CLEVELAND (AP) A man hit in the face with a bean bag that left him blind in one eye during a racial injustice protest in downtown Cleveland a year ago has sued the sheriff’s deputy who shot him.
Attorneys for John Sanders, 25, of Sandusky, filed the complaint in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court on Saturday, the day before the one-year anniversary of a Black Lives Matter protest organized in the wake of George Floyd’s slaying in Minneapolis.
“The injuries inflicted upon Sanders were part and parcel of a long history of inhumane treatment of citizens” by the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office, the lawsuit said.
