CLEVELAND — The city's neighborhood leaders will gather Wednesday to compile and discuss complaints about police, the courts and the city and county jails. Renillo Court Reporting has donated a court reporter to document testimonies.
Members of Black on Black Crime, Survivors/Victims of Tragedy, the NAACP, the ACLU and the People Fightback Center invite citizens to a meeting (pdf) at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Black on Black Crime headquarters inside McCall's Motel, 14660 Euclid Ave. at Lee Road. For more information, e-mail survivorsvictimsoftragedy@yahoo.com.
"You have complained too long about mistreatment by the police, mistreatment in jail, mistreatment by prosecutors and judges and mistreatment by bad lawyers. It's time for your voices to be heard," activist Art McKoy said in a news release.
The meeting is in preparation for a protest at the Justice Center on Jan. 19, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. From noon to 2 p.m., protesters plan to form a block-long ring around the Justice Center that houses the Cuyahoga County Jail.
The protest is partly in response to a story in The Plain Dealer about R&B singer Sean Levert's death at the jail in March, when the jail's medical staff did not give him his prescription medication.

Does anyone believe that with the current array of FAVORABLE elected officials in Cleveland and Ohio and the Federal government that this alone is going to one day address the grievances of these "Perpetually Aggrieved Individuals"? (P.A.I.s or should I call them P.A.I.-on's)
Yeah - what he said:
why don't they have a meeting to listen to all the people who are sick of all the people that live in the city that don't care how they live, how they raise/don't raise their kids, the lack of families, stealing, robbing, killing eachother instead of working a real job, to earn their own money!!!!
Shouldn't they be more concerned and worried about all these kids that are practically raising themselves in the hood, who have no mother or father around that care what they're doing, how late they're out running around getting into trouble!!???
I'm so sick and tired of all these people that just want to keep crying and blaming everyone else for mess that they're making for themselves! Raise your kids right, and live a decent life and the police won't keep harassing your ignorant A*SES!!!!
