CLEVELAND — Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb is defending the city’s process of selecting nominees for the new community police commission after he was confronted with air horns and anger on the steps of city hall last week.Mayor Bibb isn’t backing down and neither are the people who aired their grievances at city hall.
"The four people that were at the protest Friday — first and foremost, they were a part of our selection committee and none of them, none of those four people appointed anyone that would have been all five of those criteria,” said Mayor Bibb. According to the charter amendment, a single member may fulfill more than one of the five categories, but Subodh Chandra, who authored Issue 24, said what can’t happen is one or more of the five categories being ignored, including having at least one person on the committee who had a loved one killed by police.Mayor Bibb said he did have the final say on the nominees.
