into a restaurant. the man picked the sign up off the sidewalk and just threw it straight at me. reporter: protesters took to the streets immediately after a judge acquitted officer michael brelo on charges of involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault. i therefore found the defendant not guilty of counts 1 and 2 as indicted. reporter: brelo was accused of firing missiles after a 22-mile police chase.
should that chase have proceeded so there was an actual shooting later on. so there will be some accountability there. as relates to brelo, there are two things that are important to point out. the first thing will be the civil aspects of this case. of course walter madison is doing just that as it relates to tamir rice, although we don t know yet as it relates to that 12-year-old shooting what will happen, you know, criminally. but in any event as it relates to this case, i think we ll see a civil matter go forward. different standard of proof, preponderance of the evidence. is it more likely than not, 51% versus 49%, that the officer engaged in the type of conduct that resulted in death. so i think you can certainly see a monetary settlement there. the other thing, fredricka, is the federal government. of course we know and have been talking about the federal investigation that related to the pattern and practice of the entirety of the police department there. so that would likely
demcheck reasonably perceived a threat just dpiing at least four shots at russell and williams in his opinion, randy patrick reasonably perceived a threat justifying at least nine shots at russell and williams. in his opinion, michael rinkas reasonably perceived a threat justifying at least nine shots at russell and williams. in his opinion, aaron o donnell reasonably perceived a threat justifying at least 11 shots at russell and williams. scott sistak according to kitsaris reasonably perceived a threat justifying at least 12 shots at russell and williams and cynthia moore, brelo s partner, reasonably perceived a threat justifying at least 14 shots at russell and williams. ant kitsaris holds these opinions about the other
weapons, same ammunition you know i don t know how they would have ever established causation on the part of mr. brelo.. .. ..bad input, bad output. ........ ....... ... ............ ...... . did anyone see that it might present some questions, even after trial, with just one officer, when you had 13 officers who were involved? well fredricka, i think the overriding concern, concerning brelo s conduct was just that his conduct. he was the officer, notwithstanding the fuselage of 140 shots or so approximately being fired. his gun there were 49 that were fired. in addition to that he was the officer who jumped up on the hood and started dischargeing his weapon.
