A group of local faith leaders is delivering a letter to Columbus Mayor Andy Ginther this morning, calling for former Police Chief Thomas Quinlan to be fired.
Ginther last week demoted Quinlan to Deputy Chief. But the members of Faith In Public Life say Quinlan s handling of citizen protests last summer, his failure to immediately call in the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation after Casey Goodson s shooting death at the hands of a Franklin County deputy, and the shooting of Andre Hill by a Columbus cop, are perpetuating a culture of racism and vilence against Black people. Ginther says hiring Quinlan was his decision:

The diverse, 16-member work group issued 17 recommendations. Among them; the Civilian Police Review Board should include 9 members with staggered three-year terms. Members will be selected by Columbus Mayor Andy Ginther in consultation with City Council, and Council would give final approval.
Civilian Police Review Board members must be diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, age, politics, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status, and professional skill - and most must live in the city of Columbus.
Members will receive ongoing training in police tactics, constitutional law, de-escalation, implicit bias, and other critical topics. As city officials have previously called for, the work group stated the review board should have broad investigative authority, including subpoena powers.
