It’s happened with such regularity that by now the reaction seems routine: police shoot and kill a Black person, and protesters gather in the streets of Columbus.
Twice in April, protests formed within hours of the news that police had first shot and killed 27-year-old Miles Jackson on April 12 at Mount Carmel St. Ann s medical center after he fired a gun in the emergency department, and then again when a Columbus officer shot 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant on April 20 in response to Bryant wielding a knife against a young woman.
But while the responses to fatal police shootings are swift, James Wynn contends that each killing of a Black person reopens wounds in communities of color that have been allowed to fester for much longer than any one protest can last.
The hearse that circled the streets surrounding Columbus City Hall Monday evening had no dead to transport.
The Cadillac, in fact, was nowhere near large enough to accommodate all the people those in the procession had come to mourn all of them killed by Columbus police.
As an estimated 50 cars drove in a loop blaring their horns, a group of faith leaders assembled outside City Hall to call for an end to the fatal shootings that they say were the result of aggressive if not racist policing practices. We re standing against policing without compassion. We re standing against policing without mercy. We re standing against policing without grace, said the Rev. Edward Lewis, pastor of Bethany Presbyterian Church on the Near East Side. We re standing against policing that is bereft of humanity.
