Michael Brelo Among the Cleveland Police Officers Fired Regarding Deadly Chase
CLEVELAND– The Cleveland police officer acquitted on manslaughter charges in the November 2012 chase and shooting has been fired.
Cleveland City Hall said a news conference will be held on Tuesday to announce discipline against police officers for a chase that ended in officers firing 137 shots and killing two suspects. That news conference is set for 1 p.m.
Sources told the FOX 8 I-Team Michael Brelo and five other officers have been fired. Brelo’s father, Paul Brelo, said he is very disappointed and feels the administration is “anti-cop.”
The shooting came after a long chase in 2012. Thirteen officers fired shots. Only officer Brelo faced criminal charges, and last year he was cleared.
