Police Chief Drummond’s denunciation of Memphis officers’ blatant disregard for human life

I, and many other citizens of Cleveland, commend Cleveland Police Chief Wayne Drummond for his statement Friday regarding the actions of the former police officers of the Memphis police department recently charged with the second-degree murder of Mr. Tyre Nichols.

Chief Drummond’s statement, posted on the Cleveland Police Facebook page, called the video footage “shocking,” and said the police officers’ actions stand “contrary to the values of policing and human decency.”

It is most important that our community knows that the leader of our law enforcement agency vigorously denounces the blatant disregard for human life and constitutional liberties which took place in Memphis, and will not tolerate such on his watch.

Continue to maintain this “high bar,” Chief, as you lead our safety forces in delivering nonbiased constitutional policing. Be safe, and God bless!

Charles R. See,

Cleveland
