Ohio State University law student Candace Milner said there is no reason Columbus police should be on campus. We have a duty to stand up, speak out, Milner told other Ohio State law students during a sit-in Friday demanding that the university sever its ties with Columbus police over alleged police brutality against the Black community, and that it support a request for a federal investigation of the Columbus police.
About 40 law students and others had gathered by 1 p.m. for the sit-in on the second floor of Drinko Hall in front of the door to the office of the law school s dean.

Hundreds of students at Ohio State University gathered on Wednesday inside the school’s Student Union, where they demanded the university sever ties with Columbus Police over Tuesday’s shooting of knife-wielding teen Ma’Khia Bryant.
“Say her name. Ma’Khia Bryant. Say her name,” the students repeated over and over again during their protest, according to a report by
the Columbus Dispatch.
The protesters also demanded that the university sever its ties with the Columbus Division of Police, after ones of its officers fatally shot 16-year-old Bryant, who, at the time of the shooting, could be seen wielding a knife while lunging at another girl, according to the body cam video later released by the agency.
